Hello,
I have a NodeMCU-32S board hooked up to an Arduino Mega via a Paladin Solar Diverter board. (see Solar Power Diverter & Controller - Paladin Solar Controller for more information.)
On the NodeMCU-32S board, I have connected the 2 boards as follows.
GPIO1 for TX0 to Arduino RX
GPIO3 for RX0 to Arduino TX
When I run the IDE (works with either Arduino IDE or vscode + platformio) serial monitor to (COM3) via USB cable direct to the NodeMCU-32S board, I can see the expected comma seperated value output being provided from the Arduino when I press A on the keyboard for example. This is all fine so far as working as expected.
VSCode + https://platformio.org/
Arduino IDE
Where I need help is, once I install Esphome onto the NodeMCU-32S board, I was expecting to see the same output of what I see in Serial Monitor in the ESPHome logs.
Is my expectation incorrect?
Here is my ESPHome YAML
logger:
baud_rate: 0
uart:
id: uart_bus
tx_pin: GPIO1
rx_pin: GPIO3
baud_rate: 57600
debug:
direction: BOTH
dummy_receiver: true
interval:
- interval: 10s
then:
- uart.write: 'A'
and here is the ESPHome log output I get showing only A being sent in HEX with no reply.
[04:57:04][D][api.connection:1031]: Home Assistant 2023.10.1 (192.168.1.205): Connected successfully
[04:57:06][D][uart_debug:114]: >>> 41
[04:57:16][D][uart_debug:114]: >>> 41
Interestingly, when I reverse the connectors (U0TXD = GPIO3 and U0RXD = GPIO1),
I get a response in the ESPHome log,
however it is in HEX rather than CSV.
[05:06:18][D][uart_debug:114]: >>> 41
[05:06:18][D][uart_debug:114]: <<< 32:2E:39:36:2C:30:2E:30:30:2C:30:2E:30:30:2C:2D:31:32:37:2E:30:30:2C:2D:31:36:37:2E:30:30:2C:32:30:37:2C:37:33:2C:20:4E:41:4E:2C:32:2E:36:30:2C:30:2E:30:30:2C:20:4E:41:4E:2C:30:2E:30:30:2C:31:36:37:2C:30:2C:30:2C:30:2C:30:2C:30:2C:30:2C:39:32:39:0D:0A
It would seem that all of the debug is in HEX
| Character | Hex | Decimal |
|---|---|---|
| A | 41 | 65 |
