Re: USB question - ESP32 S3 Serial with Python

Fixed it

I don't think I can be the only person with these USB problems, but lack of any responses on this and a prior post has me thinking that. I guess there just aren't many S3 users out there.


Anyway, just in case there are other users having USB Boot issues, setRTS and DTS to false as ...

USB question - ESP32 S3 Serial with Python

ESP32- with the S3 Chipset
4.3" Cheap Yellow Display model JC4827W543

I am trying to send my CPU temperature to this ESP32 to display to the LCD. But the ESP32 reboots and stays off when using Python. I am using the serial module for Python and plugged into my USB on my PC. Prior to connecting ...

USB Boot Button Issues with Windows 11

I never once had to hold the boot button in Windows 10 to upload code - except perhaps maybe for the first initial upload. But in Windows 11, I cannot get my ESP32's to upload code without holding the boot button first. Why won't it auto detect and send to download mode like it did in windows 10? I ...

Re: Continuous Servo with Esp32

I don't know either, I had to set my resolution set to 14 to get app. 2000 usable positions. Im not sure what the library is set to, I took a quick peek at it, but that was about it.

Edit: 650 positions, not 2000. :? And I'm glad to be in compliance, I definitely want those DMCA guys after me

Re: Continuous Servo with Esp32

Thank you for the help, I now have complete control of the continuous servo speed, and even my standard positional servos are playing very nicely.

Everything seems to be working perfectly receiving all messages from espnow without any servo libraries using LEDC. It's also very nice bonus to easily ...

Re: Continuous Servo with Esp32


You are required by international law to use a hardware peripheral to control servo motors. - Or I might have made that up just now, who knows.

It's just PWM.
Use the LEDC , or the MCPWM, or maybe even the RMT peripheral if you have to, but please, for everything that's holy to you, don't try to ...

Re: Continuous Servo with Esp32

Update: Just an issue with the library, I have started writing my own code and it doesn't seem that difficult so far, I am already getting much better results

Quick question, is delay microseconds needed for servo pulse time, or can go without a true delay (like the "blink without delay" example ...

Re: Continuous Servo with Esp32

I have confirmed the issue is not with the servo itself.

Its been over a year since I last delved into these servos, but I don't recall having these issues back then. This was during ESP32 board version 2.xx, before 3.0 and all of the changes. I think I would have noticed, because I noticed it ...

Re: Continuous Servo with Esp32

Ya, after I posted I thought about it and that may make sense. I can try it, but with a 7:1 gear ratio at full speed it's already pretty slow.

I will try my Servo Maestro servo controller this weekend or tonight, if the speed is more proportional then I know the error is coming from the ESP32 code ...

Re: Continuous Servo with Esp32

I can program it slower, but it's the speed changes at every 20 increments that I would like to see if I can smooth out more proportionally, and I think I need higher resolution.

It's like it is mapping my speeds to certain increments based on 256:2000 mapping instead of 2000:2000 mapping.

I ...
