encode to esp32

[gb70]

hello everyone, it's me again .... ahahaha ... I guess I'll be a little long.

It is much greater than my knowledge but I would like to try it anyway.
I got the first 5 ESP WROOM 32 at 30 pins,
I have already done a first connection test ("ESP-NOW" 1 master and 4 slave)
by copying the codes from the link:

https://www.fernandok.com/2018/03/esp32-com-protocolo-esp-now.html

and everything works as per instructions.

I have a Tp-link Archer D5 AC1200 router / modem in the cellar.
I think the first step would be to get the modem to communicate with the ESP32s and then set up Vixen for data transmission.
Said so it seems easy, not for me; I have to go step by step to be able to understand everything.

By copying the codes from the link:

https://techtutorialsx.com/2017/04/24/esp32-connecting-to-a-wifi-network/

adding this command as well "Serial.print(WiFi.localIP());", I see that the ESP32 takes the data from the router.

to get the VIXEN data read, I assume, I will have to put it in the part "CONTROLLERS" --> Add: Streaming ACN (E1.31); multicast or unicast I'll see later

I did not say the most important thing, what I would like to do.

I'm not very good at explaining and I took the liberty of doing a little sketch, I hope you understand it.
I will have to set 4 groups (later they will be more).
- first with n°8 5050 RGBW led strip controlled by relays through MPC23017
- second n°9 light bulb controlled by relays
- third n°7 light bulb controlled by relays
- fourth n°5 WS2811 (of 100 leds - total 500 leds)

currently the first three groups operate with a mega2560
for next year the fourth group would also work with a second mega2560
but if you could apply the above, it would be better ... ahahaha

Can you give me some address to be able to do in the simplest way?
I am not a programmer, I have done several searches on the web but I would need two hands not one ... ahahaha


thank you so much

I did some tests with the individual LEDs, which I will then go to to comdarare the relays connected to the light bulb.
With this part of the code, the ESP-32 connects to the TP-Link by turning on the leds of the assigned pins

#include "WiFi.h"
 
const char* ssid = "MY-SSID";
const char* password =  "MY-PSW";

#define N_CANALI 7

int ch;
int stato;
int chVal[N_CANALI+2] = {0};
int pins[] = {15, 2, 4, 16, 17};

void setup()
{
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
 
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi..");
  }
 
  Serial.println("Connected to the WiFi network");
  Serial.print(WiFi.localIP());
  for (ch=0; ch<N_CANALI; ch++)
  {
    pinMode(pins[ch], OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(pins[ch], HIGH); //HIGH - LOW
    }

  Serial.begin(115200);
}

if what I composed it's good, now I should find the part of the "void loop ()" that can be read from the router and transmitted to the ESP.
Any advice to get started? or some other code I can take parts?

[gb70]

I tried to search left and right on the web but unfortunately I have difficulty understanding how to start the cycle.
No comment but by chance did I write something wrong? If so, I wonder how I could recover the wrong.
Thanks again
Good evening.

Hi

Are you trying to use the Esp32 and some Ws28** pixels with Vixen ?

I have posted code in the Arduino forum that should/will do this as a esp32 e1.31 device

Or you could simply load WLED firmware and it will do what you want with RGBW and WS 28** pixels .

espixelstick v4 unify branch supports esp32 and has dual output ports.

Hi Martin . Has the Unify been updated recently ?

Hi Martin . Has the Unify been updated recently ?

yes. we are just about done.

Hello Angus,
yes, i would like to use ESP32 with some ws2811 pixels and some relays with Vixen.
I tried to search for your code but I was not successful. What was called your Thread?

thanks

Hello Martin,
in the web I found several releases, do you have a specific page where I could see the code?


thank you so much
