KaRadio32 Release 1.9


KaRadio32:

Release 1.9 Rev4 - Built on 2019/04/28

New:

  • 1.9 R4:
    • wifi.auto command now disable the AP mode if already connected to an AP in the past.
    • I2S corrected for 32bit output stream. Thanks to har-in-air github user.
    • Instant play: new button "Add/Edit", and update fields on cli commands.
  • 1.9 R3:
    • blank password accepted.
    • New lcd types: LCD_I2C_ST7567, LCD_SPI_ST7567_pi , LCD_SPI_ST7567, LCD_SPI_ST7565_NHD_C12864
    • New nvs_partition_generator.sh and nvs_partition_gen.py: comment line # comment, now permitted.
    • cli.list correction.
    • Minor corrections.
  • 1.9 R2:
    • New option for the active level of buttons.
    • Little bug removed on color lcd.
    • Telnet disabled in AP mode.
    • Key Ctrl space, Ctrl left, ctrl right, ctrl top, ctrl bottom on web page for control.
  • 1.9 R1:
    • Labels in the csv hardware configuration.
    • Toggle main/time now permanent. On time display, an event go to the main screen for 3 seconds then return to time screen.
    • More reactive display on lcd.
  • 1.9 R0:
    • Improved encoder for new chinese device (shorter pulses) (reverse A/B in case of reverse way)
    • Better vs1053 detection.
    • No more fall back to i2s when the vs1053 is not detected.
    • RSSI display needed a click of a button to start.
    • AP mode on init: the web page starts on the "Setting" panel and the stations list is skipped.
    • Wifi option: If wifi is disconnected choose to reset or wait for the connection on the same SSID:
    • Command wifi.auto("x") with x = 0: reboot, x=1: wait for the SSID
    • For internal reasons, the touch screen needs to be calibrated again.

Hello JeanPierre, first of all ,thanks for the beautiful project.

I've built one (KaRadio-32 with integrated addons) and an LCD ILI9341 194 // 240x320

Everything working fine but the image is shifted to right by abt 20 pixels,any possibility of fixing it ?

Thanks

Mauro

Look at the lcd switched off. You will see that it is the lcd itself with a black array on left.

Hello Jean-Pierre, thank you very much for your wonderfull project. I have some problem with lcd display ( ili9341) initialization . I can see just:

Karadio

(c) Karawin

IR+clcd V1.1

IP:

and nothing more. I use arduino pro mini + lcd ili 9341 + karadioUCglib. Uart speed 28800 same on arduino and esp 12f. (ucglibConf: Ucglib_ILI9341_18x240x320_SWSPI ucg(/*sclk=*/ 7, /*data=*/ 6, /*cd=*/ 5 , /*cs=*/ 3, /*reset=*/ 4); ) All worked on 5110 lcd. but i haven't it now. Can you help please? 

ps: sorry for my english =-)

Probably a problem of uart if nothing seems received. I don't have a prototype to test it.

Hello, for quality sound it is important to know the level of wi-fi signal. Is there a possibility to bring the level indicator wi-fi access the management page of Karadio.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Jean-Pierre Cocatrix wrote 11/01/2017 at 18:05 • point

I tried some time ago, but it broke somethings. I agree that it is a good feature. I will try again.

Done in 1.6.2

Many thanks for your promptness. Updated to 1.6.2, the wi-fi indicator is working.

Hi JP, i have a big problem. After upgrading from 1.1.7 to 1.6 I have no sound anymore. The slider for loudness goes from minus 127 to 0. Is there a change from a variable to a signed type? I tried to enable the patch as well but no success. Any further Idea what to try?

Thanks a lot and have a nice Sunday

Thomas

  Are you sure? yes | no

Jean-Pierre Cocatrix wrote 09/03/2017 at 13:04 • point

It seems that your vs1053 doesn't like the vs patch. To disable it on the uart interface or with telnet type the command
sys.patch("0")
and reset the esp8266<

The slider in db is from -127db to 0db

  Are you sure? yes | no

Jean-Pierre Cocatrix wrote 09/03/2017 at 13:11 • point

Or may be another problem on wire because it is the only cause i can imagine. See the log on the serial at the beginning to see if the vs is well detected.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Thomas wrote 09/11/2017 at 06:55 • point

Hi JP, it seems to be a defect in Flash memory.

I tried several things. A reflash ended in a blinking Pattern twice a second and no serial output. So i assume the flash is dead. I replaced the ESP8266 board and now it runs good again.

