• Updated analog neural network file (ana1000s2.tflite) & digital neural network file (dig1400s2q.tflite)

• TFMicro/Lite: Update (espressif Version 20220716)

• Updated esp32cam (v20220716)

• ESP-IDF: Update to 4.4

• Internal update (CNN algorithm optimizations, reparation for new neural network type)

10.5.2 - Stability Increase (2022-02-22)

• NEW 10.5.2: Bug Fix: wrong firmware.bin (no rate update)
• NEW 10.5.1: Bug Fix: wrong return value, rate value & PreValue status, HTML: SSID & IP were not displayed

• HTML: check selectable values for consistency
• Refactoring of check postprocessing consistency (e.g. max rate, negative rate, ...)
• Bug Fix: corrected error in "Check Consistency Increase"

10.4.0 - Stability Increase (2022-02-12)

• Graphical configuration: select available neural network files (*.tfl, *.tflite) from drop down menu
• OTA-update: add option to upload tfl / tflite files to the correct location (/config/)
  • In the future the new files will also be copied to the firmware directory of the repository
• Added Wifi RSSI to MQTT information
• Updated analog neural network file (ana-s3-q-20220105.tflite)
• Updated digital neural network file (dig-s1-q-20220102.tflite)
• Updated build environment to Espressif 3.5.0

10.3.0 - Stability Increase (2022-01-29)

• Implemented LED flash dimming (LEDIntensity). Remark: as auto illumination in the camera is used, this is rather for energy saving. It will not help reducing reflections
• Additional camera parameters: saturation, contrast (although not too much impact yet)
• Some readings will have removable "N"s that can not be removed automatically and are handled with an "error" --> no return value in the field "value" anymore (still reported back via field "raw value")
• Updated esp32 camera hardware driver
• Bug fix: MQTT, HTML improvements

ATTENTION: The new ESP32 camera hardware driver is much more stable on newer OV2640 versions (no or much less reboots) but seems to be not fully compatible with older versions.

• If you have problem with stalled systems you can try the following

  • Update the parameter ImageQuality to 12 instead of current value 5 (manually in the config.ini)

  • If this is not helping, you might need to update your hardware or stay with version 9.2

10.2.0 - Stability Increase (2022-01-14)

• Due to the updated camera driver, the image looks different and a new setup might be needed

  • Update reference image
  • Update Alignment marks

• Reduce reboot due to camera problems

• Update esp32-camera to new version (master as of 2022-01-09)

10.1.1 - Stability Increase (2022-01-12)

• Bug Fix MQTT problem
• Issue:
  • Changing from v9.x to 10.x the MQTT-parameter "Topic" was renamed into "MainTopic" to address multiple number meters. This renaming should have been done automatically in the background within the graphical configuration, but was not working. Instead the parameter "Topic" was deleted and "MainTopic" was set to disabled and "undefined".
• ToDo
  • Update the html.zip
  • If old config.ini available: copy it to /config, open the graphical configuration and save it again.
  • If old config.ini not available: reset the parameter "MainTopic" within the config.ini manually
  • Reboot
