  • question: How can i use two MAX30102 i2c sensors with an esp8266 that have the same address?

    I haven't seen anyone use that particular library with the ESP8266 yet. I've personally tried the core Wire library, the Enjoyneering library, and the brzo_i2c library. The only issue I see offhand with that Multi_Bitbang library is at line 185 in the source: it's only waiting a half bit-time for the ACK, which will fail (NACK) with any part that does clock stretching; it won't see the ACK. The I2C spec allows for slave clock stretching on any of the bits, although I've only seen stretches on the ACK bit myself with the parts I've used.

    The result is that the WiFiSecureClient doesn't work when used in the bot declaration, so I changed the variable to WiFiClient but I can't use the certificate, so I comment it out and ESP8266.h gives me a thousand errors due to lack of dependencies in its libraries. I should point out that I downloaded the entire project from the Arduino ESP8266, I don't know how to link all the libraries, so I simply took those from the ESP8266WiFi.

    He meant the Arduino framework. There is an Arduino core for the ESP8266 so you can use Arduino’s IDE and libraries for the ESP with this core here

    There are 2 ways to minimize power consumption while maintaining an active WiFi connection, but it's not a large power reduction for either mode. Look at Automatic Modem Sleep and Automatic Light Sleep here: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/esp8266/examples/LowPowerDemo

    1 project | /r/esp8266 | 26 Feb 2023
    That's the Arduino (Uno) library. If you've correctly installed the ESP8266 package then it should be 3.(something-ish) for the ESP8266 version of the WiFi library. Current is 3.1.1 for the core files, and the WiFi is part of the core libraries. If you have your compile options set for verbose then you should see it doesn't access that old Arduino WiFi library.
