Espurna: Advices to build Espurna (custom version) with Atom and Platform.io ???

[vincegre]

Hi

I'm trying to build custom version of Espurna for my specific ESP modules but I'm a "little" lost :(

I have Atom in my Linux system and installed in it Platform.io system and all needed dependencies.
I have downloaded a zip of Espurna github repo.
I open my local copy of the repo in Atom without problems.
In wiki it's stated to edit the arduino.h file to indicate what to compile but in mine everything is commented out. If I build project it still generates firmware for D1 mini realy shield !! Why ??

Also I guess I'll need to edit platform.io to add my hardware right ? and where do I decide which one to build ??

Thanks for help (pretty lost on this 👎

just change second line in code/platformio.ini to your, change config/arduino.h to your and that's all.

@vincegre The arduino.h file is meant to easy build using Arduino IDE. If you are using PlatformIO you can still use it but it's recommended to use specific environments. You should see a list of options under the PlatformIO menu in Atom.

Thanks @cr3pt and @xoseperez for explanations and it looks easier to use Arduino IDE so I installed it following instructions in Espurna wiki ;) It looks like it compiles correctly the project if I try to.
Now I have well understood I select in arduino.h what I want to build (according to sensors, switches, etc I have) but how to do if I want to build my own firmware with custom config (let's say for example a D1 Mini with a CO2 sensor and temperature sensor wired on it). Does it mean I have to add a new hardware in program and if so how ? Should I add a new definition for my device in hardware.h ??

[xoseperez]

You can add a new board definition to hardware.h, or, even better, create a "custom.h" file in the same folder and set your configuration there. You will then have to build the project with -DUSE_CUSTOM_H. Check the header in all.h file for more info.

That "custom.h" file could have:

// Info
#define MANUFACTURER        "WHATEVER"
#define DEVICE              "YOUWANT"

// Buttons
#define BUTTON1_PIN         0
#define BUTTON1_MODE        BUTTON_PUSHBUTTON | BUTTON_DEFAULT_HIGH
#define BUTTON1_RELAY       1

// Relays
#define RELAY1_PIN          12
#define RELAY1_TYPE         RELAY_TYPE_NORMAL

// SENSORS
#define DALLAS_SUPPORT      1
#define DALLAS_PIN          14
#define MHZ19_SUPPORT       0
#define MHZ19_RX_PIN        13
#define MHZ19_TX_PIN        15

MANUFACTURER and DEVICE are required, otherwise, it will complain.

Thanks @xoseperez a lot for the explanations so I'll go with create a custom.h for my own setup for each of my device ;)

I just have two issues:
-> if I try to compile project as downloaded from GitHub, I always get that error in Arduino IDE:

In file included from /tmp/arduino_build_668470/sketch/config/all.h:17:0,
from /home/vincen/[email protected]/Protocoles-Docs/Espressif/ESPurna/Git Repository/code/espurna/espurna.ino:22:
/tmp/arduino_build_668470/sketch/config/hardware.h:1432:6: error: #error "UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE!!"
#error "UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE!!"
^

-> Trying to figure out how to pass the use custom argument at compiler :( It looks it has to be in platform.txt file if Arduino IDE so I added it at compiler.c.flags directive in that way: -D USE_CUSTOM_H but it doesn't look to have any effect or the previous error prevents it to work ??

Thanks a lot

[xoseperez]

Yes, the Arduino IDE is not very friendly when you do something different. What I do is modify the boards.txt file adding extra_flags to the board definition I'm using. For instance, for the "Generic ESP8266 Module" that has "generic" as prefix I would add:

generic.build.extra_flags=-DESP8266 -DUSE_CUSTOM_H

[vincegre]

@xoseperez thanks a lot for the trick so now it compiles fine and I'm able to generate the firmware file (name is a little weird but no matters: espurna.ino.generic.bin
I have flashed "my" firmware in my D1 but I encounter an issue. It starts well, I can connect to the AP but I'm stuck on password change webpage :( It keeps asking me for a new password, loads few seconds when I validate and comes back on that same page !!
I have then flashed the official firmware from github and no problem with that page !!
I noticed also something: title of webpages with official firmware displays Espurna followed by part of the MAC adress of the ESP module. With my firmware it displays Espurna 0.0.0

May it be due to fact that you build firmware with Arduino Core 2.3.0 but here I'm in 2.4.0 ??

Not sure what to do now for that problem :(

[xoseperez]

Do you have the chance to connect the device to your computer and open a serial monitor to it (baudrate 115200)? Check the debug log while booting the device and while trying to access that page. If you can, copy it here please.

[vincegre]

good idea as in fact it looks like when I try to change passwd it reboots the ESP no ? logs below in minicom while authenticating with default passwd then trying to change it !

Side note: where is it supposed to generate the firmware file ? Right now I only find it in my tmp directory after compilation :(

So I have setup a dedicated Linux virtualbox instance for Arduino and everything needed for Espurna compilation and succeeded great by doing a custom.h and passing option at compile :)
I changed manufacturer name and product to see if it works fine as you can see in screen capture !
Will compile later version with sensors to check if it works fine for the autodiscovery and thanks again for all help and such great firmware Xose 👍

Bonjour,
je suis vraiment désolé de déterrer ce sujet;
ce sujet ressemble à mon problème, j'aimerais créer un firmware qui ressemble à Generic-8ch.bin dont la seule différence est que les relais sont mis à 1 pour OFF, et 0 pour on (c'est à dire inversé à celle publié sur le site github.
j'ai essayé de modifier sur le fichier relais et inverser le 1 et 0 sur on off
après compilation : un SSID Espurna-xxxxxxx est apparu et accessible mais je n'arrive pas à ouvrir la page 192.168.4.1
pouvez vous m'éclairer sur les chemins à suivre,
notons que les dépéndances sont téléchargés et chargés
j'ai utilisé IDE-Arduino pour la modification du programme

This is not a bug report so please don't pollute an other thread and post in the appropriate place and only english here (sorry for that but easier for everyone ;)
