KC868-A16 - Own Arduino firmware

[boe666]

I am waiting for the kc868-A16 to be delivered. My goal is to make a complete program in Arduino to support my own smart elements - the superior system is Domoticz/HomeAssistant. Are there any examples in Arduino that show how to implement access to all PCF and other in/out ports (pins, addresses) as well as the LAN module (pins, addresses) in the Arduino environment? If so, where can I find them. I know that you can do reverse engineering and laboriously check and test everything - but if someone has already figured it out - maybe they could share a few source files.

if you want to use home assistant, you can use by ESPHome, we already supply yaml file. you can check at here: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1628
if you MUST want to use arduino , here are all sample demo code for KC868-A16: https://www.kincony.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=25

When I try to compile the example I get the messagerc/WebServer_WT32_ETH01.h:63:4: error: #error This code is designed to run on ESP32 platform! Please check your Tools->Board setting.

Espressif ESP32 installed (boards). Selected board ESP32 S3 Box or WT32-ETH1. Regardless of which board variant I choose - I get the same message. Any tips?

Arduino:2.3.3, ESP 3.0.7. file: HelloServer.ino

if you are using KC868-A16, it use ESP32 device, NOT ESP32-S3 device.

[boe666]

but which one exactly, because there are many types of ESP32 boards in Espressif. There is no regular ESP32.
In the thread https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1613 it says to choose NodeMCU-32S - that's the name of the board but no changes - the same message.

[admin]

chose NodeMCU32 also is OK. your problem is not installed  WebServer_WT32_ETH01 arduino library. just install it.

I have the WebServer_WT32_ETH01 library installed, the problem lies in the STM32 definition in the code of this library. Just change the line #if ESP32 to #if !ESP32 and the compiler goes on. However, there is another problem with the PCF8547 library.. in the second picture.

Probably you have to use Renzo Mischianti's PCF8574 library. Now the problem is the ETH.h library - which one to use? I have installed https://docs.arduino.cc/libraries/ethernet/ in newest version but I see that the esp32 library has its own ETH.h (so I uninstalled my) libraries. It says that constants should be defined, for example:
#ifndef ETH_PHY_TYPE
#define ETH_PHY_TYPE ETH_PHY_LAN8720
#define ETH_PHY_ADDR 0
#define ETH_PHY_MDC 23
#define ETH_PHY_MDIO 18
#define ETH_PHY_POWER -1
#define ETH_CLK_MODE ETH_CLOCK_GPIO0_IN
#endif
The compiler reports as follows:

here is PCF8574 arduino library we are using.

here is PCF8574 arduino library we are using.

PCF problem solved. What about ETH.h library and compiler errors? Which library should I use? Currently the one built into the esp32 library is used, which can be seen in the error logs.

---

Interestingly, the example from the esp32 / Ethernet library called ETH_LAN8720 compiles without errors in the same Arduino environment. Request for support. Ultimately, I would like to use the MYSENSORS library, but I have to start with the network first.
