Are you using a Feather Huzzah?

May Peace be Upon You!

Bill has his own PCB with native ESP-12s.

I think 14 is input only, although the literature is unclear. 16 may have some other mode calls that need making to operate as an output.

Maybe I’ll have time on the weekend to figure this out

I have the system (Feather Huzzah) and the app can talk to it!
I have some new questions:

  1. I have the sliders set for motor speed but how should they be set in the app…Data, Motion, Voltage, etc?

  2. When properly configured, what should the sliders be sending to the Feather?

  3. I can use Virtual Pins for the sliders (pins 14 & 16) but I have to Digital Pins for the motor direction…Virtual Pins will not work…What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for all the help!

Hi @tsenneville,

Woot. You’re talking.

As far as the sliders go, take a look at my jukebox example. There is different behaviour depending on if you are using the mobile app or the browser dashboard. My example shows the workaround.

If you want to use virtual pins, you need to manage the pinMode settings yourself:

#define DIR_PIN 13
pinMode(DIR_PIN,OUTPUT);

//out function for direction pin on virtual channel 1
CAYENNE_IN(V1) {
    digitalWrite(DIR_PIN,getValue.asInt());
}

Personally, I think below is bad coding as you could be creating a race condition. Best to set it to whatever is on the Dashboard.

digitalWrite(13,!digitalRead(13));

Cheers,

Craig
