It would probably easier for UniSoft to add a menu option to select the function of the current GPIO pin assigned for the "power switch" (i.e switch between power switch & OC indicator) if another GPIO cant be easily accessed.
Hope, there is one more free pin, even though the wire has to be soldered directly to the MCU package. I'd prefer to keep both relay and red LED features.
PS: UniSoft, how about to align all measured digits in a column? Seems it looks more readable. See picture. I suggest to add a new menu item: 1mA/10mA resolution. Just to do such allignment.
For that functionality additional GPIO is not required at all... Can be done with single GPIO.
Indeed. Thats a good news. Please take a look at my previous post. I was modifying it while you posted a reply

Thats a good idea. I guess when you make the output and input (to turn both LEDs off) you will have to tell us the combination of resistors to use as both LEDs might be on at the same time when output is "tri-state"
The other option is you can use the single wire addressable RGB LED (WS2812B), but you will need to make sure that you can send the burst of pulses (uninterrupted).
Thanks for you work and listening to ideas

On a 3.3 V device the voltage wouldn’t be high enough to illuminate both LEDs significantly so they would appear dark.
Resistance is not critical: something in range 2KΩ ... 2.4KΩ
1. CC/CV indicator doesn't look readable enough. Can you replace it with a green/red circle, like LED?
And by the way, here is a small bug...
In stock firmware in CC mode background of icon becomes RED (while I'am changing foreground to RED),
so I will fix it next version

I guess if there is a slight illumination of both LEDs when off, I could add a diode in series with the lowest Vfd LED (and adjust the resistor). This would compensate if required
Maybe someone can enlighten me. I read through the whole thread but i can't find out how to go to the second setup menu. I can only see SHIFT + MENU, but no idea where to set colors and fonts etc ...
Thanks

Hi all, I just found this thread and haven't read through all 400 posts, so forgive me if this has already been posted.
First, UniSoft - truly awesome work!
I can't help but read your replies with a russian villain voice in my head, like in a Bond movie.
In post
#280 you asked for a "good small embeddable power supply".
I've used these with good results:
HLK-PMx.
If it's just there to power some logic an a small relay I think it would be fine.
My 2 cents.
Do you need the CR1220 for the RTC to get the wifi to work? I can't get it to pair (RD6012)
Wifi module led flashes when powered on but have confirmed it's not broadcasting with a wifi scanner
No, that is independent. The battery is only for the RTC. You can run WiFi without that.
Ok good to know, thanks
The WiFi setup is rather non standard: it wants to connect to the "host" address (the mobile device + app) used at init time.
Sorry I should have been more clear. I can confirm that the ESP8266 is not broadcasting, so it is impossible for pc or phone to send the setup information to the device. Clearly my module is faulty
FYI this method is used in many devices to set up wifi. I wouldn't call it non standard at all
Sure, the method you mention (which is indeed the method used here AFAIK), is used to set up many devices indeed. I have also used it in my products. However:
1) this device, when non-configured, sets up a hidden SSID. So depending on the method you use, you might not be able to see it. It is to that SSID the mobile app connects to, to set your AP's SSID/pwd (and more). So far so good. The non standard part comes here:
2) I was referring to the method used once the init has been successfully done at least once, so after the configuration of the SSID by the mobile app. The fact that it wants to reconnect to the exact IP address that the device that did the configuration had at config time, is rather non standard I would say. To be explicit, the IP address shown at startup (once the setup is done), is NOT the Riden's IP address (that will be via DHCP), but the address it wants to connect to, the address of the device that configured it. You can imagine the potential problems with that. Many people report having to redo the setup from time to time, as can be expected.
BTW, My phrasing above was a bit condensed, with a bad choice of the word "setup", where I should have used "method of operations". I understand the confusion. Edited.
If the module is faulty however, it appears (I have not checked, but see the pages in this thread I referred to) the ESP8266 is a regular non-reprogrammed ESP8266 12-F, using the standard firmware many come with. And if your replacement doesn't work, the stock firmware can be found on those pages as well.

Menu Home (Home pictogram).
click: SHIFT -> MENU -> RIGHT -> UP (or list BOTTOM)
Thanks. I feel really stupid, but I still can't solve it.
I press Shift+Menu. It brings me to the screen where there are four symbols on the bottom. Settings, Home, Disk and Info.
I press RIGHT. The HOME symbol turns RED, and I see a screen with the actual layout in yellow, and the osci-type layout in white. If I know press UP - nothing happens. If I press ENTER is turns RED, but then I can do nothing else.
I'm lost

Stock firmware doesn't have that functionality!
You need flash custom firmware...

Of course. I just checked and it shows Firmware: V1.32, and it's your mod flashed.
Maybe I did something wrong. I will reflash.

My fault. Seems I flashed back the original firmware
Sorry for the hassle. All working fine now. Thanks
Dear Unisoft
"CC/CV indicator doesn't look readable enough"
I ask you:
My idea is : Could it be written in the firmware an extra function , that in CC mode there is an "H" level on an output (in CV mode "L" level) to control an external RED led on one of the CPU unused port , or the either pin on J2 connector ?

"CC/CV indicator doesn't look readable enough"
I comment it already...

There is only one unused GPIO... not connected pin...
And I am already planing to install RED LED under ON/OFF button...
Actually I already mount an LED (it is easy, cut the track, and drill the hole), but still not decide where exactly to connect (it will depends on initial state of GPIO).
I am not at home now (working in another city), and don't have RD with me, maybe go back home after 2 weeks...
Then can continue my work on firmware...
Slightly off topic ... recently received a RD6018 with box and 800 Watt power slab. Does the RD6018 run the same firmware as the RD6006?
Thanks for the pointer. I have loaded up your RD6018 1.33.1 firmware and so far so good. It still claims to be "1.33" but the screen looks different and at start-up the quick green scan through the bottom left row of buttons is new. If I find any issues I will report back.
Hi unisoft i really like your firmware, it made ruideng RD series a very good and usable power supply.
I tried the firmware of RD6006, RD6012 and RD6018 all beautiful and functional, I would be very happy if it was possible to insert the support to have these two additional functions
:
- via a pin the remote on / off control of the power supply configurable as a pulse for switching on and off, as logic level 1 for on, or logic level 0 for on
.
I could produce the wiring diagram with optocoupler to fit the pin input
- SCPI support even only for on / off and reading of main parameters
.
thanks greetings to all
