You: There are problems and I know how to fix them. You: The documentation looks good but it's wrong. Also you: There's a problem with a "Free to Use pins" for PoE compared with the documentation but I'm absolutely not going to tell you what the problem pin is or how to fix it.
Hi, I wanted to use the 3d file to get PCBway to print the mounts for me to use but they're in Fusion 360 (.f3d) format and PCBway don't accept those. Is there any way of providing the STL in a format that they will accept? Many thanks
Hello, I am really interested in this board. Do you think I can use the POE to power a camera? I need to send 7.5V and 2A to the camera. Any idea how I could do that? Thank you.
This board, which I have just discovered, seem to be exactly what I need, provided that: 1. I can add a battery, and the ability to charge said battery, when powered via PoE. 2. The ability to control a single 240v relay. Presumably this is not an issue. 3. The ability to use it as an actual internet connected WAP. I don't see why this should not be possible, but it may not be. 4. the ability to connect a proper antenna, preferably more. I've seen versions of this board with a single antenna, but not tow or three. Lastly, and not really a necessity in regards to this specific board, but ideally, a readymade board, including relay. Also, POE is really not a necessity, in fact if would be a convenience to have it mains powered, though I suspect it will be less power efficient, when in deep sleep, not the ESP32 itself, but the whole package, of course, as opposed to battery power. I also think that the price is a bit... spicy, but it'll do, if nothing better is available. Any recommendations?
I wind up buying these boards in bulk and I think they come out to about $20 each so that helps with the pricing. If you're not using the POE part and want an antenna, this probably isn't the right board... I've never used the battery portions of it either. It definitely wouldn't have a problem with the WAP and the relay.
Thank you for the answer. It think this board pretty much does what I need, only I have to do it the right way, and not the easy way. I'll have to think it over.
Hello, how do you deal with displaying text on this display board standard LiquidCrystal driver causes an error in displaying the text, it does not erase the previously entered text and garbage is left on the screen
One Other Question I was just curious about, Did you setup the Proto Shield to have that Pinout for the I2C Bus so it would work with the NCD I2C Modules? I noticed the pinout was perfect for soldering their 4 wire Molex connector, thus making this a Master Device for their i2c Sensor series.
Thanks for this video :) Do you happen to have a list of "free to use" pins that aren't actually free to use? Don't have such a module yet, looking for info about this first.
I don't off the top of my head. I have just learned that any other pin that seems to be connected to POE or anything like that, I just don't use it if at all possible
thank you for your tutorials and all your effort it helps a lot of us . just im using that device for indistruel usage and im trying to use TASMOTA as firmware but right now it not very reliable any recommendations ?
Are you using it over Wi-Fi or ethernet? By the way, UA-camrs do not see replies to comments so you should just respond by creating a new comment and not replying to this one because otherwise I won't see it
Hi, Nice tips and design, I just wonder if it isnt possible to rotate the board 45 degrees and have the extra pinouts on the back? So it uses more the slimline of the device itself.
Thanks for watching. I'm sure it is. The funny thing is that I'm usually replacing some giant controller with these. so normally this thing winds up taking up 10% of the space whatever I'm replacing does. But you're definitely right. that would be more efficient.
Do you have a video as a Code Walk to using your sketch? I barely know enough about Programming to make sense of the code, but I've never used OTA updates before. I'd like to implement that with an MQTT Client to change how to Pub and Sub Events on the board.
I don't for this sketch. I do have the code but I haven't done a walk through on it. A lot of it is very standard ESP 32 stuff so pretty much anything dealing with Arduino or SP32 will be helpful
@@AnotherMaker The big thing I've been spinning my wheels on is I want to use MQTT with a TLS connection with Hive MQ, and I'm having a hard time wrapping around developing for the ESP32-PoE-ISO in Visual Studio Code. I've got snippets of parts of these tutorials together, but I'm having trouble putting it all together. Part of it I think is just trying to wrap my head around all the different functions needed to pull this off.
@@AnotherMaker aww that's a real shame. I was hoping I'd finally solved all my hopes and dreams with the ESP32-PoE. I love using PoE for gadgets to send Data, and was looking for a microprocessor I could develop to handle getting MQTT Messages from the edge. I'll keep working on prototyping with this board then, maybe someone will develop a relatively easy to use library for MQTT TLS at least.
PCBway is the one having their anniversary but you are the one giving us the gifts! Thank you for the platform for prototyping and fixes
That's so kind of you. I'm glad you found it helpful.
Happy Friday!!! Great content as always, thanks for sharing.
Thank you. And thank you so much for watching!
Nicely done with the protoshields that you designed.
Thank you sir!

Btw! New board revision "K" includes mounting holes!!!
That's great news!!!
Oh, sounds good. Do you have a link to those? I don't see them yet on the Olimex website.
You should check out the wesp32. It is better in every way. More free pins, more power from the POE output (12v or 5v), mounting holes, etc.
I'll check it out. I did hear that the latest revisions of this board also have mounting holes now
but it's more expensive

7:30 maybe connect reset pin on device so it doea not power on until voltage stabilize?
I don't know if it supports that... But nice hint 🙏
Where do you get those colored male pins from?
I ordered those boards as well, and mine have 3 mounting holes

I use liquidcrystal_i2c and that bus to do my screens on those

I didn't specifically. I set it up for the cheap 16x2 LCDs screens but it could be used for pretty much anything

Thanks for sharing the PCB! Would this be compatible with the regular ESP32-PoE from Olimex (non-ISO version?)
I believe the pinouts are the same on those 2 boards. They both have 20 exposed pins and I'm pretty sure the order is the same.
@@AnotherMaker got it, thanks!

@@Shadowwand Yeah. I gave up trying to do mqtt over TLS a while ago. It can be done, but any time I need tls, I just do https connections instead.
