  KC868-AK Firmware
Posted by: v1rtus - 02-03-2023, 07:26 PM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (50)

I have recently purchased the KC868-AK ESP32 keyboard and I have a few questions:

  1. Does it has already firmware? Or I need to flash it?
  2. With the keyboard I got RS232 cable, however I haven't found what each color means (Yellow, Blue, Brown vs Rx,Tx,Ground)
  3. Is it possible that when I click a button state will be sent via RS485 for example to RaspberryPI?

Thank you in advance!

  USE PCF8574 FOR ESP32 INPUT PORTS
Posted by: GVDC - 02-01-2023, 03:41 PM - Forum: Home automation training courses - Replies (10)

USE PCF8574 IIC EXTEND GPIO FOR ESP32 INPUT PORTS
Hello, 

I am very new working with Kincony 868 A8

I have downloaded the instructions from lesson 20 for installing input ports and copied them in e new sketch.
 
After uploading I see that all 8 Inports give "pressed key", continiously. Making contact between ground and 1 port (1 to 8) give no change. 
The serial monitor stays announcing all ports "pressed key".
 
Type : Kincony 868 A8 V1.5
Thanks
What is wrong?

Is it possible to add on a IR receiver to this board similar to what was on the A4? If not, what would you suggest to add in that functionality?

  auto download circuit on KC868-Ax PCBs
Posted by: Agm - 01-27-2023, 04:36 PM - Forum: KC868-A series and Uair Smart Controller - No Replies

I have just received a brand new KC868-A4 board, and I have found a trouble when trying to upload any firmware, not only with Arduino IDE, but also with Espressif tool. It is a rather well known issue (several posts in internet) , common to many ESP32 modules, that manifests with a failed entry in flash mode, with eternal looping"Waiting for packet header...".  One brut force solution, that worked well by my board is to maintain depressed the boot/flash button -S2-during whole upload process. The other, following Internet posts, is to put a supplementary Cap 1uF at EN pin3 of esp32 module. That worked well also in my case, this capacitor coming in parallel with the already equipped C4 (1uF) of the auto download circuit on my kc868-A4.
Does it mean that my board came faulty from factory, or is the design of the auto download circuit marginal ? I would appreciate Kincony's sincere report and recommendation for this issue.
