MR60FDA1 with ESP?

Products & Technology
#1

Hello,

can someone help me to read the MR60FDA1 with an ESP8266 or ESP32. What pins should I use and do I need to do something in the code?

ok, if I connect the sensor correctly, it works, with softserial.

You actually don’t need to use softserial for this, at least with an ESP32, you can just set it to Serial2 and either chose the pins or use pins 16/17 which are Serial 2 by default. Assuming you’re using the Seeed example code libraries with Arduino IDE. If you’re using the ESP with ESPHome, UART works the same as hardwareserial on Arduino… more or less.
