Esp32 Dados registrando temperatura para cartao MicroSD Este projeto mostra como registrar dados com datas de tempo para um cartéo microSD usando o ESP32. Como exemplo, registraremos leituras de temperatura do sensor DS18B20 a cada 10 minutos. O ESP32 estaré em modo de sono profundo entre cada leitura, e solicitara a data e a hora usando o Protocolo de Tempo de Rede (NTP). Visao geral do projeto Antes de comegar, vamos destacar as principais caracteristicas do projeto:Measure temperature (DS18B20) Timer wake up Request date and time (NTP server) t . x i fal Deep sleep for 10 Log data minutes (microSD card) = O ESP32 |é a temperatura usando o sensor de temperatura DS18B20.

It would be great to show how to do battery powered projects. | have a couple of related questions on this project on this dev board (or other dev boards with a LiPo charger) is the USB-UART always powered on via the same 3.3V ESP module supply? (An unused USB-UART could drain a battery.) In deep sleep what is the power consumption, i.e. how long can a battery last? BTW, | would suggest a sleep calculated to wake at the next 10 minute real-clock interval rather than 600s, so the some seconds to make a WiFi +NTP connection doesn't shift the interval. But that's a pretty straightforward change in your tutorial code. Reply @ Rui Santos June 23, 2018 at 8:46 am For a real lower power application with the ESP32, you shouldn't use an ESP32 Development board, It's recommended to use an ESP32 chip directly on your own PCB, because any dev board has many unnecessary components draining the batteries (even in deep sleep) Reply Raizel HyesNice blog post. | really like the way you explained all the things.

Reply 4 Sara Santos February 8, 2019 at 5:46 pm Hi Dave. | haven't tried with 24 hours interval. But you can edit the deep sleep time in the code. It doesn’t have to be every 10 minutes. Getting the network time consumes a lot of power because the ESP32 needs to connect via Wi-Fi.

The SD card module and the RTC work with SP! communication protocol. So, use the SPI pins and a different chip select pin for each of them. You can connect the DS18B20 to any GPIOs you want (apart from some exceptions: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-pinout-reference- gpios/) At the moment, we don’t have any guide dor RTC with the ESP32. But we have one for Arduino (it shouldn’t be much different):https://randomnerdtutorials.com/guide-for-real-time-clock-rtc- module-with-arduino-ds1307-and-ds3231/ We also have something similar to what you want to do using Arduino: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/arduino-temperature-data-logger-with- sd-card-module/ I hope this helps with your project.

There are some great photographs of the PCBs on Amazon UK so it wasn't difficult. It seems that many of the modules have 5V input and the 5V in all cases seems to go to a 3V3 regulator but very few modules have a 3V3 input pin. This is a real nuisance because the modules all seem to run on 3V3 but most don't have a 3V3 input pin just a 5V pin. This means that the modules with no way to bypass the regulator are likely to misbehave if fed with 3V3. The work around is to solder a fine wire to the output leg of the regulator but a steady hand will be necessary. This is important to me because | am working on a project that will eventually be powered directly off a LiFePo4 battery that runs at around 3.2V so avoiding the need for a regulator. | will do some research into card modules with a 3V3 input pin — this will save a lot of headaches!

Dave K. August 11, 2020 at 2:04 pm Ron, AFAIK, there is no direct comparison. | think that is mainly because they simply don't compare, The ESP32 is a much more powerful Soc then an Atmel ATMEGA. The Arduino IDE was written for the ATMEGA, and has been expanded to include other chips and boards Rui and Sara seem to have the best information here on the RNT sites, if you are not ready to “go very deep, very fast’. The pinouts show some pins are input only...they do not have pullups or pulldowns, all the others do. What module you have determines what exact pins are broken out from the chip. For example, | have some Heltec modules that show GPIOs 33-39 are input only, the pinout from here https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-pinout-reference- gpios/ show only 4 pins as input only. So it really depends on the the module and chip you are using. Those Heltec modules have quite a few differences for several reasons, but that does not mean they can't be used for RNT projects. | got the for their on board OLEDs, and like the results. Also, | have had to look into the hardware abstraction files to find some of my answers. Heltec provided a version of their hardware layer that plugs into the Arduino IDE, just like the generic esp32 files do. The differences are slight, but it provides for dedicated pins and shortcut commands to set up the board. If you have dedicated modules that have their own code, going to look at the files can be helpful, though often tough to decipher what you need! = Menukristoll August 3, 2020 at 12:36 pm can | replace sensors with thermocouple?cz | need more good sensitively result,or maybe u have any idea what should | do ? need more accurate result thx ® rgds from indonesia Reply b Sara Santos August 4, 2020 at 4:22 pm Hi.

