Re: So Obvious.......

Hi Steve

Will do.

At present though, providing a way for the FC MQTT component to option "Clean Start" and QoS would be great, as would, what I believe is much needed, an alternative to espressif. To that extent I have been looking at the RNWF02 board from Microchip which would / should allow any ...

Re: So Obvious.......

Hi

Just a brief update.

With everything connected I couldn't program the ESP. I thought I had avoided all problematic pins and couldn't for the life of me see what I had done wrong. Martin (all hail) quickly informed that GPIO12 was used during boot, something that although I had the datasheet ...

Re: So Obvious.......

Hi Steve

Thanks for that. I'm a bit busy at present so only doing what I can when I can. The way I have it at the moment is that my ESP based "monitor" communicates with my MQTT broker over my LAN, and it is very stable and reliable so I am not worried at all that within my LAN any message may be ...

Re: Switch array

Hi

I haven't seen a way to flip the layout direction or orientation other than view Horizontal or Vertical, so not sure if this will help or not.

I may wrongly be assuming that you are using the array as it is an easy way to check for activity as all inputs are read as, for example, a Byte.

If ...

Re: So Obvious.......

Hi

A quick update.

I replaced the dodgy ESP with one from a more reputable source and it seems to be working fine. Major pain to remove the old ESP as the Vero tracks were starting to lift, so out came the Dremel with a cutting disc. Slicing the board along the edge of the pins it was soon in the ...

Re: TCP Socket Component for Flowcode, Embedded and PC-App

Hi Stefan

I think 10m indoors is good going.

If I remember correctly the other forum member was on a court (tennis or the like) and in open air I think he managed around 30m. Hopefully you get the range you need. I think the product vendor has an influence. If you want reliability and distance don ...

Re: SWITCH WOES

Hi

One way is to :-

In your switch calculations include setting a Flag (e.g. Flag = 1 or such like) if a button is pressed
Before your switch component have a decision, if Flag = 0, then put your Switch component in the Yes branch

The chart will loop until you press a button, then as you will set ...

Re: SWITCH WOES

Hi

So if I understand correctly:-

1) It loops until a button is pressed.
2) It illuminates an LED to illustrate which button / channel.
3) Keeps looping until "Go" is pressed.
4) Whilst waiting for "Go" to be pressed it should ignore all other button presses.
5) Once "Go" has been pressed it "does ...

Re: SWITCH WOES

Hi

Not too sure I understand what you want. Perhaps some punctuation would help <s>

Your chart simply loops and depending on button pressed illuminates the corresponding LED, keeping it illuminated until another button is pressed. What should it do?

Re: So Obvious.......

Hi

Connected a scope to a zone input on my control panel and 0v.

Panel input is normally high, going low when a PIR / detector triggers (N/C detector) and I set my scope for a single shot on a falling edge.

As you can see a clean transition so no real need for any debounce in ...
