The project consists of an ESP8266 module which is programmed into MicroPython. For some reason, the Blynk library can not be loaded onto my module for RAM, so I had to use the Blynk API. The ESP8266 measures the temperature and humidity of the...
Project tool sponsorship: I was approached by a representative from Digitspace that offered to provide some tools in return for mentioning them in a project. I haven't done business with them as a normal customer. The name-brand items including...
Introduction WS2812b addressable RGB LEDs are devices widely used in lighting projects. They are found in the format of LED matrices and strips. LED strips, for example, are widely used in decorative lighting, luminaire construction and many other applications....
DataThe first step was to get the solar data from my Growatt 3000MTL inverter online into pvoutput.org, which is a great tool for uploading and comparing PV data. The method for getting the data into pvoutput is beyond the scope of this project (but...
This was a bit of a fun project - I've seen on the movies (or maybe Scooby Doo) pictures where the eyes follow you and wanted something similar in my house. Also, from a practical standpoint, I often get caught out without an umbrella in rainy England...
I built a clock like this earlier using ancient OSRAM smart displays, but I wondered if the ESP8266 Arduino code was fast and flexible enough to run a six-digit multiplexed Nixie clock. Because I had done this with my earlier clock, I added the a Bosch...
This is not going to be a comprehensive project, but a list of things I discovered while getting a ESP8266-12E to run Lua, which may help you get going. If you are already using ESP8266 or NodeMCU you already know these things, nothing for you here....
GalagaIoTCreating a web based IoT Galaga high scores capture seemed like a worthwhile project. There are some good solutions that already exist that include JROKs fine Galaga Enhancement pack but it is bordering on unobtanium (for me in Aus) and does...
ESPboy is open-source (most software is under MIT license) and open-hardware (CERN license) project. OSHWA certification record Openhardware.io record ESPboy is a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics [STEM] learning platform which encourages...
The Pico WiFi HAT attaches to the back of your Raspberry Pi and uses an ESP8266 high integration wireless SoC to connect to 2.4GHz wireless networks and transfer data. Pico WiFi HAT also includes a 1.14-inch display with a resolution of 240 x 135 pixels,...
GE discontinued the famous G35 hacker friendly addressable RGB led Christmas lights. After buying 7 different brands I found one at Home Depot that was easily reversed. I planned to run it off of an esp8266, nodemcu wasn't fast enough so it is run off...
In this Lora project tutorial, I have shown how to make the LoRa Project using the Arduino ESP8266 control relay with real-time feedback. So after turning on and off the appliances the receiver circuit will send feedback to the transmitter circuit...
This project is to enable remote control, monitoring and auto-restart after 24H of my hot tub pump. The hot tub is an early Bestway Lay Z Spa which has an external pump / heater / filter. The filtration pump and heater turn off after 24 hours (manufacturer...
The display (which also serves as the main structural element) comprises 3x Neopixel 8x8 panels. This element was originally going to be fulfilled by colourduinos but they didnt offer satisfactory results despite the higher pixel density and having square...
What?Pixel8 is a digital canvas comprised by a matrix of 256 ultra-bright LED pixels. Each LED pixel can be individually controlled to display millions (24-bit) of colors, so they're perfect for displaying 'LED (pixel) art' such as your favorite...
