Hi all

I'm mostly use to working with Raspberry pi's and Sonoff's (which I flash with tasmota using esptool)

I want to flash a wemos D1 and D1-mini with the project at the following GIT (https://github.com/maragelis/ParadoxRs232toMqtt)

looking for some assistance.

I'm busy downloading Arduino IDE and will configure with the libraries for 8266... but there seem to be more libraries needed ?

G

... so got Arduino IDE installed

Got the board manager library installed for the wemos D1 / D1-mini.

and flash the blink sketch... so the bits are working.

now onto the actual project. : https://github.com/maragelis/ParadoxRs232toMqtt

I've downloaded all the library bits (exact version as per the above GitHub.), now what ? -

please helppppp

With what step are you struggling?

Did you load the libraries into the arduino folder?

 

Did you open the sketch in Arduino IDE?

ok, so this things I don't even know, I have the project clone directory, and then all the tar.gz files (haven't unpacked them yet) of the libraries that the project owner mentioned.

where do I place all of this.

I've modified the project .ino file with the detail as instructed.

Ok. If you have loaded and modified the .ino file, you need to compile and then upload it to the wemos with a usb cable. There's a button at the top leftish to do it in sequence, or both in one go. The compiler part will tell you if things are ok, or has errors.

Also save your work on you local pc directory. 

missing something, where (and what of the dowloaded libraries) do i place them to be included in the compile.

Aduino core

PubSub

WiFi Manager

got it all working, compiled and flashed to board, even had the board join the wifi, and publish to the mosquitto broker running on laptop, redid everything with the to be ip's and credentials.
