Just a FYI on this post... LED Gardener and I worked on this issue together and I found that the problem was with cabling. I had used cat5 cable to extend my wiring to the 150 gallon tote I modified for my nutrient tank. When I crimped the cables to cat5 two of my cables were crossed. Once I fixed t...

I have been able to work through a lot of things with my system and now it is partially functional. One of my sticking points is with Scale calibration. I have the 3 items setup on HA 1.) HX711 Calibration - which gives readout of what is occurring as calibration is kicked off. 2.) "Begin Calibratio...

Hi VDELGATTO, I am new to this group also and I also built the Automation System you did. I am impressed with the layout of your components in box and the way you setup the Peristaltic Pumps is great. Was able to get ESP32 communicating with the Mega after some troubleshooting. Did you use the HX711...

Hi Gmarbles, Sorry I have been out of town but got back and was able to figure out the problem. Turns out that when I connected the serial lines between the Mega and ESP chips I must have tapped into power because after correcting the problem I still wasn't getting any data flowing even using the fe...

Hi Grant,

Appreciate your work on this. I too am out of town and will be back on Monday so i will also pick up where you are at and check voltage I am running on my Mega... Glad to see you could see the serial communication at least going one direction.

Thanks,

Dana

Thanks for the feedback gmarbles!
I am just glad to connect with someone that is also going in this direction.
I appreciate the insight you show. Let me look over the info you sent and will get back to you when I have time to devote which should be by tomorrow.

I am new to this site and have already received some help which I much appreciate! This is a separate question from the first on ino files. My greenhouse is finished and already putting plants in it. However I haven't finished the automation and could use some help to finish up. I built the same box...

Sorry, I just now am able to get back to my post and see the responses.... thanks for the help! I was able to see from your posts that the ino files were necessary and have been able to use the arduino program to upload to both chips fine. That is where I have been working till now. I am not getting...

Hi Everyone, I just signed up but have been building this project for months. I have setup the automation like Ledgardener and am in the process of configuration. I do have background in IT in my previous job but programming is my weak spot. I currently have setup the Arduino Mega with the sketch fr...
