myFP2ESP32 WiFi ASCOM Focus Controller / Discussion / General Discussion: lilygo T-motor issues

stephen webster - 2024-02-21

im trying to build the lilygo focuser but i cant seem to find the "PRO2ESP32TMC2209LGTM" option in controller config.h. im not using the xiao board (bought the wrong version) but have managed to upload to the lilygo with panics and constant reboots. i have uploaded data after the flash but no fix. do i have to use the xiao?
thanks for any help you can give

  Hi Stephen.
  
  Are you using a Lilygo T-Motor Board or a XIAO and witch Xiao (C3 , S3 ...)?
  
  Lilygo T-Motor Board is an ESP32 Pico D4
  
  PRO2ESP32TMC2209LGTM is the right choice.
  
  If not present in controller_config.h it is a mater of release.
  
  I can check that this evening.
  
  Regards
  
  Eric

    im using the t motor board but bought the xiao s3 instead of the c3 (that wouldnt speak to the board) so i used another board but uploads would just panic the board and boot loop. the LGTM option is not available in controller config.h with only the xiao being selectable but in other parts of the sketch LGTM is mentioned so im super confused as to what i should select

  Hi Stephen
  
  Something is wrong in the crontroler_config.h files.
  
  Please update the end of the board section with :
  
  //#define DRVBRD    PRO2ESP32TMC2209LGTM    // Eric Harant,
  Lilygo-T-Motor board, set target to ESP32 PICO-D4
  //#define DRVBRD    PRO2ESP32TMC2209XIAOC3 // Eric Harant, Xiao C3 dev
  board, set target to ESP32 C3
  //#define DRVBRD     CUSTOMBRD
  
  and select PRO2ESP32TMC2209LGTM
  
  In Arduino IDE select the ESP32 Pico-D4 board for compiling.
  
  I've not port the software on XIAO S3 yet. it is nearly the same as the
  classical ESP32S3 but with different pinout, and for sure not compatible
  with XIAO C3.
  
  I have a XIAO S3 in stock, I will do that in a near futur.
  
  When connecting you adapter use only RX TX and GND but not VCC! if you
  power the board with the 12V plug.
  
  You will have to put the target device in boot mode manually.
  
  The json config file will be 61.json.

thank you so much for your reply, i noticed the lilygo is quite a newer board for myfp but it is so convenient. i will give the amendments a try tonight

Stephen.
Try to compile and load a simple exemple like "hello world"
it should run without problem
Then upload the spifs partition
and at last upload the new firmware.

I just rebuild myfp2esp32_311-02 , with the changes I tell you,
I have to change also line 375 in driver_board.cpp (missing parenthesis)
} else if ((_boardnum == PRO2ESP32TMC2209LGTM) || (_boardnum == PRO2ESP32TMC2209XIAOC3)) {

I load the data before and then compile and load the bin
and evething works

I think that a previous attemp corrupted one the SPIFS files

I usualy always clean the SPIFS before testing a new version.

// set target to ESP32 PICO-D4
#define PRO2ESP32TMC2209XIAOC3 62 // This is board for LiliGo-T-Motor

and in Boards part of controller_config.h looks lke

//#define DRVBRD    PRO2ESP32ULN2003
//#define DRVBRD    PRO2ESP32L298N
//#define DRVBRD    PRO2ESP32L293DMINI

//#define DRVBRD    PRO2ESP32TMC2209XIAOC3 // Eric Harant, Lilygo-T-Motor board
//#define DRVBRD    CUSTOMBRD

and you have these in the data/boards folder

60.jsn
61.jsn
62.jsn

and the fix that Eric listed above, line 375 in driver_board.cpp (missing parenthesis)

} else if ((_boardnum == PRO2ESP32TMC2209LGTM) || (_boardnum == PRO2ESP32TMC2209XIAOC3)) {

Eric is the Authoritative source on the LilyGo-T-Motor, I do not have one, so Eric is the goto guy on this - and thanks Eric for helping out, most appreciated

regards
Robert

        Hi Stephen.
        
        I make it run but not the display for the moment.
        
        I Believe that you have a issue with wifi connexion.
        
        You can create a wificonfig.jsn text file in the data folder with this format :
        
        {"mySSID":"myssid","myPASSWORD":"mypasswd","mySSID_1":"myssid_EXT","myPASSWORD_1":"mypasswdi"}
        
        Replace ssid and password with you setting.
        ESP Wifi only works with 2.4 GHz Wifi not 5GHz
        
        You will « see » the focuser connected on your netwoork and start to play with it
        I will try to found a small usable I2C display in my stock to check it.
        
        Best regards
        Eric

  well i am still getting the boot loop problem
  
  The boot loop issue is common and there are two things that cause it.
  1. The data sketch files are not uploaded
  2. network connectivity issue, wrong ssid credentials etc
  
  the best way is to enable the bootup logging. Outputs messages to serial port when booting up (speed 115200)
  
  Disable debug server
  In file controller_defines.h, towards line 25 of the file, change
  //#define BOOT_PRINT 1
  to
  #define BOOT_PRINT 1
  and reprogram the controller.
  
  You will be able to see if the chip is connecting correctly based on the log messages
  If spiffs fails to start you will see that -
  If you are using WifiConfig you will also see that
  If you get to the stage of starting the web server/management server and then fails, the files for that are not on the esp32 in spiffs.
  
  It is always best to upload firmware, upload data sketch files. Since u seem to be having a lot of issues, I would suggest upload of firmware and sketch files are done using Serial port and NOT via OTA.
  
  Also, dont use IDE version 2,x,x as it has an option to clear Spiffs when uploading new firmware. Which is why its always a good idea of loading the sketch data files immediately after a firmware upload.
