Flashing the ESP8266 or ESP32 is not that easy if you have not had much contact with microcontrollers before. Now, there is something very cool that makes this process super […]
WeiterlesenEspEasy and Node Red each offer a number of options for automation. You get even more options if you combine both systems. In the article ESPEasy – Execute commands and […]
WeiterlesenTo be honest, the idea of a 3D printable wind sensor (in technical jargon “anemometer”) has been floating around in my head for a long time. Initially I could have […]
WeiterlesenThanks to the NTP server, ESPEasy is able to call up the time via the WiFi connection. This option is very easy to set up and is described, for example, […]
WeiterlesenThe ButtonBoard PCB is my attempt to kill several birds with one stone. On the one hand, I've always been looking for a universal and easy-to-program remote control for the […]
WeiterlesenWith the Aenmosens_MCU board it is possible to use Anemosens as a stand-alone anemometer, which can be used for long-term observations in remote areas (hence the microSD card slot) or […]
WeiterlesenThe Anemosens sensor PCB is the basis for the sensor assembly of Anemosens, a 3D printed anemometer that I developed for the second version of WinDIY. For this purpose, on […]
WeiterlesenOne of my past PCB projects is the "pxlBlck_multiPCB". As the name suggests, this board is the heart of several future pxlBlck variants. So far I have used the Wemos […]
WeiterlesenMP3 players, smartphones and USB sticks with 128GB and more memory are now part of everyday life. Storing and transporting music has therefore never been easier. About 30 years ago […]
WeiterlesenThe APDS-9960 is a sensor that can be connected to a microcontroller such as the ESP8266 via the I2C bus. With the help of the sensor it is possible to […]
WeiterlesenI'm 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. [...]
WeiterlesenThe 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 […]
WeiterlesenThe BME280 is one of the sensors that I use in almost all of my projects. With this sensor one cannot only measure the temperature. The air humidity and […]
WeiterlesenESPEasy 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 [...]
WeiterlesenEspecially 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 […]
WeiterlesenThe PCA9685 is quite a practical IC. This is connected to the microcontroller (eg ESP8266) via I2C and can then control up to 16 individual PWM channels. You can control [...]
WeiterlesenThere 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 […]
WeiterlesenI 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 […]
WeiterlesenThe 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 […]
WeiterlesenThe 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 […]
WeiterlesenI 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. [...]
WeiterlesenThe 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 […]
WeiterlesenThe 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. [...]
WeiterlesenWith 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 […]
WeiterlesenThe 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 […]
WeiterlesenIf 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 […]
WeiterlesenpxlBlck 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 […]
WeiterlesenThanks 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 […]
WeiterlesenThe 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 […]
WeiterlesenIn the article Build your own retro SmartHome display via analog displays, is explained how to assemble your own Retro SmartHome display. But unfortunately even the best hardware is nothing […]
