esp32 example file missing and max485 support

[JacquesdeBruyn]

Hi, I'm new to esphome and home assistant. I can't seem to get the 8266 code working on my 32. I have modified where gpio pins differ and added the flow control pin under uart but haven't gotten any readings out yet. I just want to get readings out to home assistant to mange loads. Just voltage, soc and amps/watts in out needed mostly. I can post my modified code if you need it. it does flash no problem but I don't get any return in the logs. I have a usb to 485 and the pc software for this bms

Could you provide your configuration YAML?

Is the flow control pin required by your RS485 module? If the pin is connected to GPIO4 please use this configuration:

seplos_modbus:
  flow_control_pin: GPIO4

The implementation sends a request to the BMS periodically. Does the TX led of your RS485 module blink periodically?

[JacquesdeBruyn]

I had a couple issues, so far the baud rate is in fact 19200(confirmed with pc software) I've also changed a couple pins to fix logging errors. its' responding with Invalid header now. BMS is 1101-SP06 by the looks of it.

Changed flow to gpio18 and and rx/tx to 16/17

[syssi]

You could enable the debug feature of the uart component by:

uart:
  id: uart0
  baud_rate: 19200
  tx_pin: ${tx_pin}
  rx_pin: ${rx_pin}
  rx_buffer_size: 384
  debug:
    dummy_receiver: false
    direction: BOTH
    after:
      delimiter: "\r"
    sequence:
      - lambda: UARTDebug::log_string(direction, bytes);

And provide some logs / traffic captures.

[JacquesdeBruyn]

Here is a bit of the return. I noticed the log baud rate shows as 115200.

logs_test1_upload.txt

[JacquesdeBruyn]

Correction bms is 1101-SP05

It is working now. I'll comment the code in here tomorrow.

[syssi]

Good job! Thanks for your support!

[JacquesdeBruyn]

I should thank you for putting in all the hard work. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of us that appreciate it.

[syssi]

@JacquesdeBruyn Please don't forget to leave a comment what you have done to make it work. Thanks in advance!

Hi, the holiday rush hit here. so before I get busy again here is my running code. Also be weary of bad RJ45 connectors. That was a fun one to find.

Anyways, Code as follows:

I've added a ESP32 example yaml to the repository: f9a6490

Let's close the issue because it's resolved.
