Re: Testing Newly Soldered v3.0 Board

Is it possible to make this test software a .bin file so it can be uploaded to the STM32 in the same way as the main software for consistency and help us non programmers?

Thanks

Re: HOWTO: Flashing ESP8266

Ok finally have success.

This seems to be a Arduino build compatibility issue. Loaded Arduino 1.8.0 on a different laptop and used ESP board core 2.6.2 and have successfully loaded sketch and spiffs to both NodeMCU and Olimex mod board.

Re: HOWTO: Flashing ESP8266

Well i'm not getting anywhere with this. It seems the Arduino IDE is not loading the spiffs. Has anyone sucessfully done this with a recent build of the Arduino IDE? I found some info about spiffs no longer being supported by the ESP8266 core https://arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filesyst...

Re: HOWTO: Flashing ESP8266

Yes Matt, I'm Connecting to the ESP wifi Via my iphone.

If I just try going to 192.168.4.1 without changing wifi I get site cannot be reached errors so definitely on the ESP.

Are there any files I've missed in the SPIFFS load?

Re: Toyota Prius Gen 2 Inverter Controller

Been following this with interest.
I have been playing with scoping current using Pico scope and 3 phase current clamps.
This is a Gen 3 inverter with 2 MG2 phases shorted together, the peak current before it shuts down is very interesting.
