			<description><![CDATA[First of im a newbie so please dont be hard on me. I purchased a B16M with Tuya it arrived yesterday. It came with no instructions but it seemed quite straight forward to connect up. Two terminals marked 12v I powered it up opened the Tuya app and hey presto it found it and installed it.<br />
<br />
Once installed all the inputs and outputs were greyed out and no matter what I did. So I started hunting for instructions. Found the forum but couldnt post (but thats another story) found the ESP32 YAML File for home assistant installed that via ESPHome from my home assistant. That worked too but I was still unable to control the relays from HA even though the buttons moved on my HA nothing was happening on the board.<br />
<br />
Now when I try to connect via usb the unit connects then disconnect connects then disconnect as if its drawing too much current and dropping out.<br />
<br />
Ive since spoken via we chat and discovered there are some more 12v inputs (I suspect these drive the relays) connected these up but now I am just unable to connect to the unit.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately Im at work now so unable to try any suggestions until this evening when I get home, but I would be grateful for any help that might point me in the right direction please. Ideally I need to get this back on Tuya.<br />
<br />
Thanks Peter]]></description>

What about dimming, can the PCF8575TS I2C I/O expander handle updates fast enough that dimming can be accomplished? What about just adding jumpers from the ESP to the I/O expander outputs to basically do PWM directly if PCF8575TS can't handle it?<br />

This is the first time I've used a 4-20ma sensor. I've used other 0-5V and 0-10V sensors before with voltage dividers and have been successful.</span></span><br />
<br />
Can you help me understand how the A1 and A2 Analog Inputs on the B16M work to convert the 4-20ma signal into a voltage and what I should use for the gain? ChatGPT is trying to explain it to me but it describes using a 250ohm shunt resistor. How do I know what internal shunt resistor(s) have been used to convert the signal to be readable by the internal ads1115 chip?<br />
<br />
I will be using 12VDC to excite the pressure sensor which is rated for 8-30VDC. The Wika test report shows that the sensor should produce 4ma at 0 bar and 20ma at 2.5 bar (36.2595 PSI). Here is a snapshot of my YAML code for esphome so far:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span style="color: #000000;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-family: Arial;" class="mycode_font">I'm trying to install a Wika A-10 Pressure Sensor/Transmitter 8-30VDC 4-20mA P# 13361091. This is the first time I've used a 4-20ma sensor. I've used other 0-5V and 0-10V sensors before with voltage dividers and have been successful.</span></span><br />
<br />
Can you help me understand how the A1 and A2 Analog Inputs on the B16M work to convert the 4-20ma signal into a voltage and what I should use for the gain? ChatGPT is trying to explain it to me but it describes using a 250ohm shunt resistor. How do I know what internal shunt resistor(s) have been used to convert the signal to be readable by the internal ads1115 chip?<br />
<br />
I will be using 12VDC to excite the pressure sensor which is rated for 8-30VDC. The Wika test report shows that the sensor should produce 4ma at 0 bar and 20ma at 2.5 bar (36.2595 PSI). Here is a snapshot of my YAML code for esphome so far:<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hello, i m new here and maybe i m doing something wrong but i can't flash the KCS_B16M_V3.4.0.bin in my new arrived B16M device.<br />
<br />
I have followed the guide indicated on this page "https://www.kincony.com/how-to-use-kcsv3-firmware-esp32-board.html" step by step, but always after a few seconds of starting, the same error appears.<br />
<br />
"8-download data fail"<br />
<br />
Tips:<br />
Maybe communication instability cuased this error, you can try to reduce the baud rate of download.<br />
<br />
And in the rear command window (black window) appears:<br />

<br />
I'm sure i selected chipType: ESP32S3 on the initial screen, why appears "ESP8266Loader_spi" text? Is something wrong?<br />
<br />
I have tried different cables, bauds anb firmware versions and managed to make the process last longer each time and the green bar grow more, but it still gives an error and never finishes successfully.<br />
<br />
I don't know what to do anymore.<br />
<br />
I have searched the forum but haven't found any case similar to mine.<br />
<br />
What can I do, any help would be appreciated.<br />
Thanks in advance.]]></description>
