I have followed the exact process as I understand it, but cannot get the Chocolate to connect. I will persevere and hope to get the display next, once conquered!! Great job!
Is it a Chocolate, or Chocolate Plus? The Plus won't work yet, only added code support yesterday. Did you flash the Client mode firmware? Server mode won't work for this. Is the chocolate already paired to some other device? You would need to unpair it first, so the Chocolate blue led is flashing. You could also check on a phone and make sure you can see "FootCtrl" being available as a Bluetooth device (this is the Chocolate)
@@gregsmith1526 I've checked everything too, but the bluetooth on the chocolate keeps blinking and I can't connect. What should I do? Thank you in advance.
Hello Greg, My Chocolate Plus has arrived, and I finally managed to test the system with the Esp32-s3-zero. I used the release V1.0.3.2, and so far, it connected quickly to the Bluetooth of the Chocolate Plus, and I was able to switch the presets of the Tonex One. However, the problem is that no sound comes out of the pedal. When I did a test using a 9V power source along with the USB, I noticed that as soon as I disconnect the USB, the sound starts coming out through the output again. But when I reconnect and change the presets, the sound stops again. Do you have any idea what might be happening? I’ve redone the process several times, but nothing changes for now. Is there a specific mode I should configure on the Chocolate Plus? It is currently set to "Program Change A." Appreciate your help!
I haven't seen or heard of anyone finding one yet, but I just did some searching and came up with this one: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6758917 I'll print one and see how it goes
Hello Greg, this is fantastic work. I just got the Esp32-s3-zero and I am eager to test it out. One question : Do you provide power the ToneX One from the ESP32 device ?
Hi. Refer to the Github page, I have some more info and pictures, but yes the ESP32 gets a 5V DC power input, and it puts that same voltage out of the USB-C port and is able to power the Tonex One from it
The Waveshare 4.3B is the one that the code supports. The UI is designed for its resolution and display driver. The other possibility would be to use the Waveshare Zero board, and attach a small LCD/Oled screen to it. That would need coding though. Not supported in the current code.
Hello Greg, would it be possible for you to explain in the code where the serial codes for the tonex are? I would like to implement the use of more buttons on the Esp32-s3 zero so that I don't have to use the chocolate.
@@eduardonogueira6441 hi. Serial codes as in the usb communications? The footswitches module has support for next/previous wired buttons. Are you thinking of having more, for example 4 buttons like the chocolate?
Unfortunately it doesn't work... The Chocolate connects but does not change presets.. The preset only changes during ESP32 boot... Is there a way to do a factory reset and try another firmware? Thank you !!
@@eduardonogueira6441 hi. The Zero could have more buttons added, but the 4.3 display version doesn't have any more spare pins. Could use bigger bluetooth pedal though
@gregsmith1526 Excellent... I have a usb controller with atmega 32, I still have some buttons here I could use, I think it's more practical than chocolate. I'll check the code to insert and these buttons. Thanks
Hi. Waveshare (and others) do make smaller screen models. The UI design however only works on screens that are 800 x 480 pixel resolution and landscape mode. The Waveshare 2.8" is lower resolution and portrait mode. Waveshare 1.91" Amoled is 240x536. The various watch-sized ones are around 240x240. All are possible but would need a redesign of the entire UI.
Congratulations!!!
Perfect
That is great! Genius

Amazing stuff Greg! Is there a housing for the Waveshare Zero you can recommend? That looks like trouble on stage uncovered.
I haven't seen or heard of anyone finding one yet, but I just did some searching and came up with this one: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6758917

What low-cost display do you recommend? It doesn't have to be a touchscreen.
The Waveshare 4.3B is the one that the code supports. The UI is designed for its resolution and display driver.
The other possibility would be to use the Waveshare Zero board, and attach a small LCD/Oled screen to it. That would need coding though. Not supported in the current code.
Actually what would you think about this kind of thing: www.waveshare.com/product/esp32-s3-lcd-1.69.htm

@@eduardonogueira6441 hi. Serial codes as in the usb communications? The footswitches module has support for next/previous wired buttons. Are you thinking of having more, for example 4 buttons like the chocolate?
@gregsmith1526 My ideia is to put 4 footswitchs and config the same form to chocolate
@eduardonogueira6441 sounds fair. I m working on a configuration web page, which would help with this. I'll see what I can do
Unfortunately it doesn't work...
The Chocolate connects but does not change presets..
The preset only changes during ESP32 boot...
Is there a way to do a factory reset and try another firmware?
Thank you !!
Have you put the Tonex One into Stomp mode? This is required.
To try another firmware, just load it again the same way. V1.0.3.2 is the best to use.
WOW, it works now!!!
Sorry but I didn't realize it had to be in "Stomp mode"..
Thank you so much!!!
I might have missed something, is there a way of getting the Chocolate switching the Tonex One without the use of a phone/tablet (or display screen) ?
@@paulizzyrollins yes, the Waveshare Zero is a tiny pcb with no display.. no phone needed anywhere
@ thanks. I’ve ordered the waveshare, chocolate and power cable. I will attempt to do this on the weekend
The ESP32-S3 Zero client file contains version 3.9.5 of the download tool. But the latest appears to be 3.9.7. Should I use the 3.9.7 version?
@@steveliberty it would be safer to use the one in the zip, as that is what I tested. I'll look at updating the tool for the next release
Does It's possible put more buttons?
@@eduardonogueira6441 hi. The Zero could have more buttons added, but the 4.3 display version doesn't have any more spare pins. Could use bigger bluetooth pedal though

@@robertodotes8109 yes. Check the hardware platforms page on github. One is the Waveshare Zero, tiny board with no display
