Anders 4u2 Thanks, have you checked out my latest versions of this I found out what was causes the size issues it was the length of the html/http packet sizes so I now periodically send packets when they grow above a certain size, this now allows unlimited data to be sent to google charts.

SC

I give you fair warning the Google chart bits are 'exceptionally' complicated and any amendment is almost certainly likely to fail.You can modify the HTML colours and fonts, styles, but if you increase the volume of HTML data sent to Google then they complain. Good luck with your learning.

Thank you I appreciate that as a lot of time and effort goes into the code and videos.

Things to be aware of, the SD card is quite slow so if there is a power cut and on restart it begins to read the stored data so it carries on continuously but when there are a lot of records that process can take a long time and it won’t allow connections until it’s finished I’m thinking about 2-5 mins so you need to be aware of that don’t think it’s crashed it’s just busy. It will return to webserving eventually

Great good to know. It will be located in an enclosure that is part of a solar panel and battery and will not be a hurry up and read setup. But need to extend my wifi to reach the device as it is just outside the range of my 2.4Ghz signal.

You could get an ESP8266 with an external aerial they have a 12cm long diploe a bit like a Wi-Fi antenna and that will extend the range by a factor of two. Antennas are usually an add-on purchase depending on size and gain and need to be vertically polarised so pointing upwards. Often it is also a matter of trying different orientations to maximise signal, the antennas are directional, and similarly with the Router antennas if it has any.

@@G6EJD Another amazing project. (1) Any reasonable way to add an external antenna in place of the built-in esp32 antenna, vs purchase an esp32 with an existing external antenna connector? (2) Any reasonable way to solder additional usable flash memory (not SDI card) to an esp32? Thanks for all your efforts - you have taught me many useful concepts. 73 K6CCA

Not really and I’ve never seen any surface mount sockets for sale. The big problem would be getting a match and the feed point is under the shield, there are ESP32 modules with an external antenna socket. Adding memory would be a bit futile as the maximum addressable space is what’s generally already fitted at 32Mb or 4MBytes. To use the extra memory beyond that you’d need to use the Espressif zIDE and special techniques to access the additional storage, but to be honest 4MB is a huge amount of storage for a micro controller. 73 Dave G6EJD

I usually include a link in the source code to the timezone database to find the correct code to use, good luck with your project

@@G6EJD thank you for your reply. I will try to understand how this works by looking at the time library and what line I need to add to set this code.

It’s the timezone code setenv("TZ", Timezone, 1); Where timezone is in the form: //const char* Timezone = "MET-1METDST,M3.5.0/01,M10.5.0/02"; // Most of Europe //const char* Timezone = "CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3"; // Central Europe //const char* Timezone = "EST-2METDST,M3.5.0/01,M10.5.0/02"; // Most of Europe //const char* Timezone = "EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0"; // EST USA //const char* Timezone = "CST6CDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0"; // CST USA //const char* Timezone = "MST7MDT,M4.1.0,M10.5.0"; // MST USA //const char* Timezone = "NZST-12NZDT,M9.5.0,M4.1.0/3"; // Auckland //const char* Timezone = "EET-2EEST,M3.5.5/0,M10.5.5/0"; // Asia //const char* Timezone = "ACST-9:30ACDT,M10.1.0,M4.1.0/3": // Australia

Found a ESP32 version of the board you were using, the MH-ET LIVE and ordered a couple. Discovered the ESP32S is simply new packaging for the ESP32 revision 1 chip, not an upgrade or bug fix.

The boards go under the name of MH-ET-Live ESP32 but the TTGO variants are the same. Most are now Rev.1 silicon.

I have had a SPIFFS based logger running for 18-months now and it's worked perfectly. As long as your not continuously writing to the same locations and at a very fast rate (~1,000,000 writes per location) then statistically it should last for a long time. The nature of most data logging is a slow update and write. You can read as many times as you want. You could upload data to Google Maps and get them to save it for you! All you need is lat, lon coordinates.

