It's finally here. The project is "complete". I have done what I set out to do, I've built the "Pimp My Ride" version of a trophy. The final step was to build it a web-app so the new owner (and every troll that gets bored) can control the trophy.
Its been a long day of troubleshooting and coding so I'll give a rough outline of what I did and a link to the final product.
- Arduino Sketch
- Connecting the Feather to the Internet
- I used AIO (AdaFruit IO)
- Built an AIO dashboard with all the feeds I'd need
- A Color Picker and 4 Buttons
- Used the "NeoPixel" example sketch from the AIO Arduino Library
- NeoPixel Animations
- Using the AdaFruit NeoPixel Library
- Using ideas and many items from the "StrandTest" example
- Connecting the Feather to the Internet
- Node App
- Linked functionality into AIO using REST requests.
- Created a holder site to host it on
This is a pretty rough outline, but if anyone has any questions let me know. The code isn't in good shape right now, it was more of a proof of concept for the time being.
For those curious, here is the site that is actively connected to the trophy: www.gamenightchamp.com
All files for this project can be found in the Files section. I will include the node requirements (listed in the top of index.js) in my instructions once I get there.
ToDo: Write build instructions.
