New Device Alpha 1.1.33

Development Alpha Testers

Hi all!

Device 1.1.33 Alpha is available in our GitHub.

Change summary:

… a whole lot more little bugs!

btw - mc’s idea here of using a new post is way better than the huge unwieldy one-big-thread for all alpha releases.

In the future we’ll do single posts like this for each new alpha release. If you think you might want to try running an alpha-test build please read this warning/request first. I’ve just created an “Alpha testers” category on the forum for this purpose.

If you find problems with particular builds please reply in the appropriate thread.

Hi I have just updated two tbeams to 1.1.33 - both T22_V1.1 20191212. I used device.install.sh rather than esptool. I have replaced the inboard gps antennas with a STOTEN antenna from AliExpress, (TOPGNSS store).
I have used python api to make some changes to the defaults for position broadcast (now 30 sec), gps update (now 30 sec) and wait_bluetooth (28800). My idea is that for hiking I need to know positions all the time.
As anyone seen this: on the screen I get signal 0% for both units. I cannot say this is definitely related to 1.1.33!

I just tried upgrading one of my new bulk order (30) ttgo T-Beams Lora32 915Mhz from 1.1.0 from them to 1.1.33 using upgrade.sh and now it won’t power on. Here is the error I got then I tried again:

It powered off and I can’t get it to turn on. Tried taking battery out, unplugging usb, plugging it back in, holding power for 10 sec, trying different combos of holding buttons down. It won’t come on. Any ideas?

Ok, update to that… that was fun! so I figured I might as well try the device-install.sh instead, blind… since no lights and no signs of life, I mean who knows, right? here’s what happended:

I think the problem originally was that you flashed the wrong load. You flashed “tlora-v1” - which is not for a tbeam :wink:

I see that… oops!
Now that I’ve flashed 9 radios, I’ve found that 4 of them couldn’t go straight from 1.0.0 to 1.0.33 and I had to go to 1.0.32 first and then 1.0.33. Here’s a long screenshot to show some of my upgrades and failures:

I tried compiling the source code for the first time yesterday, and downloading to tbeam with M8N GPS, and tried the web server for the first time. I’m on a windows PC, so I don’t think I can use the shell script to upload the web page. I found out that the 3 web page files can be downloaded off of GitHub releases, then uploaded to http://ip_address/static . I did that, but the web page was buggy, and my T-Beam kept rebooting. I thought maybe I git downloaded the source at the wrong time, and went back to the official 1.1.33 release (for the first time). The web page upload function wasn’t working and all of my uploaded files were 0 bytes on the /static page with the official 1.1.33. Since that wasn’t an issue with the source code version, I figured that that was a bug that has already been fixed.

9

When you go to /static, what does it say for Free Space? We heard that esphome flasher doesn’t set the filesystem partitions properly.

We abort uploads if there is less than 50k free space.

I had this same issue a week or so ago. As @mc-hamster mentioned already, issue is with your partition scheme not being set properly. There is not enough room to install needed files.

I resolved this by using Git Bash terminal (on Windows) to flash firmware using device-install.sh method. When you install Git, Git Bash comes with it. For some reason using ESPHome-flasher GUI does not install the same way.
You can also use Linux machine and install from terminal using device-install.sh method. This is what I did before I was told about Git Bash.

Link to post documenting this same issue:
https://meshtastic.discourse.group/t/solved-help-installing-with-other-than-esphome-flasher/2214

Hope this helps.

Oh, after installing GitHub and PlatformIO, the install scripts became exicutable in Windows 10 command line:
C:\Users\User\Downloads\firmware-1.1.33>.\device-install.sh -f firmware-tbeam-US-1.1.33.bin
Wow, there are a lot more settings than I knew about. Is there wiki on all of the settings?:

MeshtasticSettings

I tried to get my tbeam to join my home wifi network, but it didn’t work whether AP mode was true or false. It just seemed to override and replace my home wifi network. There was a join wifi button, but it listed the available wifi networks without having an ability to click on one to connect to it.

Does this mean I’m illegally using 15% air time, instead of 1%? I guess GPS broadcast seconds 60 is too much for very long range but slow:

AirTime
AirTime1920×1080 57.6 KB

I still have message sending issues from cell phone to cell phone, but the GPS tracking appears to be working.

13

You bring up a good point, there should be a reference for the configuration settings. The best place for that information is in the RadioConfig area of the mesh.proto file:

If you set ap mode to false, it won’t replace your home wifi.

The web interface is not completely ready for prime time, so not everything in there works.

For the air time usage, you’re using the US firmware so I’ll assume you’re in the US. Provided you stay within the power limits, my non-lawyer read is there’s no duty cycle limits in the US, so you should be fine.

There shouldn’t be too many real world uses for very long range but slow. Totally safe to turn it down a notch or two.