YEs it is confusing, the trick is to go up one-level and choose 'Repositories' or click on my class-sign G6EJD and then the most recent changes are listed. Here it is: github.com/G6EJD/ESP8266-Autonomous-Graphing-Data-Logger About two down.

Thank you ordered one should be here in the next month will let you know how it works out.

OK, Then you need one of these! github.com/G6EJD/ESP8266-Autonomous-Graphing-Data-Logger

Decided to try: ESP8266_DHT11_WEMOS_SHIELD_SD_LOG_Webserver_FINALc sketch. The shield called out on the silkscreen, DHT and the pictures I found showing the blue Temperature and humidity shield referred to it as DHT11 so that is the sketch I used but will try the other sketches and see if this fixes the problem. I am a GitHub Novice so don't know the steps to help when problems are found so I will share them here. expected '(' before 'isnan' expected ')' before 'dew_point' After making these corrections the sketch uploaded. Pretty dials and stuff looked good as in not showing zero but the serial port was reporting: Error reading temperature! Error reading humidity! Also, I did not have the micro SD card shield installed and it did report this and will add the card now. Hopefully, the card being absent does not cause the Reading errors I reported above.

DHT11 is the blue one and DHT22 is the White one and yes they both have different pins unless you swap the blue for the white one. It works without the SD shield but won’t save the data.

soovui It will compile and work with the ESP8266 it has conditional compile statements so will work.

You could but the processor would spend more time servicing sensor data than serving the web pages and saving the data, it is difficult to calculate the overhead by static code analysis, so you’d need to gradually reduce the sample time to measure the effect on system performance then you’ll get an idea of how fast the sample rate could be, there are few situations that require sampling at that rate, it doesn’t sound sensible to be sampling a real world activity at that rate unless a high speed object or activity

Once the ESP8266 has been used on a Wi-Fi and because it's using the WiFiManager library then it uses stored credentials on the ESP8266. If you do a ESP.Reset(); then it clears the credentials and that won't work anymore until you go through the Wi-Fi manager connection process or supply them in the file.

If you have plugged the DHT11 in above the ESP8266 you will notice in the readings some heat transfer via both conduction and convection and the only solution is to use say DuPont ca led or get a Wemos D1 mini dual base that solved nearly all heat transfer problems.

No if the file exists it’s not deleted, so survives most actions, if the programme size increases it’s possible for the flash area to be overwritten losing data. Yes flash life is affected but using a sensible logging time of once every 10-mins gives a long life of many years.

ALLO CEDRIC BOLAMBA, at the start of the code is the definition for the dht12 but commented out just remove the comment prefix and add one to the dht22 line

Only the lines associated with setting up the sensor and actually read the values, so no more than 4 lines, add the library include in place of the sht31, then define the object replacing the set variant then DHT.begin then dht.readtemperature in place of sht.read...

@@G6EJD Great! Thank you!

It's a very good question. First off, are you sure it's 32MByte and not the standard 32Mbit (32/8=4MByte). The Arduino IDE does not support accessing flash > 4MByte, you'd need to use the esptool from Espressif to access any Flash greater than 4MB. There is very little written or covered on the subject and I suspect using the extra memory is going to be complex at least. Hopefully in time, the IDE will be updated to support larger storage now becoming more prevalent. All the memory is access via an SPI (serial) bus, so it should not be that difficult to extend. Currently you need to change the memory mapping for the ESP8266 to use any storage >4MB, which is essentially tell it there is extra available, but only in the esptool environment can this be done.

hello David, for my understanding it's 32Mbit (4MB)yte. It seems that Arduino 1.85 supports only 4Mbits (1 Mbyte) for SPIFFS. For my understanding you can't use these for Arduino today. Maybe usable for esptool or Atom. But my knowledge about these is horrible. Funny is that these modules are realy cheap. It cost by Aliexpress > 2€. As an result of these you get more memory for less money and modules work without any problem.

