Visuino is updated to support the new ESP32 3.0 platform!

Few days ago Espressif released new version of the ESP32 Arduino platform 3.0.

Unfortunately the 3.0 version has a large number of breaking changes, and was not compatible with the Visuino generated code :-( .
This sent me scrambling to update Visuino to the new version, and today finally I was able to make a release fixing this :-).

Here is a video showing how to upgrade the ESP32 platform to 3.0.X:

Please note that while Visuino mostly uses its own libraries, there are couple of exceptions. As example it uses the IRremote library to work with Infrared Remote transmitters.

Sadly ESP32 3.0 does not support the Hall Sensor any more, so I was forced to also remove the support for it :-( . Trust me, I tried all I could to find any way to support it, but since there was no source for the support on low level, that I was able to find, I had to give up :-( .

ESP32 3.0 also changes the default partitions for the boards. You may need to change the partition if you are building a big project!

Here is a video showing how to change the ESP32 Partition:

Currently the IRremote library is not yet ESP32 3.0.X compatible. Hopefully it will be updated in the coming days, but at present there are problems when using Infrared Remote devices with ESP32 :-( .

Please Enjoy! :-)

Just received 8 cool modules from my good friends at M5Stack for the Visuino development!

Today I received another great surprise!

My good friends at M5Stack sent me some more Grove System modules and M5StickC Hats:

• Dual Button Module
• PIR Motion Sensor
• I2C Joystick Unit
• I/O Hub 1 to 6 Expansion Unit
• M5StickC ENV Hat
• M5StickC Yun Hat

All these great modules were donated for the Visuino development :-)

Here are some pictures from the unboxing:

All the modules in the box


The sensors:


And the M5StickC Yun Hat:

As you can see from the pictures the modules are of very fine quality, and I can assure you that they look really great!

I have already added in Visuino the modules that I received from M5Stack few weeks ago.

I have already started work on the newly arrived modules, adding support for them in Visuino, and plan to post videos of the controllers, and some tutorials on how to program them with Visuino.

Cheer,

Visuino support for the ESP32 based M5 Stack core - First Test

After few days of digging through code, schematics, and specifications, I finally have the Visuino support for the ESP32 Basic Core , and made the first test project:

Here is the programmed Core:

I also recorded a first look video and you can see it here:

I am working to add support for the rest of the modules, and will be posting the progress so stay tuned.
I also hope to have a new Visuino release later this week if all goes well... It will include the new modules, a lot of fixes, and new features that I added last week.

Cheer,

Just received 2 really cool ESP-32 based cores and sensors for them from my good friends at M5Stack for the Visuino development!

Today I received another great surprise!

My good friends at M5Stack sent me one ESP32 Basic Core IoT Development Kit, one M5StickC ESP32-PICO Mini IoT Development Kit, one ENV Unit with Temperature Humidity Pressure Sensor (DHT12+BMP280), one 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer Unit (ADXL345), one ADC I2C Unit (ADS1100), and one Color Sensor RGB Unit (TCS3472).

All these great modules were donated for the Visuino development :-)

Here are some pictures from the unboxing:

And the sensors:

As you can see from the pictures the modules are of very fine quality, and I can assure you that they look really great!

I am in the final stages of preparing Visuino for a release after months of work on the new design. There will be a lot of exciting announcements, and surprises in the coming few days, so stay tuned!

As soon as the release is out, I will start work on the newly arrived modules, adding support for them in Visuino, and plan to post videos of the controllers, and some tutorials on how to program them with Visuino.

Merry Christmas everyone! Here is what I have added to Visuino for Christmas! :-)

Merry Christmas everyone! :-)

Here is what I just added to Visuino for Christmas:

Few of weeks ago, the great folks at MakerHawk-US sent me this cool ESP-32F Development Board with 1.44inch TFT LCD Screen KIT for the Visuino development :-)

I have already mapped the board in Visuino and plan to have release with the support in the next few days:

And will start posting tutorials for it soon :-)

Cheer,

Knock, knock... Visuino:Who's there?... ESP32... :-)

Just received a great surprise from Espressif ! One of their ESP32 evaluation board :-)

The support for it in Visuino is to be expected soon :-)