Hi,I like your projekt very much.
Now i have a little problem with the OLED Display.
Sometimes it loses connection to ESP and the Text  becomes  static.
I use a Wemos D1 mini and the Arduino ATmega 328 mini pro 8Mhz 3.3V to
drive the OLED. I also use IR and the Switches.
When i set the uart speed again (sys.uart("28800") it works
for some time, only the displayed Ip at startup is then 0.0.0.0 But Sound is ok and the "real" IP is also reachable with the Browser.
I work with Version 1.6 and i believe it worked better with 1.4 in my Case. Any Ideas?

from the arduino? I don't have an arduino on this project apart the addon for lcd and controls. Anyway, to send a reboot on the serial, the command is
sys.boot

ernie 881 wrote 06/09/2017 at 14:59 • point

I personally think that the red VS1053B modules e. g. http://www.ebay.de/itm/VS1053-MP3-Module-with-SD-card-slot-VS1053B-Ogg-real-time-recording-for-Arduino-/272508590908?hash=item3f72c71b3c:g:1ogAAOSwUKxYa5fD are much better than the blue ones labeled "lcsoft studio" or "lc technology". These were or damaged at arrival or dead after a few hours and don't have pin 34 pulled down (mp3 enabled at startup see http://www.bajdi.com/lcsoft-vs1053-mp3-module/ ).

  Are you sure? yes | no

Jean-Pierre Cocatrix wrote 06/13/2017 at 20:19 • point

I own all models lcsoft, red one and alientek (more complete than other) and all play for month now without problem.

The pin 34 is not a problem with the software patch.

  Are you sure? yes | no

ldv82 wrote 05/30/2017 at 13:44 • point

Most likely, this depends on the compatibility of VS1053 and DAC. You will use an external DAC instead of the built-in VS1053.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Jean-Pierre Cocatrix wrote 05/30/2017 at 16:37 • point

I am not an expert on DAC. All I know is:
##I2S speed: 0, 0=48kHz, 1=96kHz, 2=192kHz#
from the vs1053.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi. Could you implement so called "radio buttons" to select preset stations?

  Are you sure? yes | no

aqvarius-sey wrote 05/18/2017 at 14:57 • point

on version 1.1.5 strange problem. if you have installed memory and increase the volume of the radio goes silent. only a reboot helps. if the memory is to retrieve all works. checked all the connection is correct.

  Are you sure? yes | no

aqvarius-sey wrote 05/18/2017 at 10:05 • point

hi! in the beginning I want to say thank you for a great project! I have a question to the Creator. updated from version 1.1.5 to 1.2.1. buttons connected to an analog input. problems: 1. when adjusting the volume there is no smooth adjustment while holding the button. 2. when you press short the volume randomly changes (jumps from low to high and back). in version 1.1.5 often, she cleared the EEPROM in the esp8266, you need to re-set the network settings, and list of stations.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hey,

I’ve got a similar problem, sometimes stops the VS Coding and needs a reset. The NodeMCU and Website keep working well, but the speaker didn’t get a signal from the decoder. It seems to happen randomly, sometimes after 20min and othertimes the systems run over hours perfectly.


I use an NodeMCU connected to an Arduino (for the OLED and a FM transmitter), buttons and such an VS1053: http://www.ebay.de/itm/VS1053-MP3-Module-Development-Board-w-On-Board-Recording-Function-SPI-Interface-/291596880495?hash=item43e4874a6f:g:gm4AAOSwEK9Tw2qE

It could be a pointer issue of the VS, when I stream from my Shoutcast-Server with 320kbps stereo it feels like the problem comes earlier as if I stream with 98kbps mono signal.

Hi, i've got an issue. I flashed the esp8266 with the esptool like this:

esptool.py write_flash 0x000 boot_v1.6.bin 0x01000 user1.4096.new.4.bin
0x81000 user2.4096.new.4.bin 0x7e000 blank.bin 0x3fe000 blank.bin
0xfc000 esp_init_data_default.bin 0x3fc000 esp_init_data_default.bin

and it seemed to work. i can connect to the AP but when i fill in the SSID ans password an then click validate nothing happens, after a reset its still in ap mode....

Hi, is it possible to add IR-Remote alone, without a display? and i would like it to just run on the esp8266 NodeMCU, without an arduino, as I'm trying to run on a minimum setup with basic user controls. Love all the effort and time you've put into this! Thank you.

no, not without arduino mini pro. But you can have IR remote without display. Just don't add it.
