Thank you, can you also post JSON configs from Web App so I can just copy-paste them to our devices list? Futhermore, are you sure that you got BK7231N in a WB3S form? Usually WB3S i BK7231T, and CB3S... [Read more]

Sorry, checked it again and you are right: Both of them are BK7231T. I have corrected my post. Sure, I will add the JSON code shortly. [Read more]

p.kaczmarek2 01 Sep 2023 12:12

Okay, no problem, I was just asking because we really already had a batch of devices that were using CB2S with BK7231T inside , which was very, very strange and confusing for our users, because you have... [Read more]

JSONs were added to our teardowns list. Thank you! Now we have more than 400 devices in our Elektroda database! [Read more]

In case you have a TH06 but the JSON posted in this thread doesn't work for you, maybe it's because you have the same PCB but a different Wi-Fi module. See here for more details. [Read more]

Please send the original firmware here I need any version except 2.0.0 . I write through a translator so there may be errors, thank you in advance. S06CB3S [Read more]

Hello, in case it's suitable for you (or anybody else), I've added the original FW of my device to my other post about it . Anyway, take into account that my device has a WB3S module instead of the... [Read more]

You can import pins that way: Or here is standalone converter: https://openbekeniot.github.io/webapp/templateImporter.html [Read more]

You need to set Flag 14 in the config>Configure General/Flags and then it will publish IR codes to <dev id>/ir/get https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/6108401700_1710023909_thumb.jpg [Read more]

I have one of these devices (CB3S, BK7231N), but I am confused about how this is supposed to be flashed. According to the second youtube video in this thread I should connect TX1, RX1 and GROUND pin... [Read more]

baudneo 15 Jul 2024 22:30

If it's not entering bootloader mode on its own, then try the CEN to ground method. [Read more]

carlig833 15 Jul 2024 22:53

Thanks for answer. Unfortunatly the CEN to GROUND trick does not work either. What is nonsense to me is having the device powered separately via its own USB cable, but also connected via USB-to-UART. Would... [Read more]

baudneo 15 Jul 2024 23:19

Yes, you can power it from the usb to TTL converter. The usb power is just for convenience. I haven't had any issues flashing obk to several devices now, sounds like maybe there's a hardware issue or... [Read more]

p.kaczmarek2 16 Jul 2024 11:30

I'm afraid that you actually can't reliably power it from USB to UART converter. It does not have enough current capability. In our videos, we always use external 3.3V supply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6d42IMGhHw&list=PLzbXEc2ebpH0CZDbczAXT94BuSGrd_GoM ... [Read more]
