WeiterlesenThe APDS-9960 is a sensor that can be connected to a microcontroller like the ESP8266 via the I2C bus. With the help of the sensor it is possible to recognize simple gestures, which [...]
WeiterlesenI am not sure if ESPs can really be misused to build a botnet. Either way, security should not be neglected even with the small ESPEasy devices. [...]
WeiterlesenThe VL53L0x or its sister/brother, the VL53L1X is a very accurate and relatively inexpensive laser distance sensor. With this, distances can be measured almost to the millimeter. In one of my [...]
WeiterlesenThe BME280 is one of the sensors I use in almost all my projects. With this not only the temperature can be measured. Also the humidity and the air pressure [...]
WeiterlesenESPEasy kann mittlerweile sehr viele verschiedene Sensoren auslesen und / oder Aktoren ansteuern (siehe auch ESPEasy – Sensoren & Aktoren). Mithilfe der “Rules” kann dann lokal auf dem ESP darauf […]
WeiterlesenEspecially if your own circuit has a display to show values, the next step is to also connect a control option. You can connect pushbuttons or switches. A [...]
WeiterlesenThe PCA9685 is a quite practical IC. It is connected to the microcontroller (for example ESP8266) via I2C and can then control up to 16 individual PWM channels. So you can [...]
WeiterlesenThere are some situations in which the connection of an LDR to an ESP makes sense. This is because it is relatively easy and for little money to adjust the brightness in a room [...].
WeiterlesenMit der (lange vor mir hergeschobenen Dokumentation der pxlBlcks) habe ich im November 2020 begonnen nachdem Hackaday.com die “GoodBye 2020”-Challenge ausgerufen hatte. (Mehr Infos dazu hier: https://hackaday.io/contest/175608-goodbye-2020/details) Genutzt hatte ich […]
WeiterlesenThe pxlBlck_RingClock is very similar to the pxlBlck_SlotClock. It is also built with the help of a 1×60 LED matrix and can display the time according to the same scheme as the pxlBlck_SlotClock. However, the [...]
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 quite fast to build and thanks to the adapter board it offers [...]
WeiterlesenI started developing the pxlBlcks because I was looking for a way to stay informed about events in the SmartHome. In the meantime there are two in [...]
WeiterlesenDas pxlBlck-plugin für das ESPEasy Framework ist das “Software-Gegenstück” zu den pxlBlck-Plattformen. Mit dem Plugin könnt Ihr die verbauten LED Matrizen leicht ansteuern und mithilfe der anderen Funktionen ist relativ […]
WeiterlesenThe pxlBlck-plugin or the functions of your pxlBlck can be configured in two different ways. One way is to configure most of the functions via the plugin's web menu. Many infos [...]
WeiterlesenWith the help of pxlBlck you can be informed about events in different ways. One of these ways is to display previously set icons. Unfortunately this possibility [...]
WeiterlesenThe adjustable dials differ from the type of LED matrix used. Unfortunately, this is because different matrix sizes allow or do not allow different displays. Nevertheless, to give you a small overview [...]
WeiterlesenIf you not only want to stay informed about events with your pxlBlck and also use it to display the current time, then you may have already noticed that a fixed [...]
WeiterlesenpxlBlck is a system of hardware and software to build an information system for the SmartHome. Various software and hardware options are available. Thanks to the integration in an EspEasy plugin can [...]
WeiterlesenThanks to WiFi and thus (often) also Internet connection, an ESP8266 or ESP32 programmed with ESPEasy also has the possibility to display the time. For this to work, the call [...]
WeiterlesenThe PCA9685 is a PWM port expander. With this it is possible to connect up to 16 LEDs, servos or other components to your ESP8266 and supply them with a PWM signal. Thanks to [...]
