RF + IR gateway not possible anymore in ESP32?

Theengs OpenMQTTGateway Radio frequencies gateways 315mhz, 433mhz, 868mhz
1

Hi,

I am using two IR+RF gateway’s with OMG version 0.9.16 for almost 2 years now and decided to upgrade one to OMG 1.6.0 or 1.7.0 but do not get it working anymore.
I have tried >10 times with erasing and flashing ESP Easy (to check if the EPS32 still worked) but was not able to flash OMG anymore.

Hardware: ESP32 WROOM 32 + CC1101 module and IR receiver/transmitter.

Anyone with a clue how to fix this, please help me. I use my OMG 0.9.16 on a daily basis and would like to upgrade and use the RAW RF reception. That is because I have a Smartwares SH4-99580AT remote which I would like to use with OMG and version 0.9.16 does not recognize a stable RTL_433 signal from each button.

Edit 17-12-'23: I noticed that also main.ino gives these 3 problem warnings although I did not change this file:
identifier “setupCommonRF” is undefined C/CC++(20) [Ln 1196, Col 3]

I have build a new configuration from scratch by first downloading the zip again and deleting all my previous tries.

I’ve created below personal environment file prod_env_IRF.ini and used PlatformIO to make a build.

But it gets stuck in a build loop with some “multiple definition” errors in the firmware.elf.

example of such error:
Linking .pio\build\rfbridge\firmware.elf
c:/.platformio/packages/toolchain-xtensa/bin/…/lib/gcc/xtensa-lx106-elf/10.3.0/…/…/…/…/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin/ld.exe: .pio\build\rfbridge\src\main.ino.cpp.o:(.data.mqtt_topic+0x0): multiple definition of `mqtt_topic’; .pio\build\rfbridge\src\main.cpp.o:(.data.mqtt_topic+0x0):
first defined here

Now I am about to give up unless someone can point out what I keep doing wrong. It took me again almost a full day of waiting and trying.

PLEASE anybody help me, it seems impossible to build my own configuration with at least the RF, RF2 and IR gateways.

Stupid me, the file must be called exactly prod_env.ini and not prod_env*.ini.
Now it all works! I’m so relieved.

The * is just there so the existing example file is not being recognised already as a personal environment file, otherwise you can use any personalised naming, as long as it ends in _env.ini
hobby_env.ini
prod_hobby_env.ini
hobby_testing_env.ini
…

especially if you want to have several personal environment files, like for testing and then for final production purposes.

Great you got it working now.

Yeah that was not clear for me. I named it prod_env_IRF.ini and then it doesn’t work.
Now it’s clear and it is all so obvious and stupid that I didn’t find out this earlier :wink:

It is really a great project and I’m very happy with how it performs!
