I designed a boat heave sensor. It uses accelerometer and gyroscope and runs on esp32.

I have been happily coding various sensors with Arduino IDE using various flavors of the esp32-c6. I had originally intended to use micro or circuit python but they didn't work with the new esp32s when I started. (And I am not sure they do now.)
But that's besides the point. I was very pleased with my signalk integration this sailing season. Recently, however, I thought I would give sensesp a looksee now that I was comfortable in the c++ sorta/Arduino world.
So I ported some code over to platformio using vs code, only to discover the esp32-c6s that I use aren't supported by Arduino with platformio. ...

I hope its ok to post this question here (please let me know if there is somewhere more suitable). I have purchased ad Halmet and trying to use Visual Studio Code to programme it but its not detecting the serial port (via USB). When i plug it in i get a a red light, flashing blue light and 2 x green lights but i dont see any new devices appearing in Device Manager. I have tried several different cables. Is there a driver i need to install?
Gaston - I am working on a water sensor (to che...
I am working on a water sensor (to check if there is any water in the bilge). What I have read is that water sensor corrode because of electrolysis (which occurs when you set 3v on a water sensor). To reduce the corrosion you can use a digital out pin to power the sensor and turn it on when you want to take a measurement (you could measure every minute).
An alternative is to use a capacitive sensor to prevent electrolysis. I am not sure if we can use one of the 'touch' pins of an ESP32 for that.
Any suggestions or experiences that someone cares to share about the issue above or water sensors in general?...

In previous versions of SensESP I used the sensesp/OneWire library for Dallas temperature sensors. It seems that the latest version (2.0.0) does not work with SensESP 3.0.0.
Does anyone have an example how to use a Dallas temperature sensor with SensESP 3.0.0?...

Hi all,
I am trying to build the sense_template code for a lolin_s2_mini (Wemos S2 mini). I get build errors. The only thing I changed is the
[env] settings in the platformio file.
The error is related to the LED_BUILTIN = 15; code (see image).
Is there anyone that can help me out here? My coding experience is limited....

Hi… I have a newbie question.. If I connect HALMET to my circa '95 Yanmar engine’s senders, do I risk breaking signals to existing gauges? Is there amplification or signal boosting required? Trying to be cautious. Maybe overly so. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone found a flow meter that works on small (10HP/7.5kW) outboards (for fuel)? Most I've seen have a minimum LPM that's a lot higher than a small outboard consumes.

Bilge counter setup question. Hi all, I'm using Halmet digital inputs to read when our bilge pumps activate. I have this data in SK and written out to an InfuxDB. I'm interested in other peoples solutions, but I also have these questions for my current solution please.
Q1, how do i count the number of times the bilge runs and display in a graph, date vs times activated?
Q2, the database seems to record the state of the bilge switch several times per second. I really only want to know when it activates and for how long
Q3, what do people use for external alerting, SMS/EMAIL/push, and how you configured? i have permanent internet aboard
Thanks, Colin...

Hi, I bought this tachometer for my YANMAR 2GM20, everything works but the value is always 0. I connect one wire to D4 and the other to GND. I followed the example in SENSESP repository.
The signal of the tachometer is sinusoidal.

I am getting other data into SK server from non-N2K devices, so i believe the Halmet to SK connection is working. It appears to only be a problem with N2K data not being fowarded to the SK server, or maybe i've missed some config on the SK server.
I've used the default/example firmware from Git, untouched.
Steps performed:...

Any recommendations for a way to determine when a small outboard is running? 8HP/6kW, no access to any spinning parts (except the prop). I was thinking maybe an IMU to detect vibration. Pull start, so no electrical/alternator, but maybe I could insert a voltage sensor between the magneto and the spark plug.

Having problems with SensESP and N2K connection. B&G Zeus can get some engine RPM readings from the ESP, but lists the device name as
??? and without any device info. Also I can't verify the actual data displayed yet since the boat is on land now, but at least the Zeus showed correctly 0 RPM. What might be the problem?

What’s a good Hall effect type sensor for reading rpm from the flywheel via a magnet? Ideally some analog type that can be powered from the esp32 pinout
