ZombieVerter Display

[Jack Bauer]

As per Jan's video this is the all in one command I used on Linux :

esptool --chip esp32s3 --port /dev/ttyACM0 --baud 921600 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash -z --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size 16MB 0x0 ZombieVerterDisplay.ino.bootloader.bin 0x8000 ZombieVerterDisplay.ino.partitions.bin 0xE000 boot_app0.bin 0x10000 ZombieVerterDisplay.1_1_0.bin 0x910000 ZombieVerterDisplay.spiffs.bin

[GregFordyce]

esptool --chip esp32s3 --port /dev/ttyACM0 --baud 921600 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash -z --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size 16MB 0x0 ZombieVerterDisplay.ino.bootloader.bin 0x8000 ZombieVerterDisplay.ino.partitions.bin 0xE000 boot_app0.bin 0x10000 ZombieVerterDisplay.1_1_0.bin 0x910000 ZombieVerterDisplay.spiffs.bin

Using Damien's linux command above with the attached files I get a partially working display, the only problem is a "No SPIFFS Files" error when I go to 192.168.4.1. I've got a params.json file from my ZV, attached below. Any advise on where I've gone wrong?

EDIT: I've just replaced the params file with the full version.

[GregFordyce]

A bit more info, when I go to 192.168.4.1/update I can do OTA updates but none of the above files fix the "No SPIFFS Files" error. I had a look at the terminal output, shown below and noticed several warnings.

So I then tried this command from the terminal, no warnings but still the same error, "No SPIFFS Files".

I must be missing something silly/obvoius!

[GregFordyce]

Still not working Below is the serial monitor output.

Failed to parse params.json: EmptyInput
Failed to load parameters
Loaded 0 parameters for settings screen
Loaded 0 spot parameters for spot params screen

When I go to settings I get the green screen of death!

Green Screen of Death!

I'm getting data from the ZV and I can connect to the display and upload .bin files but I always end up with the no spiffs error.

I even tried compiling from source, it compiled but the display went into a constant reboot cycle.

I'm not sure what to do next?

This is what I get when I try and build from source.

Compiles fine but then goes into a boot loop with this message repeating on the serial monitor.

Try using https://esptool.spacehuhn.com/ to flash the attached full flash dump from my display at address 0x0

[GregFordyce]

I couldn't get the online tool to connect to my display but flashing it with my linux laptop, with the command below, worked a treat!

Code: Select all

greg@HalfPint:~/Downloads$ esptool --chip esp32s3 --port /dev/ttyACM0 --baud 921600 --before default-reset --after hard-reset write-flash -z --flash-mode dio --flash-freq 80m --flash-size 16MB 0x0 ZombieDisplayFull.bin 

I've uploaded my params.json file and all is good.

Thanks!!!
