Compiling issues

[Nobodyman]

I have set up the project with Arduino IDE 2.
But I´m not able to compile the code.
Which library and version is used for WiFiManager?

Hi,
you can find all information in the articles.

Thank´s a lot, but I don´t find any information about which version of the mentioned modules you used.
I set up the project with VSCode and PlatformIO and I´m using the latest available module versions. After some adaptions I compiled and flashed a version and uploaded the files which are needed for the webinterface.
But if I start the webinterface in my browser it only shows a blank page.
If I look at the page source, it´s there.
Any hints what´s going wrong?
Remark: I don´t have a PCB and I used a breadboard for testing. The RS485 interface chip is not connected but this shouldn´t make trouble.

Hi,
I extract my library settings for the project.

Great, I tried to set up the project with Arduino IDE 1.8.19 with ESP8266 core 2.4.2 but I still don´t know which WiFiManager library you used.
You are using
setSTAStaticIPConfig(_ip, _gw, _sn, _dns1, _dns2)
but I don´t find any library except ESP_WiFiManager which accepts two DNS servers as parameters.
Please tell me where to get the correct library.
Thank you very much!

Hi,
read the relative article about that, and you find the link on the page already linked.
I use a custom version of WiFi Manager.

Thanks a lot for your patience, but it´s a great puzzle for me to get all details.
I used https://github.com/xreef/WiFiManager/archive/refs/heads/master.zip and https://github.com/nailbuster/esp8266FTPServer/archive/refs/heads/master.zip.
Are these the correct libraries and versions?
The result is the same as before with my PlatformIO setup.
The webpage remains empty (blank).
I think it should show a menu on the left. What am I doing wrong?

[Renzo Mischianti]

Hi,
for the WiFiManager It’s ok, but disable the FTP server with the relative define for now, It’s not useful.

Ok, I don´t use it anymore. I use your precompiled binary Aurora_Web_Inverter_Monitor.spiffs.bin instead.
The webpage is still empty.
Even if I upload all files with Arduino IDE the result is the same.

I think the issue it related to aurora-web.min.js.gz. The file is compressed but in index.html I found aurora-web.min.js. How does it work?
If I uncompress the file aurora-web.min.js.gz and start a local websever on my PC the menu is visible! But the uncompressed file doesn´t fit in SPIFFS of the ESP8266!

[Nobodyman]

Dear Renzo,
what’s about the empty page?
Is there a problem with the compiled modules or with the uploaded HTML files?

[Renzo Mischianti]

Hi,
It’s strange, che if you do something wrong with spiffs size.
The file is correct, you can have some other information about the management of gz file in this tutorial.