As the ESP has to boot on each wake up, it will drain a lot of power to try to connect, and might even create timing errors on the I2C software bus. —Even though there is plenty of power available, power leads have inductance, put a 1-10uF cap very near your dev board, (or on it if you can solder!). Your power leads and all paths should be 22ga or greater if a longer distance. (Like a meter (yard) or more.) Local cap can be biggerregulator? Is it fast enough to go from sleep power to full power? Switching regulators can cause problems if not filtered properly...another reason for the cap on board. That's about all | have. Power spikes are pretty often a problem with the ESPs. Hope it helps, Dave K. Reply Ron Brinkman September 29, 2020 at 3:05 am Dave K, I'm having symptoms similar to Lockie, No rebooting, but unexplainable issues. |. am porting an Arduino Mega/ESP8266 combo card application to ESP32 — | KNOW the application works. Both have microSD, BME280, HC-12 transceiver, WiFi, DFPlayer mini, shift registers and RTC. The Arduino/ESP8266 is powered by a 5V switched power supply with no filtering, and is rock solid reliable. Components that ONLY worked at 3.3V are regulated with AMS1117-3.3 with 800uF on the 3.3V side. With ESP32 everything is on the 3.3V regulated side. Initial problem was: * Sockets in my breadboard became “sprung” because they contained “fat” ESP32, BME280 and other pins alongside “skinny” resistor and capacitor pins. Even worse, jumper wires with square pins can be inserted diagonally, spreading the sockets wider, leading to unreliable connections. | switched to a new breadboard and inserted components at opposite ends of the 5-hole connection strip *m not sure jumper wires are 22ga| have encountered numerous problems ONLY with the ESP32, with no viable cause: * HC-12 transceiver range is only ~10 feet rather than 1+ blocks. NO difference at all between the two implementations except the microcontroller. * DFPlayer mini initially occasionally skipped a song, now plays for 1-2 seconds then quits. NO known reason * Shift register works for awhile then rests for awhile, then works again... I'm about to give up with the port because my deadline is approaching. Last thing I'm trying is ferrite beads on the power supply lines, and seeing if a ‘scope will show dropouts or spikes. If | were confident enough that my problem was “inductance” | would go ahead and commit to a PCB design that could help immensely. Do you have a recommended circuit for “filtered properly”?

September 30, 2020 at 1:05 am Hi Ron, | don’t have a recommended filter, other than sufficient capacity as close to the ESP as practical. | have no way of knowing what Locke’s actual problem is, and | was recommending the simplest issue to resolve first. When ever there is high impedance inputs and rf, such as WiFi, everything must be routed right, grounded right, and (in my experience) breadboards are a series of antennas! | once built a comparator circuit with an LM393 that triggered the second op amp in the package every time the first fired on a breadboard. The Inputs to the offending amp were tied together and grounded, and | had to remove the output pin from the breadboard to prevent triggering the target amp. Why? As you said, poor connections I'm sure. The 22ga was to assure there would be no appreciable drop, and good breadboard connections. Since the ESP can pull 280mA for short periods not counting other loads. | too think there may be some issues with the ESP32s. But you may be able to work around them by careful coding and solid design. Dave Reply Lockie September 29, 2020 at 9:52 am That is all very good advice Dave. | had already turned off wifi to see if that made a difference, but alas no it didn’t. | have 100 uF cap close to the ESP32 and it is on a breadboard so distance is not an issue. | have been waitina twa months for same extra FSP32Cam hoards in case mvshocking!

Reply Lockie September 30, 2020 at 7:12 am Hi Dave, The reason | chose the BMP280 was that in a comparison on the web somewhere it outperformed most of the other sensors. | wanted a temp sensor with high resolution (0.01 degree) for a certain application, actual temp accuracy wasnt an issue. | note that the DS18B20 you are using has 12 bit resolution (0.0002 degree) and 0.5 degree accuracy, so it may be even better. | need a very low1/1000 of a degree. | aim to log once a minute for three years (CRO checks not done yet.) lockie October 3, 2020 at 12:02 pm Hi, A further update. | received two more ESP32_Cams after 2 months of waiting. | popped one in on the breadboard that was set up and loaded my test program that reads temp and barometric pressure and writes to Sd every minute. It has been running flawlessly now for 10 hours, No GME's or flash read errors! So I guess | had an ESP32 that was out of spec. Pity it took me weeks of hairpulling to find out.

Thanks Renzo GiuriniLockie October 6, 2020 at 8:50 am Hi, Unlike the |2C, the SPI bus uses separate lines for sending and receiving data, and it employs an additonal line for selecting which slave device you are talking to. This adds additonal wires, but also eliminates needing different slave device addressses. So what this means is instead of specifying the address of the slave device, we simply address that slave device by turning on its CS pin. It’s a lot more simplistic. Arduino has a built-in SPI library and hardware to communicate with SPI devices. Check out https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/1904 if you need to interface more than 8 devices.

