Version 0.40
Fixes and New Features
- Adds support for the newer TFMini-s v1.8.1 version. Still supports the older v1.7 version as well, so this new release should support any TFMini-s currently being sold.
- Note that the TFMini-s is required... this firmware will not work with the base TFMini sensor and has not been tested with the TFMini-plus.
General Release Notes
This project is still in its early stages. As such, it is a work-in-progress. While the firmware should work with any ESP8266 board with at least 4MB flash, it has only been tested at this point with the Wemos D1 Mini.
To see the complete parts lists that have been used and tested in this project, or for complete build details including wiring diagrams, please refer to this article: A New Parking Assistant using ESP8266 and WS2812b LEDs
If this is your first install, please read the initial installation and first time setup sections of the wiki
This will help prevent any unforeseen issues. The rest of the wiki describes how to setup and use the system. I welcome questions, comments or recommended improvements, but please post those in the comments section of the blog article linked above or in the YouTube video for this project. Please reserve the issues section of this repo for true bugs or other problems with the firmware.
Upgrading a previous version
If you are upgrading from a previous version of the firmware, you may apply this upgrade via the web application. See the wiki article Performing Updates and Upgrades for step-by-step instructions. Your settings and options should be maintained when upgrading.
Breaking Changes
- If you are working with the source code (.ino), note that this version changes the TFMini library to add support for 1.8.1 version of the TFMini. This is documented in the source code, but also changes the calls made to the library
- Functionally, there are no changes. Upgrading the firmware should keep all your existing settings.
