Great Video. "Rescued" a whole batch of Moes light switches just received from Ali Express. Previous batches were flashable...these ones arrived with the nasty little WB3Ss. Deep breath, bought the Hot air rework station, a few ESP12Fs and the code burner. Wrecked the 1st one (too much force lifting the WB3S). The rest all very successful once I had a feel for force v temperature v time. Thanks from the UK!

Yay! Great job! Yes I was nervous on my first one as well and even that the second or third wasn't perfect but patience is definitely key. Another tip is apply some flux to the chip to help it flow and sometimes I will actually apply leaded solder to the joints already there as that solder helps the old flow faster.

Just about passed out, like yours, the fuse was on the NEUTRAL wire! Fuse blows, ALL STILL LIVE! ADDITIONALLY, in my unit, the case WAS NOT GROUNDED!!!! All fixed! FYI: while working on 'TreatLife Single Pole ON/OFF Switch - SS02S (purchased March 2022) found the new Tuya WB3S chip and found that the 'SS02_LED Board V1.1, dated 2019-01-19, [like others noted] EN has VCC applied, GPIO15 has a 1K resistor to ground, a 'Restart' button is attached to RST, GPIO14 has a soldered pad and a trace that goes to a Not Connected pin (nowhere?) also that Tx and Rx have NO pads and are NOT soldered to the PCB. [Forgot to add; the SS02_LED Board' has no additional processor, just resistors, caps, buttons and led, the mother board has a power supply and relay] Thanks again, you saved me from a potentially NASTY shock!

You would need to wire the buttons to an actual GPIO pin on the main MCU chip to enable multipress stuff.

@@digiblurDIY ok, so it can send on/off single press from MCU...but not multi press. I am truly limited by hardware for this device? Thanks again
@digiblurDIY9 ай бұрын
Yes. It has a secondary MCU that handles all the button pushes. Sucks for anything multipress. If you want a dimmer with no secondary MCU check this one out digiblur.com/wiki/devices/dimmers/martin_jerry_mj-sd01_pwm_dimmer

Seeing you did this a year ago, Love it! have a Tuya device that was pretty good (cloud Tuya iot) for a free month. Tuya local may be local, but requires the iot to get it going. One email per month. Definitely going to go through some more vids and did hit the Sub button. Let's see what else you got. End.. Got an adventurer on your hands there! Great parenting.

It is not too hard to unsolder modules without hot air. I've had success with running a thick copper wire along all the pads, add a lot of solder, and then zip back and forth with a soldering iron on high heat till the module fell off. Does have the risk of components inside the module getting dislodged too, but who cares about that ;-)

Definitely always different ways to do it. That one sounds cool. Might have to try it.

By "thick copper wire", did you perhaps mean desoldering wick/braid that is made to remove solder?
@JohnnieHougaardNielsen3 жыл бұрын
@@unmeshagarwala8156 No, what I used was solid 1.5 mm wire from a installation-grade mains cable, in the expectation of this providing good heat capacity and conduction for even heat on all the pads.

Liked the video! I've come across a couple of devices lately with the WB2S module (:developer.tuya.com/en/docs/iot/wb2s-module-datasheet?id=K9ghecl7kc479 ), and just broke it off and soldered wires to the pads going to an 8266 module. Not as clean, but, as long as there's enough room in the case to stuff the module, it works.

I tried replacing a WBS2 module as well just this week, flashed an ESP12-F with Tasmota, but ran into problems with the ESP module repeatedly crashing on boot. I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've got GPIO15 pulled to ground, and GPIO0, GPIO2, RST, and EN all pulled to VCC (all with 10K resistors), so I shouldn't have any floating pins. Anybody have any ideas?
