Hi

I was looking at Wiki to know how to wire my FTDI adapter on it but discovered mine doesn't have same board as the one in Wiki here: https://bitbucket.org/xoseperez/espurna/wiki/Hardware#markdown-header-magic-home-led-controller
Here are few pictures of it if it can help ??

Thanks!

I started this controller to work (2.0 PCB) and 1.4 version of PCB. Currently i am trying (since i'm discovering git repository) to create a pull request with the code changes and push the graphics with the description. If i will don't do this then i will send an email to the developer about the changes.

Thanks a lot ;) Would you mind to share the graphics with description here in meantime ? or post an update here when Wiki is updated so I'm sure I don't miss it !!

@gimi87 Some news about share of documents here or progress with developer ?

I've successfully flashed this v2.0 board !

While mine has an IR input, wiring must be the same because I've directly soldered to the ESP module (as you can see on the photo).

Notice that with this board I had to change the GPI order in hardware.h :

#!arduino

    #define LIGHT_CH1_PIN       5     // RED
    #define LIGHT_CH2_PIN       12    // GREEN
    #define LIGHT_CH3_PIN       13    // BLUE

happy hacking

I'm so sorry for waiting. I was too busy. Yes this is the correct wiring to program the controller.
BUT... of course there is a few tricks to program:

1. You need to connect 12V to the 2.1/5.5 white DC jack
2. You need to bind GPIO0 to GND and then power up
3. Connect Rx (board side) to the Tx of programmer, and of course Tx to Rx (cross rx/tx paths)
4. Sometimes it will not program the board until you will reset the board again.

So my solution is to use a RST and GPIO0 pin attached to the "dedicated" programmer (like a Witty board or NodeMcu board) which can control additional pins.

I attached my code and some graphics with the pin description (and for 1.4 of PCB).

-> config/hardware.h

#!arduino

#elif defined(MAGICHOME_LED_CONTROLLER_2_0)

    // Info
    #define MANUFACTURER        "MAGICHOME"
    #define DEVICE              "LED_CONTROLLER_2_0"
    #define RELAY_PROVIDER      RELAY_PROVIDER_LIGHT
    #define LIGHT_PROVIDER      LIGHT_PROVIDER_DIMMER
    #define DUMMY_RELAY_COUNT   1

    // Channels
    #define LIGHT_CH1_PIN       5       // RED
    #define LIGHT_CH2_PIN       12     // GREEN
    #define LIGHT_CH3_PIN       13     // BLUE
    #define LIGHT_CH4_PIN       15     // WHITE

    #define LIGHT_CH1_INVERSE   0
    #define LIGHT_CH2_INVERSE   0
    #define LIGHT_CH3_INVERSE   0
    #define LIGHT_CH4_INVERSE   0

-> hardware.ino

#!arduino

#elif defined(MAGICHOME_LED_CONTROLLER_2_0)

        setSetting("board", 39);
        setSetting("relayProvider", RELAY_PROVIDER_LIGHT);
        setSetting("lightProvider", LIGHT_PROVIDER_DIMMER);
        setSetting("chGPIO", 1, 5);
        setSetting("chGPIO", 2, 12);
        setSetting("chGPIO", 3, 13);
        setSetting("chGPIO", 4, 15);
        setSetting("chLogic", 1, 0);
        setSetting("chLogic", 2, 0);
        setSetting("chLogic", 3, 0);
        setSetting("chLogic", 4, 0);
        setSetting("relays", 1);

Thank you very much, very detailed explanation.
Added your code to dev branch (901ffa7). Will release it soon.
