Emergency power supply

ar.ghasemi94 · September 30, 2019, 11:32am

Hi everyone
I use charger cable to supply Nodemcu board
I want supply the board as soon as the power cut off by alternate source
But how to swich main source to alternate source?

shramik_salgaonkar · September 30, 2019, 12:10pm

connect main to the invertor or UPS or power bank and then power esp from it. so mains, is there are not does not matter. the nodemcu will always be powered by inverter or UPS or powerbank.

What are the pins S3, S2, S1, SC, S0, SK? Can I use them as GPIO in Nodemcu?

Thank you for your help!

shramik_salgaonkar · October 6, 2019, 6:38pm

i did not find any pins on nodemcu named S3, S2, S1. you can check here for which pin you are referring to ESP8266 Pinout Reference: Which GPIO pins should you use? | Random Nerd Tutorials

Did you check the link i shared above?

S3 ===> GPIO10 ===> pin is high at BOOT
S2 ===> GPIO09 ===> pin is high at BOOT

SPI

SD1 ===> GPIO12 ===> MOSI
SC ===> GPIO15 ===> CS
SD0 ===> GPIO13 ===> MISO
SK ===> GPIO14 ===> SCLK

I hope you know what does SPI stands for.

Hi i want to Connect Nodemcu board to my mobile phone using access point mode and control a led and monitor temerature .
My mobile app is wifi Controler that exist in google play…
I tried to write the code but I couldn’t. Please help me

shramik_salgaonkar · October 11, 2019, 10:13am

what does the serial monitor output?

ar.ghasemi94 · October 11, 2019, 10:22am

No problem in connecting the phone to the board … I just want to control an LED, for example if the phrase “on” is sent the LED will turn on … also monitor the temperature through the phone.

Have a look at this: Cayenne Docs

ar.ghasemi94 · October 23, 2019, 7:37pm

Hi
I would send ldr data from arduino to nodemcu by i2c connection and wire library. in this connection arduino is slave and nodemcu is master. But wire.write send only one byte while the ldr data is 2 byte…how to send 2 byte to master?

shramik_salgaonkar · October 24, 2019, 11:17am

here a code to get you starting. you will need to add the cayenne code and sensor code.

Nodemcu receiver code:

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(D2, D3); // RX, TX


void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  mySerial.begin(4800);


}

const byte numChars = 32;
char receivedChars[numChars];   // an array to store the received data

boolean newData = false;
void loop() {
  recvWithEndMarker();
  showNewData();

}
void recvWithEndMarker() {
  static byte ndx = 0;
  char endMarker = '\n';
  char rc;

  while (mySerial.available() > 0 && newData == false) {
    rc = mySerial.read();

    if (rc != endMarker) {
      receivedChars[ndx] = rc;
      ndx++;
      if (ndx >= numChars) {
        ndx = numChars - 1;
      }
    }
    else {
      receivedChars[ndx] = '\0'; // terminate the string
      ndx = 0;
      newData = true;
    }
  }
}

void showNewData() {
  if (newData == true) {
    Serial.print("This just in ... ");
    Serial.println(receivedChars);
    parseNewData();
    newData = false;
  }
}

void parseNewData() {

  char* val1 = strtok(receivedChars, "-");
  Serial.print("val1 = ");
  Serial.println(val1);
  char* val2 = strtok(NULL, "-");
  Serial.print("val2 = ");
  Serial.println(val2);
}

Arduino sender code:

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  mySerial.begin(4800);
}
int h = 10;
int t;
String str:

void loop(){
t++;
h++;
str = String(t) + String('-') + String(h) + String('-');
mySerial.print(str);
mySerial.print("\n");
delay(5000);
}

Thank you but i need to i2c connection not serial connection

shramik_salgaonkar · October 24, 2019, 11:26am

this code i had given to one of the user. for wire you will have to wait for some time.

ar.ghasemi94 · October 24, 2019, 11:28am

How long it takes ?

shramik_salgaonkar · October 24, 2019, 11:40am

can you try giving it a shot using wire library. nothing much will be changing in the above. And what is the problem in using serial connection?

ar.ghasemi94 · October 25, 2019, 10:28am

hi
i changed your code but in slave when i try to send data in Wire.Write occure error!

this is my code :

for master:

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(115200);

  Wire.begin(D2, D3);

}

const byte n = 32;

char receivedChars[n];   // an array to store the received data

boolean newData = false;

void loop() {

  Wire.requestFrom(8, 6);    // request 6 bytes from slave device #8
  recvWithendString();
  showNewData();
}

void recvWithendString() {

  static byte index = 0;

  char endString = '\n';   //last  of String

  char rd;

  while (Wire.available() > 0 && newData == false) {

    rd = Wire.read();

    if (rd != endString) {

      receivedChars[index] = rd;

      index++;

      if (index >= n) {

        index = n - 1;

      }

    }

    else {

      receivedChars[index] = '\0'; // terminate the string

      index = 0;

      newData = true;

    }

  }

}

void showNewData() {

  if (newData == true) {

    Serial.print("This just in ... ");

    Serial.println(receivedChars);

    parseNewData();

    newData = false;

  }

}

void parseNewData() {

  char* val1 = strtok(receivedChars, "-");

  Serial.print("val1 = ");

  Serial.println(val1);

  char* val2 = strtok(NULL, "-");

  Serial.print("val2 = ");

  Serial.println(val2);

}

and for slave :

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(115200);
  Wire.begin(8);
  Wire.onRequest(requestfunction);

}

int h = 10;

int t ;

String str;

void requestfunction() {
  Wire.write(str);

  Wire.write("\n");   // '\n' send for determin last of string
}

void loop() {

  t ++;

  h++;

  str = String(t) + String('-') + String(h) + String('-');

  delay(5000);

}

ar.ghasemi94 · October 25, 2019, 10:57am

I have not problem in i2c…yesterday you sent me serial communiction code for connection between arduino…but i said to you i need i2c connection code that can send 2 byte by wire.write and you said me change this code… now i changed your code…
only my problem is wire.write error how to should change slave code for that no have error?

shramik_salgaonkar · October 25, 2019, 11:33am

oh, sorry, have a look at this on how to send mutiple byte data i2c questions - sending multiple bytes to and from arduinos - Programming Questions - Arduino Forum