Then | realized, after reading the compiler errors that | had inadvertently switched to an Arduino Nano. Switching back to ESP32 | got the initializing the card error. Switching the power supply for the SD card to 5y, it worked! Sorry to have bothered you (o: I'm having other issues reading files (I can recognize the files with the generic SD test program, which can create, write and read its own files) but the test program cannot read the contents of the files. I'll keep working! Cheers!

Unfortunately | get a mount error, meaning that my pin definitions are not being processed. | notice that this seems to be a common issue on many of the ESP32 forums, with the only solution so far being to use some alternate library (Mysd.h). You helped me with my problem using alternate I2C pins with the BMP280 sensor, that necessitated using the Sparkfun library instead of the Adafruit library. Maybe a similar problem exists with SPI and certain ESP32 devices? What experience have you or Rui had with this issue?

Regards, Sara Reply Alan Knight March 9, 2021 at 4:58 pm Hi Sara, Sketch would not Compile ‘getFormattedDate’ No such class in NTPClient. Went to NTPClient examples & found ‘getFormattedTime’ & used this instead. Sketch now complies. Keep up the good work. Alan Reply 4 Sara Santos March 9, 2021 at 5:07 pmHi. You were probably using the wrong version of the library. We are using the NTPCLient library forked by Taranais: https://github.com/taranais/NTPClient Regards, Sara Reply Alan Knight March 9, 2021 at 6:19 pm Hi, Thanks Sara, it now complies OK. Alan Reply Fernando Nino March 30, 2021 at 2:01 am Just wondering if you are using the 36 pin or the 30 pin ESP32 module, the link shows it is 30 pin but the example shows using the 36pin ESP32 module. Reply = Menub Sara Santos March 30, 2021 at 10:41 am Hi Fernando. The tutorial works regardless of the number of pins on your board. You just need to connect the module to the right GPIOs. Regards, Sara Reply Fernando Nino March 30, 2021 at 4:30 pm Thanks Sara, | will give it a try Reply Philip Thompson April 10, 2021 at 11:30 am Hi I'm using some software to graph the output from this but the software expects date and time to be combined eg YYYY:MM:DAY Time. This project splits the date and time into two comma seperated fields. Can they be combined?

This explains how to use custom pins with the ESP32 and SD card: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-microsd-card- arduino/#sdcardcustompins | hope this helps. Regards, Sara Reply Sergio May 12, 2021 at 6:07 pm Hil | was working on the tutorial, but for some strange reason when wanting to compile it returns the following error: variable or field ‘writeFile’ declared void void writeFile(fs::FS &fs, const char * path, const char * message){ Do you have any idea what it might be? Reply Sergio May 12, 2021 at 6:19 pm = Menusomething to expand, is that | base myself on what you did and on the example that the library brings by default @ so the method is the following void writeFile (fs :: FS & fs, const char * path, const char * message) { Serial printf (‘Writing file:% s\n’, path); File file = fs.open (path, FILE_WRITE); if (1 file) ( Serial.printin ("Failed to open file for writing"); return; } if (file.print (message) { Serial.println ("File written"); } else { Serial.println ("write failed"); + file.close (); Reply Brad Nelson August 6, 2021 at 2:28 pm \s it possible to use this example to write serial data to the sd card as a log? Reply = MenuJeroen Kool November 28, 2021 at 7:11 pm @Sarah & Rui, THX for the excellent tutorials. | am fairly new to the ESP32 and subscribed to one of your tutorials. However my question is about this particular one. | do not understand how | get multiple ds18b20 sensors to write to the SD card. So | understand and got to work the above explanations but combining the two is beyond me. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Jeroen Reply & Sara Santos November 29, 2021 at 3:38 pm Hi Take a look at the following tutorials that might help: — https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-ds18b20-temperature-arduino- ide/ — https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-multiple-ds18b20-temperature- sensors/ — https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-microsd-card-arduino/ — https://randomnerdtutorials.com/altimeter-datalogger-esp32-bmp388/ (datalogging of multiple measurements, but with a different sensor) Regards, Sara = MenuJeroen Kool November 30, 2021 at 7:16 pm THX Sarah, It took quite some reading and trying but 8 Dallas sensors are reporting to the SD card now. Greetings from Holland Reply b Sara Santos December 1, 2021 at 3:00 pm Great! Reply Maksym February 7, 2022 at 11:06 pm Hello, first, thank you for your great tutorials! | wanted to ask, what would need to be changed in the code from SD card datalogging tutorial, to be able to save multiple files instead of appending all in one? For example, every time | reset esp32, it would created a new file?Maksym Reply 4 Sara Santos February 8, 2022 at 11:22 am Hi. In our example, we check if the file already exists so it doesn’t overwrite the previous file. If you want to have different files every time the ESP resets, you need to be able to give a different name to each file. There are different ways to do that. | suggest adding a timestamp to the name of the file, this way, it will always be unique at the time of creation. hope this helps.
