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.
- Many small improvements in the code.

Jean-Pierre Cocatrix • 01/17/2017 at 20:38 • 0 comments

Many pcb projects are in progress to run KaraDio.
Dimitris works on a pcb with esp8266, the external ram and the vs1053 with the complete set of option by juumper (a0 and type of ram).
I hope he can sell it soon (with mounted components).

discover1977 has made a pcb not yet finished, but with the full hardware including the lcd and more.
See his project at https://github.com/discover1977/Wi-Fi-WEB-radio

Christophe has made a minimalist pcb to be used with KaraDio, but can be used in many other projects. The lc soft vs1053 can be plugged directly on the pbc.
About the double AP in setting
Jean-Pierre Cocatrix • 01/10/2017 at 11:00 • 0 comments

A quick note about the AP configurations in setting:
As you may noticed, now in 1.1.4 release you can specify two AP.
When the first one is not found, the second one is tried. If not found, karadio is set in SoftAP mode at 192.168.4.1
Only the AP fields can be configured, not the ip, mask and gateway.
If you need to have two AP, the best choice is to use the dhcp. But the ip may be difficult to predict, so i recommend to configure a static lease on your router to force dhcp to choose your preferred ip. To do that, I added the mac address of the esp. See the manual of your router about dhcp static lease.
If you need some other details, write a comment.
Thanks for your attention.

Once the serial output interface has proved the feasibility, it is time to test the input serial interface of command.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

ldv82 wrote 05/30/2017 at 13:44

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

I am not an expert on DAC. All I know is:

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.

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.
