found it. Geez what a hassle
PlatformIO has moved some of the options around in version 5, so the video is a little out of date.
We discussed this on this post… Platform IO V5 "Upload file system image" option moved - #6 by f0m3
Thanks for responding.
I started with v3 and it worked for me. v4 seems scattered kind of all over the place.
Also, in v3, you received the success screen after you connect to your network. v4 you get nothing.
But that’s off topic
Thanks again
Agree, the project grew rapidly and the code and hardware files are not organised as well as they could be.
The problem now, is that a lot of videos and instructions mention the files as they are now, so if I change it, all those become obsolete.
Maybe a ‘Changes in procedure’ chat.
Maybe version 4.0.0, small changes would be 4.0.1, larger changes 4.1.0. The original is what I’m working with, the 1W resistors. I see the small changes in the circuit design basically to save money and time for folks, Personally I don’t think it was necessary to complicate this project that way. The saving time/money version should have been given an alternate name, not an updated name like v4S.1.1 or v4J.0.3. That way the original version 4 is not confused with the JLC version. So when there is an update to the main structure of v4, it can be spread out among the other versions (if necessary).
When I see this project moving from v3 to v4 I expect a pretty big change. When I see v4 updated to v4.1 I expect to see a moderate change. When it keeps changing (v4.2, v4.21 etc.) I’m beginning to get lost. I expect to see relatively moderate to major changes in the circuit design, but that is not the case so I end up somewhat confused.
What you’ve done here is awesome! Don’t think it’s forgotten. Myself and many others would agree this project you’ve created is quite amazing.

I havent been on here for a long time due to covid and feel sorry to ask the forums advise again but i am still having problems programing my DiyBms controller.
The problem seems to be that the compile hangs forever ie left it over night. I have now three different D1 mini pro’s esp8266 but none of them i can program.
I am guessing VSCode is ok as i have managed to program the cell modules v4.21 without any problems.
I have tried to upload the code didnt work and also just tried building the code also, but still nothing.
I have followed step by step Sturat’s programing guide but i am having now luck using VSCode also i have downloaded the code again just to make sure its not got currupted.
I am sure i must be doing something silly so any help would be very much appresiated
I think you need to also upload the file system. It’s located under Platformio
below advanced and network development.
Good Morning Fred,
Oh ok still new to this but learning wasnt sure if you ment the top half of the screen or not but added it as thought couldnt do any harm, I have looked under all the tabs within Platformio but dont see a advanced or network develoment tab?
I am using version VSCODE 1.49.3?
Cheers
Take a look at this
Just edited my post with the Uploaded filesystem image
Thank You for your help Sturat its much appresiated.

I dont know if this is the place for it, but when i open platform io,open the workspace, choose the d1minipro i dont have the platform pulldown menu?
I am able to"clean" but all other options result in error termination with error code 1?
What can I be doing wrong?
Thanks in anticipation
It’s likely that platform Io isn’t working right. Perhaps an update or reboot may help?
I did reboots, fresh install, with reboot after deleting and cleaning up folders. And also tested on a different pc, same story.
With and without wemos attached, i see “platform” or possibilty to choose upload file system image…
Perhaps i can try on a different machine tomorrow
Today I tried a third computer, without the wemos attached, still no “upload file system image” to be found.
Could it be that this is due to a change in code about 9 days ago? Or am I really doing something wrong? 
Hi Maarten, the option should be there. Have you successfully compiled the code? Is the upload option there?

Hi Stuart,
I have the uplouad option, but not upload filesystem image…
I do have some progress though…I updated the driver for my wemos d1 mini pro clone. It is on com4.
I change that in platformio, because it was on com3, then I hit upload and it said it was missing something from github, (sorry cant remeber wat is was… ;( ), I did that, and now, I get less errors.
I still do not have upload file system image, but now I could succesfulle clea, build and “upload”, accoording to platformio, with succes.
I havethe wemos, not on a controllerboard…waiting on the slow boat , but I can see its SSID and connect to it. But when I navigate to 192.168.4.1 it lotries to load “softap.htm” and gives error code 500, page not working.
Does it really need the controller board pcd and hardware to be able to display this?
I know i read in the main forum, you could hardcode the ssid and pasww but I cannot seem to find that post now…
The wemos definitly is a clone (i think 4mb) and I know it used to work with DiyBMSv3 code.
Have you got any ideas?
Thanks i anticipation
Maarten
You don’t need the PCB for the controller web page to appear, but you do need the filesystem upload option.
Have you tried updating the platform Io core, it’s in one of the menu options.
Yes I have, but I did find:
platformio/contrib-pysite 2.37.191020 @ ~2.37.0 [Incompatible 2.39.201019]
Not sure what it means exactly though…
Ok, I am seriously flabbergasted…
I am sure I already updated everything and refreshed project tasks multiple times
But I did that one more, and now the tab “platform” and upload file system image " did finally appear,
got the right page, seemes to work now, thanks!
