It’s a bit off topic but since many users will be interested in it (including myself), it’s good to refer to the project.
The current GitHub page is still very limited. It doesn’t show what can be controlled and how the hardware addition should be installed. Do I understand correctly it is soldered on somewhere?
If the documentation is clear, I’ll link to it in the top post.
Yes agree. I just dumped what I did into the GitHub. There is work in making the board, but I picked components that are suitable for hand soldering. Once the board is made and programmed, it slips onto the zappi pins. No soldering required. The pins just need to be extended, which is easy to do. Let me work on the documentation in the next while.
@V4n1X@Nevvyn I have updated a lot, rewrite all of the code and remake of the board to make its simpler. It’s designed for hand soldering. Let me know if you need more information easy to miss information.
Tempting but I just needed to solve my own issues with loosing control of my Zappi if the internet drops and the position MyEnergi have taken on local control. Sharing it so others can copy it and make it better .
I hope I can figure out a way to let the PCB + assembly of the required parts be produced from JLCPCB or PCBWAY, so I can just order the final product there, without any soldering and ordering all the single parts.
I did a check of the main components, ESP, ADP3338, TCMT4100 & HLE-110-02-L-DV-BE-K-TR, they can all be gotten in JLC. HLE-110-02-L-DV-BE-K-TR is the most difficult, as you need to pre-order them.
I would expect 0.0.30 is offered as an update by hacs (as long as the update entity is not disabled.
Redownloading via hacs should also work to update without the need to remove the previous version.
