New install - getting a 404 resource not found when browsing to Winderoo on local network

[loiphin]

Hi,

I did an install using the provided instructions to a ESP32 with VS Code and PlatformIO. That all appears to have gone well.

I can then browse to the Winderoo via its local Access Point. I then setup my local wireless network at home, and then reset the ESP32.

It comes up on my wifi network as I can ping it, but when trying to connect to http://winderoo.local, I get the following web page:

Winderoo

404 - Resource Not found

Any ideas what I can try to help debug this ?

Some more testing using another board ...

Looking at the logs, like here:

I'd wager a guess that you didn't flash the filesystem. You have to do that as well as "upload the code." Specifically step 7 here:
https://github.com/mwood77/winderoo/blob/main/docs/install-software.md#flashing-your-microcontroller

---

The filesystem image contains all frontend assets

You shouldn't need to do anything more than just flash the file system image and reset the microcontroller. It should pickup the assets and serve you the front end - get rid of the 404 page.

OMG.... thats embarrassing! Sorry to waste your time.

In your docs though, would you state what point 1. and point 2. mean in the diagram, so its clear for everyone?

Thanks again,

loiphin.

[mwood77]

Sure, I can clarify that.

Do you mean, it would be better to illustrate the difference between steps 6 and 7 - which look very similar?

[loiphin]

Yes please :) I think my brain thought okay, i have done everything , uploaded the firmware, and it should work (and then I stop reading properly :/) .... I guess it wasnt clear there are two partitions, code and data.

[loiphin]

Also , I am getting about 9RPM as speed, with no PWM. Do you work out the "turns per day" based on time, and an estimate of RPM ? Whats the RPM you worked out.

So I am getting 26 minutes estimate, but in reality it should be 11minutes for 100 turns per day (9RPM), if I understand right.

Any chance we could configure RPM and PWN in an advanced settings tab ? :)

Wolf, a brand of winders rotates at 6RPM. Dont know if there is any scientific merit in that?

👍 I'll squeeze this into an existing PR.

Did you also include the pauses? If the rotation speed is actually 9RPM, then indeed the calculated time will be off.

If you're willing to beta test, you can pull the code off this branch:

• Add ability for users to customize certain behaviour #71

That branch contains configurable:

• clock (the current NTP server 429's Winderoo pretty badly)
• winding per-cycle time
• winding per-cycle pause time
• motor rotation timing

The new settings are explained here:

• https://github.com/mwood77/winderoo/blob/ui-improvements-and-settings/docs/user-manual.md#settings--customization

[loiphin]

Awesome, just tried it now and it seems to work well :) Only difference I have found is that clockwise /counter clockwise is reversed in this build. No biggy, I can reverse the wiring to accomodate.

Thank you ever so much for building this project :) I have loved every minute of building it. It scratches so many itches of mine, mechanics, electronics, horologyl, 3d printing, and coding :)

[mwood77]

Great, glad you've enjoyed it!

Please @ me if you find any bugs in the code from that branch. Part of it was a significant rewrite, so I'm somewhat apprehensive to merge it.
