Hello,
For my college project I had to create an automated greenhouse using sensors and an Arduino Uno. One of the sensors I was given was an Adafruit DHT22 with an ESP8266 ESP01 and I've been at this for weeks now and I am going nowhere with it.
I have tried their sites wiring set up and IDE code but I keep getting an error either telling me something along the lines of "Hard Reset." Or "esptool.FatalError"
I have installed their GitHub library provided by the Adafruit website but i cant figure out where to install it or how despite placing the folder in "libraries" under the Arduino Data folder on my laptop and having it unzipped.
Recently too, I thought I got the example webclient to work.
Below is the little project that I am trying to get working on an Arduino Uno.
Right now, here are the errors I am getting:
I have tried multiple guides, and even tried to set up a web client and this keeps happening. I tried resetting the WiFi module but to no avail.
My wiring set is like this:
Pin1=RX of Arduino
Pin2=GPIO-0, which is connecting to the ground during uploads
Pin3=PGIO-2
Pin4=Gnd
Pin5=TX, Connect to TX of Arduino
Pin6=CH_PD, Connected to 3.3v
Pin7= RST, which I don't really connect, but when I do, I would have it connected to the 3.3v during normal operations and to gnd for reset
Pin8=Vcc, which supply's the 3.3v from the Arduino
I did at one point during my lab session got some "Hard Reset" notice before I ran the programme again, then I got some "Fatal.Error"
Again, it's an Adafruit ESP8266 ESP-01 black model. According to the site, it has been discontinued. I tried searching up this model, but I'm only ever getting the other versions such as the ESP32.
