Today I am going to talk about a DIY LED strip controller based on an ESP-12E (ESP8266) module. All ideas are the same as they were in the Wi-Fi temperature-humidity sensor (Part 1 and Part 2). This controller is also going to have a web interface, through which you can control light intensity or power … Read more
In this post we will continue and hopefully end writing a basic ESP8266 (based on ESP-12) web interface. If you haven’t read first part of this post, I suggest doing it here. If you have, then let’s proceed with the second part. So, what we are left to do is to basically write all server-side … Read more
This project is mainly oriented to writing a basic WEB user interface for ESP8266. The temperature sensor will be more like an addition to the project instead of being project’s main topic. You can split ESP based projects into two main types: 1) a device with a battery and 2) a device which is powered … Read more
There are some great cheap oscilloscopes out there. For those who want a solution which will do the job with as little as possible DSO Shell or similar kits are available. Although now there are kits which are truly portable (e.g. with a battery), but I personally have got myself a semi portable device (which … Read more
There are lots of cheap USB-Serial adapters on the market which most of the time are perfect solution if you want to flash a MCU or you need a data connection between a PC and some kind of device with serial interface. But those cheap solutions are not suitable if electrical isolation between a PC … Read more
If you have ever designed your own PCB with ESP12 module on it, probably you have left some kind of a connector to program the module. But what if you don’t want to have an extra connector or you don’t have enough space on a PCB? Then you could use an pogo addon for ESP-12 … Read more
Handful of older generation AVR MCUs needs ISP (In System Programming) connector to flash your own firmware. Usually if you design your own PCB, you will place somewhere 6 pin header (2×3 pins) as ISP connection. Most of the time it makes sense, unless PCB needs to be small especially in its height. In these … Read more
