Re: Persistent time counter using NVS without burning a hole in the FLASH?

Once again I'm designing weird features into my clock OS/platform. This time I want the settings menu to display a runtime counter on vacuum tube based displays, to be able to tell how many hours the VFD/plasma display has spent actively showing something and/or with the heater turned on. Of course...

Re: How to add gpio component

Unless you specify otherwise, the 'main' component implicitly 'require's all available components (including e.g. the flash driver). What you did is specify a component explicitly, which makes it depend on *only* that component (and not the flash driver). In other words: the REQUIRES line was never ...

Re: Deep sleep ulp interrupt pulse counter high power consumption

I would not be surprised if it is; the ULP and peripherals are still powered on.

Re: ESP32 high power draw (fake chips?)

It was the bloody wires and or the breadboard I use to prototype this. Yeah, I'm not surprised tbh. I soldered the components on a protoboard and suddenly it worked and is still working. Using MPC1700 (250ma max) a 1000uf and a 10uf ceramic. I would still have to do more testing, trying the other L...

Re: Is it necessary to ground the ESP32-WROOM central pin?

Hello. 1. Do I need to ground the ESP32-WOOW center pin? It may be enough to smear the central contact with thermal paste for heat transfer. From the datasheet: "Soldering EPAD Pin 39 to the ground of the base board is not a must. If you choose to solder it, please apply the correct amount of solde...

Re: esp32-h2 What can i do with it?

It would be nice to get an answer to the original question, perhaps better phrased like this: What purposes is an H2 best suited for? Cheap and/or low-power BLE/Zigbee/Thread/Matter projects. Why choose an H2 for your project over a S3 or C3? What can I do with an H2 that I can't do with a S3 or a ...

Re: USB HDI Host example

I think the USB HID library has been moved to the component registry; those examples will automatically download and add that component if you build them.

Re: ESP32-S3-BOX-3B no longer responds

If you want to try flashing something else into the Box, you can try holding the 'boot' button, then pressing and releasing the 'reset' button, then releasing the 'boot' button. This should allow you to flash the unit again. Note that after flashing you may need to press the 'reset' button to start ...

Re: How to get ESP32-C5 devkit?

You can try contacting sales@espressif.com but afaik there aren't that many C5s made yet so they may be somewhat stingy giving them out, if they still have enough in the first place.

Re: ESP32-Cam always resetting to download mode

Potentially the board is flaky? Can you try adding a pullup resistor of, say, 1K or something between IO0 and 3.3V?