In Arduino IDE there is a 1M or 4M option for SPIFFS so you can use all of the Flash storage. I just looked at my data logger (SHT30) that has been running for about 14-months now and it's data store is reported at 4.1MBytes so it has clearly wrapped around, so that's using all the data for sure.

I added a DHT22 version, but it is a very old sensor and extremely inaccurate. See Github link in video description.

@@G6EJD Thanks mate for your reply :)

Luka Knol Hi, I have produced a bme280 version here. github.com/G6EJD/ESP-Sensor-Server-and-Clients the server will display any data received. If need any help let me know

Version with server and client requires two platforms with esp32, one for server and second for sensor. Is it possible to modify project from Tech Note 80 to use with BME280?

I use Edge and IE I have not used Chrome but I see why not.

Zana Taher, on the basis that it does not need an internet connection then yes. Although at some point you’ll need to use the server to upload data to your PC or request data from the server by your PC both are supported in the code I’ve provided

Yes, in the read sensor section change the code to read the required sensor.

So the LogView option does not work?

To convert to SD card requires very little code change, add the SD library reference and replace spiffs with SD eg spiffs.begin SD.begin. I’m not sure what you mean about SSID password in web page, I need more information

I presume your using the SHT30 version. This is how you change all units to Deg-F: 1. On line 117 change Deg-C to Deg-F using tempC x 9 / 5 + 32 temp = sht30.cTemp*10*9/5+32; 2. Search for all instances of Deg-C and replace with Deg-F That's it.

Using SHT11 but will see if I can figure it out using your instructions above. Thank you very much.

Rud Dog it’s the same process just find the line where it reads temperature and convert it with x9/5+32 change all deg-c to deg-f

Failed to find the line in question so much so that my eyeballs are sore. I realize you said fo the SHT30 version and assumed the SHT11 was similar but getting the feeling they are not.

The code was written for the SHT-30 so there is no mention of the SHT-11 so I’ll need to produce a version for it but it will take a few hours. Standby.

There’s no accessible storage on any wlan router, you can store data on the ESP32 flash or SD card but what you want to do is very complex, other than what I have provided in tn080 and others I’ve done

Interesting, mine does not do that, it cycles around. I have had a unit running since Nov'17, it still is, and the FLASH for SPIFFS should be segmented and not write out of bounds, BTW mine is a Rev.1 silicon, but from the release notes I've seen that should make little difference. I wonder if the SPIFFS implementation is untested when the SPIFFS become full, it is possible. Have you tried a ESP.reset() and ESP.clearConfig(); but then if you can't communicate with the device that's odd as I thought that was hardcoded. Thanks for letting us know. BTW I have a an ESP8266 version running and that has twice filled up the SPIFFS and run around again without any issues. I know the libraries are different, so I'm thinking a library issue.

thanks. i dont know the cause yet, but i just somehow managedto remove wroom 32 board from my wemos board and put new board i had. now new one works. why first one got damaged , remains mystery to me.

Today I have been testing the arrangement and forcing it to wrap around and the results are the same as the esp8266 nothing happens. I have not inspected the differences between fs.h and FS.h but I expect the latter for the ESP32 to be almost identical. On one of ESP8266 loggers the file size reports on screen that it is over 6MB but there is only 3MB allocated so there is something wrong with the filing system. I’ll investigate some more.

thanks for letting me know your trial results. may be issue is something else and not SPIFFS related, it could be that some other parameter and my change of sketch both coincided .... before failure. i have now big suspicion that something related to my battery power might have done damage to it. i had used 18650 battery to run it over night.... if you go to my first githup post, i had some communication there, apparently arduino IDE sets some different memory allocation. may be that is the cause of your memory capacity difference.

github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/263 this post of mine and subsequent communication with people might be of your interest :)

You should try simulating a client and make sure the data is received, you get confirmation on the serial port that the data was received. Then the log should show up.

If your using the ESP8266 you will find the latest compiler build 2.5.0 does not work for many network functions, the last good build was 2.4.2

Did you download it, place in the same folder as the sketch? Edit the content to match your information

@@G6EJD i have added the credentials.h file, but it say every time same error :(

Have you enabled SPIFFS when you set the compiler options?

