In the category ESPEasy you will find all articles that deal with the installation, configuration and operation of ESPEasy.
I am not sure whether ESPs can really be abused to set up a botnet. Either way, you shouldn’t neglect the issue of security, even with the small ESPEasy devices. […]
Read moreThe VL53L0x or its sister / brother, the VL53L1X is a very precise and relatively inexpensive laser distance sensor. With this, distances can be measured almost at millimeter-accuracy. In one […]
Read moreThe BME280 is one of the sensors that I use in almost all of my projects. With this sensor one can not only measure the temperature. The air humidity and […]
Read moreESPEasy can read out a large number of different sensors and / or control actuators (see also ESPEasy – Sensors & Actuators). With the help of the “Rules” it is […]
Read moreI recently built an extraction system for my soldering station and the chamber of my 3D printer. The built extraction system has two connections. One of them sucks the air […]
Read moreEspecially if your own circuit has a display to show values, the next step is often to connect an interface option. You can connect buttons or switches. A relatively cool […]
Read moreThe PCA9685 is quite a practical IC. This is connected to the microcontroller (e.g. ESP8266) via I2C and can then control up to 16 individual PWM channels. You can control […]
Read moreThere are some situations in which connecting an LDR to an ESP makes sense. In this way, the brightness in a room can be measured relatively easily and for little […]
Read moreI started with the documentation of the pxlBlcks (which I had been postponed for a too long time) in November 2020 after Hackaday.com had announced the “GoodBye 2020” challenge. (More […]
Read moreThe pxlBlck_RingClock is very similar to the pxlBlck_SlotClock. It is also built using a 1 × 60 LED matrix and can display the time according to the same scheme as […]
Read moreThe pxlBlck_8x8 was one of the first members of the pxlBlck family. Thanks to the few parts and the prefabricated WS2812 8×8 LED matrix, it is set up fairly quickly […]
Read moreThe idea for the pxlBlck_Pot is heavily inspired by a design that Lukas (@i_am_lukas) had created. He agreed that I can use his basic design. Thanks again for that. 🙂 […]
Read moreThe pxlBlck_SlotClock consists of a 1×60 LED matrix. It can display the time in the same way as an analog clock. The colors of the individual hands can be adjusted. […]
Read moreI started developing the pxlBlcks because I was looking for a way to stay informed about events in the SmartHome. There are now two options integrated into the pxlBlck plug-in. […]
Read moreThe pxlBlck plugin for the ESPEasy framework is the “software counterpart” to the pxlBlck platforms. With the plugin you can easily control the built-in LED matrices and with the help […]
Read moreThe pxlBlck plugin and the functions of your pxlBlck can be configured in two different ways. One possibility is to configure most of the functions via the plugin’s web menu. […]
Read moreWith the pxlBlck you can be informed about events in different ways. One of these possibilities is to be able to display previously set icons. Unfortunately, this option only works […]
Read moreThe adjustable dials differ from the type of LED matrix used. Unfortunately, this is the case because different LED-matrix sizes allow or do not allow different dials and screensavers. In […]
Read moreIf you not only want to stay informed about events with your pxlBlck and also use it to display the current time, then it might be you noticed that a […]
Read morepxlBlck is a system of hardware and software to set up an information system for the SmartHome. Various software and hardware options are available. Thanks to the integration in an […]
Read moreThanks to WiFi and thus (often) an internet connection, an ESP8266 or ESP32 programmed with ESPEasy also has the option to retrieve the actual time. In order for this to […]
Read moreLately I’ve been working on various PCB projects and I would like to introduce a few of them here. i2c_slider_75 With this PCB I want to reduce the wiring effort […]
Read moreThe PCA9685 is a PWM port expander. This makes it possible to connect up to 16 LEDs, servos or other components to your ESP8266 and supply them with a PWM […]
Read moreI am currently working on the first preparations for a somewhat larger project. For this I need LEDs which shine a little brighter. At the same time, I didn’t want […]
Read moreDear visitor of Nerdiy.de, I’ve decided to post a little update from time to time (probably four times a year) about what’s going on in the background on Nerdiy.de. This […]
Read moreLiebe Tester,zu allererst vielen Dank, dass Ihr Euch bereit erklärt habt das pxlBlck Plugin zu testen. 🙂 Im folgenden versuche ich alles aufzulisten, dass Ihr für die Installation und den […]
Read moreYou can measure voltages using the ADC on the ESP8266. This is useful, for example, to measure a battery voltage and thus the state of charge of the battery or […]
Read moreI recently stumbled across the VL53L0X and VL53L1X TOF distance sensors. These sensors can determine distances with millimeter accuracy using a laser. In addition, they have a range of up […]
Read moreThe actual flashing of firmware files such as .bin files or “binarys” on the Wemos D1 Mini, the NodeMcu dev board or any other board that is based on the […]
Read moreIn the articles Build a retro-smart home display via analog displays and ESPEasy – Install and configure the Nerdy PanelMeter plugin was described what you need to do to build […]
