    Just realised that I have absolutely no idea what you mean here. I got the fact that the I2C could be 3.3v/5v or 5v only, and that the SDA/SCL outputs on the ESP32 will be 3.3v. I get that theoretically, this means that if the I2C is 5v only, I will need to change the voltage using a MOSFET 5v to 3v regulator. What I don't get is the need for pull-ups anywhere (or even what a pull-up is, sorry). I thought that you just connected the SDA/SCL inputs direct to the pinouts on the ESP32. Have I got this wrong?

    And yes, that was quick for a return...

    https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN10441.pdf will cover the mosfet and pull-ups on both sides. The ESP32 has very weak pull-ups built-in (around 45kOhm) which will often work but it is best to have an external pull-up for I2C.

    You will want 2k4 on the 3v3 side and 4k7 on the 5v side.

    Thanks. Think I get it. Looking at my I2C, I think that it is 5v not 3.3v/5v. So run it on 5v and change the logic level of SCL/SDA to 5v using a MOSFET for each line. Thanks.

    Depending on the device you are using it may just work at 3v3.

    How can I check that? Is it as simple as applying 3.3v to the vcc, ground to ground and seeing if it switches on? I had heard that one of the issues was contrast.

    Pretty much yes. What device are you looking at using?

    As for contrast, that sounds like an LCD issue and that may be due to the lower voltage. It's hard to say really.

    Yay!! Got past the first hurdle - Gzip is now recognised.

    Next problem - One (or more) OPS H-Bridge required parameters is not defined.

    I'm guessing that I haven't set a variable somewhere, and I'm guessing that this is the first of many variables I haven't set. Where should I have set this?

    Thanks.

    It might work as-is by powering with 5v and using SDA/SCL without pull-ups.

    run: idf.py menuconfig
    Go into "DCC Signal" -> "OPS". Check for missing parameters.
    Go into "DCC Signal" -> "PROG". Check for missing parameters.

    Run: idf.py menuconfig didn't do anything. (Using a Windows 10 PC, and cmd in it).

    idf.py menuconfig showed the above script.

    It looks like there may be a bug in idf.py where it is not running correctly due to spaces in the path (likely not the only one!). I'd suggest move the code to C:\ESP32CS. I'd also suggest upgrade from ESP-IDF v4.0 to ESP-IDF v4.2 which is the latest stable release (build guide needs an update for this).

    Thanks, I'll try that. Is it the "release/v4.2" version?

    Yes, that would be the v4.2 release branch and they will merge bug fixes to it periodically.

    SUCCESS!! Thanks Atani. I've configured the build.

    Now what?

    I'm running idf.py build, and then will be running idf.py -p COM7 flash, and see how that goes.

    And it was all going so well:


    What did I fail to configure? Text cut to match character size. I can put the {stuff} back in if it will help.

    Edit components/StatusDisplay/StatusDisplay.cpp after this line add:
    Code:
    #ifndef CONFIG_DISPLAY_OLED_RESET_PIN
    #define CONFIG_DISPLAY_OLED_RESET_PIN -1
    #endif
    
    I've got a fix for this on the "sync" branch but it is not quite ready to merge to master yet.

    Also, do I need the address for my I2C controlling the LCD (0X27)? Does that need to go anywhere? Thanks
