IoT GitHub Frame is a photo frame with built-in device based on the ESP32 module. This project will help you track the popularity of selected GitHub repository. You will be able to follow live the number of stargazers, watchers and forks. The frame can also display the number of daily stargazers. Simple configuration, automatic updates via HTTPS OTA, stability of operation. These are just some of the advantages of this project. The frame will look great on the wall in your home or office.

Check out the GitHub page for more details.

    STEP 2

    Solder electronic components to the PCB as in the picture below. Soldering start from the lowest elements. For connecting displays and LEDs use angled connectors.

    After finishing soldering, your board should look similar to this one

    STEP 3

    In the printouts folder you will find print templates that will help you drill holes:

    Print them and then tape back template to the back of the frame and side template on the right edge of the frame. Use the appropriate drills to drill the holes. Cut the holes for the displays and the button with a knife.

    Insert the displays and diodes in the holes using hot glue.

    That's how it should look from the front

Thank you. At the beginning I used plain paper. But I got a better effect by covering the display with photo paper.

  Are you sure? yes | no

This is really cool, I like the combination of printed paper template with the LEDs.
