FAQ's

Hi All,

I just became a member of this great website.
I have an issue whenever I try to add new switch to my device. There is no any icon in the list!
Any idea ? Is this web browser problem. On my phone it is working well.

@marton.szoke welcome to the Cayenne community! Hope to keep seeing you around.

What browser are you using? Can you try first selecting a Pin in the above dropdown too?

-B

I tried under firefox and chrome too ā€¦ same results.
Here is a new pic. of chrome selected pin . The drop down menu still does not work.

I just downloaded the latest Arduino IDE (Ver. 1.8.0).

Questions:

Do the ESP12-e chips still prefer the ā€œGeneric 8266ā€ board choice, or is the NodeMCU board a better choice?

(I suppose I could just dive in and start flashing
and find out myself, but Iā€™m not set-up right now)

I see that after the latest Arduino IDE installation, I still have the Cayenne library installed- Is there anything else I may need to know re: Esp12-e/ESP8266?

The reason I ask- because of the un-availability of GPIO 14 and 16 (previously, you had to write/read to a virtual GPIO pin, then add code to the Cayenne simple framework on the Arduino IDE ESP device flash). Iā€™d hate to design the GPIO expander chip in my PC boards, -but Iā€™ve gotta have more GPIOs. Wishing I had 6 GPIO rather than the 4 usable GPIO (4, 5, 12, 13).

Iā€™m TOLD (never observed) that GPIO 16 has a pull-down resistor, while all other GPIOs have software programmable pull-ups. does anyone know for sure? I get conflicting info on the internet.

I tried designing a PC board using GPIO 2 and GPIO 0, using 1 shot delays.
Bottom line-
WARNING: do NOT try to use GPIO 0 and GPIO 2! Even if you pull the lines high, -justā€¦donā€™t use GPIO 0 and GPIO 2!

GPIO 0 is used, of course, to enter FLASH programming mode.
GPIO 2 is used to address SD card memory.

Even if you tie GPIO 2 high, itā€™s connected to the blue LED/1.8K current limiting resistor to 3v3.

Itā€™s best to program GPIO 2 as a generic digital OUTPUT,
I label this as ā€œBlue LEDā€.

So- is Esp12-e GPIO 14 and 16 now ā€œeasilyā€ addressable? Thanks!

This might have been fixed already but itā€™s working for me. Are you still having this issue?

Virtual pins are currently the only way. Is there a reason you donā€™t want to use them until the ESP is supported?

-because Iā€™m a horribly crummy, uneducated simpleton who needs the code literally pasted in front of me.

Sorry Adam , I still have same issue , no drop down list of choose icon does not work.

hi @bestes i have raspberry pi 3 model B and i cannot remote access "Desktop not responding
can you help me to solve this issue
