  • Modul CBU, BK7231N
    Device dimensions: diameter 40 mm, thickness 15 mm.
    The power cable is two-core, about 1 m, non-pluggable.
    For firmware - standard procedure, soldered to the pads marked on the board.
    To reset, the CEN output, soldered the output to gnd, when starting the firmware, I touch the module output directly, because it is problematic to solder, the LED lens is in the immediate vicinity.
    Matching contacts:
    P8 - IR receiver
    P7 - IR transmitter
    P24 - led
    P26 - button

    Good job with flashing that device. I am just wondering, how are you going to use the button?

    Remember that you can easily script it in OpenBeken. It could do everything, you can handle click, onclick, hold, etc events, anyway you want.

    You can enter an IRSend here.

    hi, i have the same chipset to flash. can you tell me if your points on the rx and tx board are connected to the CBU to tx1/rx2 or tx2/rx2? because I have to connect directly to the CBU.

    RX1/TX1 is used for flashing and TX2 is a debug log output

    This is what we need, 1.

    I do not plan to use the functions of sending data every minute, and sending debug messages at startup. But sometimes, I assume, you will need to connect to the device's web interface, and its IP may be forgotten, lost, etc.
    I plan to send the current IP to the MQTT broker on my devices that have such a button when it is clicked.

    I added a read firmware to the first post, pristine, never turned on.

    Hello all,

    I need help with this device to see if its properly configured or maybe defective.

    I got it flashed with tuya-cloudcutter, then flashed via OTA to version 1.17.767

    My pins configuration are
    "7": "IRSend;0",
    "8": "IRRecv;0",
    "24": "LED;0",
    "26": "Btn;0"

    And everything is working except IRSend. I tried Samsung TV and lamp remote, there is no light output on mobile camera (front or back).

    Button, Wifi LED and IRRecv all works perfectly fine, I can receive IR, toggle wifiled and button press is visible in Logs.

    Triggering in GPIO PIN 7 does not light up LEDs.

    Can someone recommend what to test out? I'm sending simple NEC IRSend which is read fine from device
    Debug:IR:IR decode returned true, protocol 7
    Debug:IR:Address=0x80 Command=0x1

    Info:IR:IR send NEC 0x80 0x1 0 protocol 7 addr 0x80 cmd 0x1 repeats 0 bits override 0

    No light output and no response from lamp.

    Maybe IR Send LED requires an extra pin to be set to High? How is it connected?

    I'm not sure, everything should be the same as in first post, how I can check how it's connected?
