# powerMC - Energy and Current Measurement System An ESP32 based energy and current measurement system. Most of the code is generated by ChatGPT. ## Webserver The web server is implemented on the ESP32 and provides various endpoints for operation and display of information. Here are the defined URLs and their functions: ### URL Paths: 1. **`/` (Root)** - **Output:** HTML page with dynamic content. - **Return:** Webpage with various data and options. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Displays real-time data and provides options for configuration and control. 2. **`/json`** - **Output:** JSON data. - **Return:** JSON object with sensor values and configuration parameters. - **Format:** JSON. - **Purpose:** Provides sensor values and configuration settings in a machine-readable format. This is an example of a JSON object containing various measurement values and configuration parameters. Here is an explanation of the fields included: ```json { "busVoltage": 12.35, "shuntVoltage": 0.015, "current": 0.5, "power": 6.175, "energy": 100.25, "temperature": 25.5, "humidity": 45, "errorCode": 0, "shuntValue": 0.0001, "ina226Status": 3, "ina226ShuntValue": 0.0002, "ina226AlertFlag": 0, "ina226AlertLimit": 0, "ina226CurrentLSB": 0.0005 } ``` - `busVoltage`: The voltage at the bus in volts. - `shuntVoltage`: The voltage across the shunt resistor in volts. - `current`: The current consumption in amperes. - `power`: The power in watts. - `energy`: The energy in watt-hours of the attached battery. - `temperature`: The temperature in degrees Celsius. - `humidity`: The humidity in percentage. - `errorCode`: An error code indicating possible error conditions. - `shuntValue`: The value of the shunt resistor in ohms which is used for configuration. - `ina226Status`: The status of the INA226 initialization (setMaxCurrentShunt function call). - `ina226ShuntValue`: The value of the shunt resistor according to the INA226 chip in ohms. - `ina226AlertFlag`: A flag indicating whether a warning has been triggered by the INA226 chip. - `ina226AlertLimit`: The limit value for alerts from the INA226 chip. - `ina226CurrentLSB`: The value of the least significant bit (LSB) for the current according to the INA226 chip in amperes represents the smallest measurable current level that the INA226 chip can detect. #### Error codes in `errorCode` The variable `globalError` is used as a bitmask, where each bit represents a specific error condition. Here are the possible error codes and their meanings: | Descriptive Name | Value | Meaning | |:----------------------------|---------:|:---------------------------------------------------------| | `ERROR_NONE` | 0b00000000 | No error. The device is functioning properly, there are no errors present. | | `ERROR_MAX_CURRENT_EXCEEDED`| 0b00000001 | The maximum current consumption has been exceeded. There might be an overload condition on the device. | | `ERROR_CURRENT_BELOW_MIN` | 0b00000010 | The current consumption is below the permissible minimum. There may be an issue with the power supply. | | `ERROR_MAX_TEMP_EXCEEDED` | 0b00000100 | The maximum temperature has been exceeded. The device could overheat. | | `ERROR_TEMP_BELOW_MIN` | 0b00001000 | The temperature is below the permissible minimum. There is a risk of hypothermia or other temperature-related issues. | | `ERROR_MAX_HUMI_EXCEEDED` | 0b00010000 | The maximum humidity has been exceeded. This could lead to moisture-related problems. | | `ERROR_HUMI_BELOW_MIN` | 0b00100000 | The humidity is below the permissible minimum. There is a risk of low humidity. | |`ERROR_INA226_UNCONFIGURED` | 0b10000000 | The configuration settings for the shunt voltage and maximum current exceed the limits of the INA226 library. | Please note that multiple errors can occur simultaneously as the bitmasks can be combined. For example, `ERROR_MAX_TEMP_EXCEEDED | ERROR_MAX_HUMI_EXCEEDED` could indicate that both the maximum temperature and humidity have been exceeded. #### Error codes ina226Status | descriptive name error | value | meaning | |:------------------------------|---------:|:----------| | INA226_ERR_NONE | 0x0000 | OK | INA226_ERR_SHUNTVOLTAGE_HIGH | 0x8000 | maxCurrent \* shunt > 80 mV | INA226_ERR_MAXCURRENT_LOW | 0x8001 | maxCurrent < 0.001 | INA226_ERR_SHUNT_LOW | 0x8002 | shunt < 0.001 | INA226_ERR_NORMALIZE_FAILED | 0x8003 | not possible to normalize. #### Error codes ina226AlertLimit | description alert register | value | a.k.a. | |:---------------------------|-------:| -------:| | INA226_SHUNT_OVER_VOLTAGE | 0x8000 | SOL | | INA226_SHUNT_UNDER_VOLTAGE | 0x4000 | SUL | | INA226_BUS_OVER_VOLTAGE | 0x2000 | BOL | | INA226_BUS_UNDER_VOLTAGE | 0x1000 | BUL | | INA226_POWER_OVER_LIMIT | 0x0800 | POL | | INA226_CONVERSION_READY | 0x0400 | | 3. **`/config`** - **Output:** HTML page for configuration. - **Return:** Webpage with form fields for configuring parameters. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Allows users to customize device settings through a web interface. 4. **`/saveConfig`** - **Output:** JSON response. - **Return:** Confirmation message. - **Format:** JSON. - **Purpose:** Saves configuration changes submitted via the configuration form. 5. **`/demoMode1`** - **Output:** Redirect to root. - **Return:** Redirect to root after activating Demo Mode 1. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Initiates Demo Mode 1, simulating a specific charging scenario. 6. **`/demoMode2`** - **Output:** Redirect to root. - **Return:** Redirect to root after activating Demo Mode 2. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Initiates Demo Mode 2, simulating a specific charging scenario. 7. **`/demoMode3`** - **Output:** Redirect to root. - **Return:** Redirect to root after activating Demo Mode 3. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Initiates Demo Mode 3, simulating a specific discharging scenario. 8. **`/resetESP`** - **Output:** HTML page with restart message. - **Return:** HTML page displaying the restart process. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Initiates a restart of the ESP32 device. 9. **`/resetWifi`** - **Output:** HTML page with reset message. - **Return:** HTML page displaying the process to reset the Wi-Fi configuration. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Resets the Wi-Fi configuration and restarts the device. 10. **`/updateFirmware`** - **Output:** HTML page with firmware update options. - **Return:** HTML page displaying firmware update options. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Provides options for updating the device firmware. 11. **`/updateFirmwareAction`** - **Output:** HTML page with update status. - **Return:** HTML page displaying the firmware update process. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Initiates the firmware update process and displays the current update status in real-time. 12. **`/readUpdateFirmwareStatus`** - **Output:** HTML page with update status. - **Return:** HTML page displaying the current firmware update status. - **Format:** HTML. - **Purpose:** Provides the current update status during the firmware update process in real-time. 13. **`/css`** - **Output:** Custom CSS styles. - **Return:** CSS styles for the HTML pages. - **Format:** CSS. - **Purpose:** Provides style templates for the HTML pages.
