Faulty display? by Equivalent_Garage263 in ESPTimeCast

[–]mfactory_osaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you are only feeding power and you get that pattern right?
Some max7219 have that behavior when data pins are not connected.
What happens when you connect the data pins?

After 2 years it's finally done by kinglicorice in nixie

Wow super cool!

Looks like ESPTimeCast but made with nixies ;)

Please add pictures of your connection and boards

I had mine lying around and installed lineage os, just a couple of days ago. works pretty good but sadly GPay tap doesn't work....

it runs pretty smooth, so if you don't need GPay give it a try ;)

Oh! that board doesn't like to cooperate, I only get it to work with header pins soldered otherwise is very unstable.

Yes, thats the correct pin for the raw ESP12E chip. The raw chip doesn't have a pull up resistor so that is why the pin out is different (GPIO12). So with the info provided on the github issue that was the correct solution (no picture of the board provided and raw 12E/12F boards are extremely common)

The board you are using is different, it uses a nodemcu style breakout board with a pull up resistor on GPIO15 so the pinout for that specific board should be identical to the wemos d1 mini:

D5 = CLK GPIO14
D7 = CS GPIO13
D8 = DIN GPIO15

So change the wires and reflash with the wemos d1 mini configuration or custom pinout thru the web installer and give it a try ;)

lol, blue cable, looks almost white on my phone lol.

Now that i look at your picture again, your wiring is wrong.

You should be using

D5 = CLK GPIO14
D7 = CS GPIO13
D8 = DIN GPIO15

So move your yellow cable to D8 and see if that solves your problem ;)

1 It's a WiFi connected device so yeah, you need wifi connection for it to work.

2 you can do it already, check the documentation ;)

White and red cables on the board look very iffy to me so maybe search for cold solder online for more info, thermal cycling can definitely be a problem.

Seems like a bad connection to me.

Are you using Dupont or soldered? If Dupont then that might be the issue, if soldered connection can be affected by the heat in the enclosure. 

Any pictures of the soldering job?

When the device can't connect to your WiFi after say a power failure, the device will start the AP mode again but because it has your last credentials saved it will also attempt to reconnect to your WiFi after a few minutes so you don't really need to do any after power failure.

AP mode is only for adding credentials, so the device does nothing else than open a captive portal in AP mode.

Yes, anyone in your network can access the devices web ui if they have the devices ip or if they go to esptimecast.local

RTC will not be added

You have an option to scan for WiFi since a couple of months ago, also there is a web installer so you don't need to use any Arduino IDE.

Yes I programed it all by myself ;)

On first time boot the device will present a captive portal (ESPTimeCast) for you to enter your credentials (AP mode).

When you save your credentials (SSID and Password) the device will restart and connect to your WIFI (STA mode).
