AWTRIX and ESP32

Open flexisss opened this issue 2 months ago • 4 comments

Good day! I encountered the following problem when trying to run AW

Image

ATRIX 0.98 on the ESP32. I flashed the firmware and added a dev.json to correctly detect the screen (8x64). When I turn it on again, the firmware starts, then the message "AP MODE" appears, and after a while, the message "RESET" appears. After that, the firmware restarts without the screen settings file. Can you tell me what to do?

Awtrix only supports 32x8. There is no option in the dev.json for modifying that. What did you enter?

I connected to the ESP 32, added the dev.json file, and entered "matrix": "2" (from the FAQ). After rebooting, the message "AVTRIX 0.98" appeared, then "UP MODE," and then "RESET." After that, the board rebooted, and after booting, the screen no longer showed messages, but simply a multicolored snow of pixels.

Do you have any buttons connected? GPIO 13 is a reset button. multicolored snow of pixels sounds more like an hardware issue.

Nothing else is connected except the screen. The same colored snow appears if you don't specify the "matrix" parameter: "2" in the dev.json file.
