Making WiFiManager compatible with MySensors 2.3.2

October 6, 2021

Its not bug but a workaround just in case if any one is searching for solution. I was successfully using WiFiManager with MySensors 2.3.1 but after upgrading from MySensors 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 i was unable to compile ESP8266 gateway sketch and had error

Arduino: 1.8.10 (Windows 10), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Flash, Legacy (new can return nullptr), All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 4MB (FS:2MB OTA:~1019KB), 2, v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 115200"

To fix this iissue you need to comment out MySensors code in two location in core/MyGatewayTransportEthernet.cpp may be there is better way but this is quick fix. Comment out line 49 to 55

/*

Default way to resizing SD card with raspi-config is not going to work on USB SSD disk so we have to do this old fashion i.e. command line fdisk. Let change partition table with fdisk. You need to remove exiting partition entries and then create a new partition that takes the all the free space on the disk we have. This will only change the disk partition table not the data on the disk. First Part of this post about:…

I was given a RPi 2 model B as a gift and looking for something to do with it came across PiHome. That turned out to be a bit over ambitious – I have no knowledge of RPi or programming and it is 40 years since I experimented with simple DOS commands. This guide is intended for anyone with my lack of skills that likes the idea of using this project to control their home heating with a wired setup.…
