How do I update the ESP32 firmware from Linux?

When I purchased this, there was no mention that I had to use a closed, proprietary operating system to make this.

Whether you’ve followed one of our enclosure guides or made your own, we’d love to see it. What kind of material and enclosure works best? What problems have you had?

And where have you set up your Light Touch? How have you used the colors to communicate? We’d all love to know!

We both run software to monitor our wifi networks and we can see that the lights disconnect randomly and reconnect most of the time. We both have to connect to the YoYo wifi and input our passwords every couple of days.

Is there something we could do to fix this?

But on connecting the servos they go round at high speed! When I touch the wire on one, it changes to medium speed, then if I touch again to lower speed, then if I touch again - to jittery ticking seemingly with a mind of its own! After a minute or so, the jitter stops. This get transmitted to the other device so the other servo does the same, but not the other way round!

Any ideas?

After downloading and installing it, one will be prompted by a request to give the application permission to be launched - so far nothing out of the ordinary. AFTER one does this, the application should be good to go.

Yet, AFTER giving it all the permissions it could ask for and Apple could take from it, it still does not launch. The application's icon will briefly pop up, go away, and pop up one last time, more or less quickly prompted by a crash report, saying that the application quit unexpectedly. I am currently running macOS Sonoma 14.1.2.

When they do work (touch steps the motor about 30⁰) when it gets to the 0⁰ position, the servo is trying to go further (can hear the motor whining/attempting to go further).

I've flashed the boards a couple of times - does it sound like there's an issue? Anyone with any suggestions?

thanks!

I have tried pointing the PIR sensors in different directions, tried to cover them, stabilizing them, etc. I even unplugged them. The fans are still spinning. (changing the timing of the fans works, but then they will only stop shortly, then continue). What could be the issue here?

I’ve built a pair of Light Touch things, and it mostly works.

I was wondering if the server part is open source too, and if I can have my own server?
