esp32-dali-clock's Issues

Wemos LOLIN32

The code compiles and uploads without a hitch but upon execution I'm greeted with this on the serial monitor.

ESP32 keeps rebooting.

After uploading the code to the ESP32 it will run the code for about 25 seconds and then start a constant reboot cycle.

Tried to run on a separate power USB battery supply with a constant reboot after 1 second.

Video included.

Boot loop/crash with Espressif ESP32 Arduino core version 2.0.2

No video output with Espressif ESP32 Arduino core version 2.0.2. Enters a boot loop with an ledc error. Identical hardware/code works with ESP32 Arduino core v1.0.6, v2.0.0 and v2.0.1.

I'm aware this may actually be an issue with the ESP32 Arduino core that you cannot fix, but thought I'd raise it here as I don't have the background on the internals of the composite video code to be sure.

LInes at the bottom of the screen are duplicated in PAL mode

https://youtu.be/tKJLKOonMMs

Seems that there are a few lines at the bottom that are duplicated rather than the grid extending to the bottom of the screen,

I have changed the lines in the main .ino file to have

#define SUPPORT_NTSC 0
#define SUPPORT_PAL 1

and furthur down

CompositeColorOutput composite(CompositeColorOutput::PAL);

is there anything else to get this working right?

Daylight saving time tickbox doesn't work.

I tick it and choose NST timezone, the URL has

&ntp_addr=pool.ntp.org&timezone=12.00&time_dst=on

on the end of it, but it is ignored, its showing the time for UTC + 12, not + 13 like it should be.

I can change the timezone to =13.00 myself and resubmit it and it gets it showing the correct time for me.

I'm fairly sure this was working in the past however? I would have noticed it on my last play with it if it was an hour out I would have thought. Perhaps not tho.

Also, why is the network name and the time selection in the same form? If I change the timezone and dont re-paste the SSID and key, it leaves it not connected to the LAN and I have to get the phone out and connect to its hotspot and reconfigure the wifi again.

no issue - question about composite video

Hello and thank you for sharing your work
I understand that your code for composite video is between bitluni library (esp32lib) and ESP_8_BIT library
Your demo for the clock works fine for me on a car dvd player screen
However I have no image when I use any of bitluni code.
Did you have the same issue than me ? How did you solve it ? Does it have something to do with bad syncing (PLL/APLL) ?
I really enjoy the clock :)

ESP32 bootloop -- "wifi:create wifi task: failed to create task"

Hi!

I've tried this on a couple of different ESP32 boards and seem to be getting the same result -- a bootloop. Please be patient; my knowledge of the arduino/esp32 environment is .. limited.

NTP timeserver not syncing right, and can't select 12/24 hour time

I select NTP timeserver and it always syncs to show 20:00:59, regardless of location. I have to manually set the time every time i power up the ESP32.

Also, how can i get it to show the time in 12 hour format?

About WIFI can not connect

I like this project very much. I also bought the ESP32 WROOM-32 development board. The source code is compiled and uploaded to the development board. The TV also shows the time, but when I connect to the "ESP32 DALI CLOCK" WIFI through the mobile phone, it prompts "The network access is denied ". I used the laptop to connect to the WIFI again, but there was no prompt, but it was always in a state of being unable to connect. Please help me, thanks! cheers!
