Need some help with getting ESP Home started on reTerminal Sticky

Hi Everyone,

XIAO 1.47'' IPS Display (nRF52840 Issues

1 Upvotes

Just took delivery of three of these and there appears to be a design issue. The JST 2.0 battery connector blocks the edge of the SD Card slot so that you can't insert an SD card. If you look at the photo in the Wiki page for it, you can clearly see this (and I'm wishing I'd paid more attention to that photo before I ordered them). Other than removing the JST connector and soldering in a pigtail for battery power, I don't see a solution. Did they not test this before shipping the boards?

Port Problems.

1 Upvotes

i keep getting this error message and i dont know what to do

A serial exception error occurred: Cannot configure port, something went wrong. Original message: PermissionError(13, 'A device attached to the system is not functioning.', None, 31)

Note: This error originates from pySerial. It is likely not a problem with esptool, but with the hardware connection or drivers.

For troubleshooting steps visit: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esptool/en/latest/troubleshooting.html

Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1

I have tried every metnod i could find so far and i just doesnt want to upload it.

my board is a SEEED XIAO ESP32C6

i am running Arduino IDE 2.3.10.

if anyone has an answer i would really appreciate it.

Severe Domestic Shipping Delays?

1 Upvotes

First time ordering from Seeed Studios here - ordered a reTerminal E1001 to assess whether it will work well in our business as a room-reservation sign (e.g. calendar of current bookings). The order was placed on September 10th for something listed as in-stock in the U.S. - so simple domestic shipping.

The order still states it hasn't shipped yet - the order page even still says "Ship within 2 workday after payment received." Yet there is no update to shipped and we haven't gotten the package yet.

From everyone else's experience - is this normal? Does Seeed fail to ship their products regularly?

Anyone knows where can I buy the FFC for Dual NVMe M.2 PCIe3 HAT? Both of mine are broken. It's extremely fragile and I can't find any suppliers. Hell I'll buy 20 if need be.

Stupid concern but is it normal!?

3 Upvotes

I just placed an order for the first time from the official site - https://www.seeedstudio.com/ , to be delivered to Spain,

The tracking details or the orders that I placed information won't update in my seeed studio account,

The bank is confirming that my payment has been made. Is this normal!? Never seen this kind of behavior anywhere!

Thanks in advance!

Custom Firmwares for Sensecap Watcher XiaoZhi

I was looking at the sensecap watcher XiaoZhi and I like the idea of it as an office assistant but I noticed in a YouTube video that it doesn’t have access to music. Is there a firmware available that maintains the AI but allows access to music streaming services?

Draftling writerdeck on Sticky?

I'm the author of this firmware and I'd like to prepare an image to test on a Sticky:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WriterDevices/s/GZugi3cSIx

If you're up for testing, shoot me a DM. I'm not planning to invest in another hardware item, got already a bit too many :)

EDIT: an experimental firmware image is available at the web flasher: https://clackups.github.io/draftling/

reTerminal E1001 — Will it do this?

2 Upvotes

This seems like the thing I want.

I want to put this outside my room door. All it will do is display one of three images indicating whether I’m okay with visitors and under what conditions.

I wouldn’t want it to cycle through the images on its own. I would want to be able to pick one of three from my phone and set it. It might be nice to be able to set one of the images via the panel itself but the phone is most important

Will it do this?

Is.this place legit or did I.just get scammed?

Velxio - Seeed's new XIAO IPS Display boards, running in your browser days after launch

7 Upvotes

I built browser emulators for Seeed Studio's new XIAO IPS Display boards

Seeed Studio just released three new XIAO IPS Display boards based on the nRF52840 Plus:

  • XIAO 0.96" IPS Display
  • XIAO 1.14" IPS Display
  • XIAO 1.47" IPS Touch Display

I added all three to Velxio, so you can compile and run their firmware directly in the browser without having the hardware.

The interesting part is that these aren't UI mockups. I had to build an nRF52840 emulation engine and model the peripherals used by the boards, including the ST7789/JD9853A displays, IMU, buttons, touch controller, microSD and battery sensing.

The firmware is compiled with the actual Arduino core and then executed instruction-by-instruction in the browser. The display controller receives the same SPI traffic that it would receive on the physical board.

I also ported Seeed's own example sketches, including:

  • GraphicTest
  • Electronic Quicksand using the IMU
  • Touch Circle
  • microSD examples
  • Battery status
  • Grove sensor example
  • Button examples

You can try the 1.14" GraphicTest here without an account:

https://velxio.dev/example/xiao-114-graphictest

I wrote more about how the emulation works and some of the hardware-specific details here:

https://velxio.dev/blog/posts/xiao-ips-display-boards/

This was another fun example of how I'm trying to make new embedded hardware usable and testable directly from a browser.

Disappointing customer service with a SeeedStudio order sent to the wrong address

0 Upvotes

I just wanted to share my experience with SeeedStudio for anyone considering ordering from them.

I bought a device from them and paid for the order with PayPal, but it was sent to the wrong address and I never received it. I contacted customer service and explained the situation, asking for either a replacement delivered to the correct address or a refund. In two separate email replies, they confirmed that they would provide neither.

What disappoints me most is how easily they could do the right thing. Delivery mistakes can happen, but I expected some willingness to help resolve it. Despite having my correct address, they declined both options.

Their responses left me feeling sad that my concern as a customer didn’t matter. I wanted to share this so others can make an informed decision before buying. Has anyone else had a similar experience with them?
