Teddycloud ESP32 newbie documentation *deprecated*

Very helpful, lots of details and still a lot to understand :stuck_out_tongue: . Especially with all the changes. Do I understand correctly that all the UART modules may soon no longer be needed when the ESP32 is in use? So at least as soon as the Teddycloud gets the certificates right?

And if so, is there a foreseeable time frame? I am considering buying the materials for flashing. But if it works without, that would of course be brilliant.

Thanks and have a lovely weekend.

no, uart is still necessary.

and the esp32 flash progress already works completely with the web gui. but sometimes there are some unknown reasons why flashing fails in web gui and you have to do it in the legacy way.

Okay, then I must have overlooked / not fully understood something.
Iā€™ll work through it again and (Iā€™m pretty sure) come back with some questions.
Thanks @henryk

I have another question about flashing (ESP32 box): At the beginning of the Read ESP32 it always works well, but then the system stops at some point. First it was at around 34%, now at 64.88%, 58.24%, e.g. And then at some point there is a timeout error. Any idea why this happens?

Thanks!

(running on a Raspberry PI, Docker, Chromium, UART to 3.3)

Most times this happens due a bad connection to the board. Double check wiring/clamp.

Thanks. But if the wiring is wrong, does it start to read?
Cause I checked multiple times - and I even changed the TxD and RxD just to be sure that I didnā€™t make a mistake. But will check the clamp / wiring again tonight.

Then try the legacy way

Then try the legacy way
unfortunately Iā€™m stuck right now

Iā€˜m having a weird problem: When downloading the dump via browser or via esptool. The connction times out randomly during the dump. I already replaced/resoldered the UART wires and replaced the UART/USB Adapter with a second brand. Serial monitor connects without any problem.

Same here ā€¦ Using a Raspberry PI. And it stops in between at random numbers.
Tried to use screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 , but only get ā€œgibberishā€. Checked the wiring 10 times. Checked the clamp position 10 times.

Do I have to install a driver for the UART ?
Wanted to try to read the UART signal on a mac but I am stuck too. :crazy_face:

If I try to set up the teddycloud on a windows machine (and if it works than), how can I transfer the whole thing to the PI later on?

Hi, try the develop version of the new webgui. There you can select now other baudrates than the default one. One guy in the telegram with similar problems group was successful with the value 230400.

Hi everyone,

Iā€™ve got everything set up and working perfectlyā€”itā€™s awesome! :blush: However, Iā€™m encountering an issue for which I havenā€™t found a solution in the forums or the documentation:

Occasionally, weā€™re in different locations, and Iā€™d like to connect the box to my mobile hotspot so it can access Teddy-Cloud (via VPN). Is there a way to change the Wi-Fi network the box is connected to without going through the initial setup process again?

I changed the Cloud to develop (changed it in the yaml file).
But on the Add Toniebox Screen I canā€™t select the baudrate. Where should I find that?

Update: Top right corner right on the ā€œESP32 BOX Flashingā€ Screenā€¦ was just blind.

Thanks

Udpate 2: Changed the baudrate to 230400 and voila, it worked without any problems. Amazing! Thank you so much for solving this puzzle Iā€™ve been struggling with for almost a week. Now I only have to figure out how to connect the box to the cloud (cloud does not detect the box).
