ESPimticRF compiling problem

---

Maybe a stupid question, many others apperently installed this with succes.

However, I am struggeling to install it.

I try to compile ESPimaticRF.ino to get it installed on the arduino.
So i copied the ESPimaticRF folder to the arduino folder. Then I moved the library contents to the arduino library.
Now when I compile I get errors (only the last part):

C:\xxxxx\sketch_apr01a\sketch_apr01a.ino: In function 'void handle_config_ajax()':

C:\xxxxx\sketch_apr01a\sketch_apr01a.ino:1096:12: warning: unused variable 'n' [-Wunused-variable]

     size_t n = systm.prettyPrintTo(ch, sizeof(ch));

            ^

 }

 ^

exit status 1
Fout bij het compileren voor board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)

What do I do wrong?

Thanks…`

EDIT: @lschip I have edited your post to mark the command snippet as code. If the normal HTML format is used straight quotes will be replaced with curly quotes and, thus, pasting the snippet to a command shell will cause errors in most cases. Moreover, the post is hard to read. Please see the following topic on the matter for future posts. Thanks!

Hmm, nobody?

I think we need the first part, not the last.
What is the first error while compiling?

The first part is:

Please learn how to use Code in the forum.

Maybe some of the Users from the Netherlands do understand this, because i don´t know what this means

@lschip i suggest you reinstall everything. Did you install the esp8266 library? Is your IDE the same version that is recommended?

I used the latest version of the Arduino compiler. Now I installed 1.6.5 and I also installed the esp8266 library.
Don’t know what you mean with IDE verion.
And now I can’t find my board anymore, so I think I have to add my board?

Now I am stuck again:

I don’t understand the compiler at all, can’t find instructions too.
Whatever I try, I get new error maessage all the time. But it can’t be that hard though.

Edit: found bm 2.3.0, installed it but same issues…

Now I deleted the Wifi library (can I do that?). The result is:

Still learning, I found how to install the esp8266 boards:
For others: put the url http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json in the preferences (additional board) press ok and install it in boardmanager.

Feeling I am getting close, no my error message is:

Build-opties gewijzigd, alles wordt opnieuw gebuild
ESPimaticRF.ino: In function 'void setup()':
ESPimaticRF:70: error: redefinition of 'void setup()'

ESPimaticRF.ino: In function 'void loop()':
ESPimaticRF:321: error: redefinition of 'void loop()'
sketch_apr02a:6: error: 'void loop()' previously defined here
redefinition of 'void setup()'

Solved!

Ik had to sketched left. One sketch with

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}

in it. Just deleted that and it compiled.

Doesnt make sense to me but glad it is solved. With IDE i meant the arduino application (Arduino IDE)

When it comes to working with arduino and other persons sketches, you should always verify that you dont need a specific version of the IDE to prevent compiling errors. They usualy put the version they used in the readme.

Still a question.
Compiling and upload goes well now:

Globale variabelen gebruiken 43.368 bytes (52%) van het dynamisch geheugen. Resteren 38.552 bytes voor lokale variabelen. Maximum is 81.920 bytes.

I have tree the same esp’s. Finaly one of them came with the ssid ESPimaticRF and I could configure it. This one works well.

But the other two do not come with the ssid. Even the compiling and uploading seems to go as shown up here.

I recompiled en reuploaded several times, even with lower baudrate but with no succes.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

@lschip had the same issue and had to reflash the nodemcu. I believe, and if i am wrong please correct me, that if you upload a couple of sketches, the storage gets too full. You then need to reflash firmware to empty it or clear the eeprom(look in the examples tab of arduino ide) and upload that before you upload the sketch. Simply put, the esp is full, and you need to empty it, one way or another.

Ok, thanks, I’ll try that…

Finaly it worked after clearing the eeprom en program again.
Thanks.

Mmm, keep having troubles.
The esp’s stopted working.
after several tries uploading the espimaticrf software the esp boots with an ssid like "esp_xxx"where xxx are random numbers and letters.

Does this makes sense to anyone?

Still struggeling.
I have three esp-12e nodemcu’s.
After clrearing the eeprom by writing zoros to every adress I complie en upload the ESPimaticRF software.
Then sometimes, after restarten several times or after doing it all over again, I get a espimaticrf ssid.
But most of the time, I cannot connect to 192.168.4.1. Sometime I can, then I can fill in my own SSID and password. But after booting then I again, I get an ip adress, I can ping it (sometimes) but I can’t get the website (for configuring the homeduino).

Realy, What do I do wrong, it can’t be that hard.
Or do I have a bad type of ESP’s?

Thanks in advance

Ok, here is what I do:
Erasing the eeprom:

Then compile and upload:
.

Then reboot and wait for ssid, connect to it and open the webpage 192.168.0.4 and enter my SSID and password :

Then I reboot the esp by unplug and plug it.

Now I sometimes get an ip adres but somtimes not.
If I get one, I can ping to it but I can’t open the webpage for configuration.

@lschip is it close to a wifi point?

I do have to say that my esp lately has issues too and it does a soft reset after pimatic boots and thus resetting the ssid.

Yes, its very close to my wifi pont.
I have a lot of esp’s, most of them are esp8266-01. They all work without any problems and on a far more distance…