@@G6EJD thank you, sir, I have enabled SPIFFS and got the result

It not really possible with an UNO as you need to take a sample every 20uS and then store it to SD-Card and then get back to take the next reading. Then displaying in real-time from a web server is not possible at that speed, sorry. It's a very ambitious project unless your programming and technical skills are of a very high order.

@@G6EJD no sir,i have already done it,the data logging is perfectly operational..U can just check the example given in sdfat and just change the sampling frequency to 50kHz..At present i am working on sound,therefore the i kept the frequency to 45kHz,but it acts perfectly on 50kHz.

@@G6EJD my doubt is in the 2nd part..Real time data display on webserver using nodemcu from sd card

Not and run a web server too

You can yes, but for some reason Google are bulking at the HTML headers, styles, body, footers, etc. It used to work OK with an ESP8266, If I drop all the HTML and just upload the scripts and data it works a little better. No data is hard coded in the programme. All the data for the webserver has to be issued in one page and I suspect I have reached the 16,384 String character limit with datasets more than 72 which of course is formed by lots of text like ['nnn','oo.o','pp.p'] for each point. I think 72 points is more than adequate for a temperature/humidity data logger.

Yes just change the WiFi mode to station ((STA) and set your own IP address if required, there are plenty of examples on how to do this, so just one line to change WiFi.begin(STA)

@@G6EJD thanks for answering David. i did WiFi part but it seems internet connection is needed because of google charts is there a easy way around it?

Well the DHT11 series of sensor whilst they look like they can be mounted outside in contact with the atmosphere, can't in fact there are few if any that can, the problem is with condensing water vapour. Some of the SHT3x series (30, 31 or 35) can be used outside, but only when fitted with a special micron permeable shield see my BME680 video to see what that looks like, or you can buy a DHT11 inside a special sintered / spheroidal bronze permeable housing so that it can come into contact with humidity but only a very fine vapour, when not fitted, water forms on the detection plates and it stops working, sometimes restarts when it's dried up. See here for an example: www.aliexpress.com/item/Soil-temperature-and-humidity-sensor-SHT10-agricultural-greenhouse-sheds-nursery-send-routine-new/32766408137.html?spm=2114.search0104.8.79.518f40f5sstLpr&priceBeautifyAB=0

So to expand on the enclosure in which this sensor is mounted, it is inside a wood box with a cover there are holes drilled at about a 45-degree angle to allow air to flow and to prevent water from entering the enclosure. But moisture can possibly get in and form dew on the parts and this is the possible culprit. If this is the case then it will be time to switch out to a more of an outdoor sensor. Off I go to review the sensor on your link. Thank You.

Why not try the sensor indoors over night or for more time ideally. Yes although the wholes won't let water in, the high humidity levels will condense on the sensor and cause it to react like it has.

Fully agree and at this time I have one sitting on my desktop and the other sitting outside only the one outside has shown temperature errors. I am in full agreement with you I need an outdoor tolerant sensor. Will need to find one for which your code will accommodate the sensor selected. The thought came to mind concerning how these manufacturers are protecting the sensor without blocking its intended purpose. Maybe this could be duplicated with the dht11?

Yes, just change the WiFi mode to AP it is widely discussed, it’s a single line command.

@@G6EJD After change wifi mode graph & dial are not showing, other functions work properly.

Use the address it prints out in the serial port diagostics. It's adding records so it's running. You've got the address wrong.

Thank you for being so helpful the sketch is now running and I learned you can store password and ssid in a separate file. My C++ coding is non-existent and just started learning Python3 but can't seem to find IOTs running as commonly as C++. Well out of the box python3.

Fifury161, well I’m used to delivery at a pace that enables learning and knowledge transfer to take place, clearly not fast enough for some, but then that will always be the case, for some too fast, for others too slow!

@@G6EJD Indeed - you can't please all of the people all of the time! Thank you for taking the time to reply.
