ESP8266 based plane spotter
A how-to on building an ESP8266 based plane spotter from Daniel Eichorn: In order to get this project running you’ll need the following list of hardware: NodeMCU ESP8266 module or Wemos D1 Mini 0.96″ SSD1306 OLED display A few connectors and USB Wire Or order a complete starter kit from my shop Full details at Squix TechBlog.
ESP8266 NodeMCU Backdoor uPWM hack for IR signals
The AnalysIR crew has published an article showing how to achieve accurate PWM for Infrared carrier signals on the ESP8266 NodeMCU: Quite simple really – just set the baud rate to 10 times the desired Infrared carrier frequency and send a ‘magic’ 8 bit character to achieve the desired duty cycle. Of course we need […]
Running NodeMCU on a battery: ESP8266 low power consumption revisited
Tinkermax shows us how he reduce the current consumption of his v2 NodeMCU in deep sleep to < 50μA: Unfortunately, with all this added convenience comes the drawback of added power consumption, which continues even when the ESP8266 is in deep sleep. I measured 18mA to the NodeMCU board while the ESP8266 was in deep […]
A small collection of NodeMCU Lua scripts
Limpkin writes: I usually never use libraries… but made an exception for these quick projects ! I’m pretty sure that most people reading this very article know about the (very) cheap ESP8266 Wifi module. A bit more than a year ago, I actually made a small development board for it, which was recently used in […]
Soldering iron + Nodemcu = IoT device
Vegard Paulsen blogged about his soldering-iron #IoT project: My trusty old soldering-iron recently got an upgrade! With the help of a NodeMCU. a RGB-LED it now reports the set temperature to the #IoT Thingspeak.com server through WIFI. It also sends me Prowl messages on my Iphone when I forget to turn it off. It all […]
Power Meter pulse logger with ESP8266 running NodeMCU
Patrik Thalin writes: This device is installed in my home to monitor the usage of electricity. It counts the pulses from the meter and produces a log file with number of pulses and a time stamp that can later be analyzed. The hardware is quite simple. The NodeMCU development kit board with an ESP8266 running […]
IoT with ESP8266 + NodeMCU firmware
@PixelatedPic tweeted, “IoT with ESP8266 + NodeMCU firmware and couple of Lua :) its alive!”
Graphic equalizer display using ESP8266-12, MSGEQ7 and WS2812
Amir Avni made a graphic equalizer display using ESP8266-12, MSGEQ7 and WS2812: Finally, I’ve created a this project: An equalizer display controlled by ESP8266 with the NodeMCU firmware, where the equalizer colors are controlled via WiFi Project info at whatimadetoday site. Check out the video after the break.
ESP8266 running NodeMCU as a controller
jscottb over at LetsMakeRobots writes: My goal for this mini project is to create A simple autonomous rover with just the ESP and NodeMCU. In looking at the specs for node most of the supporting libraries already written. GPIO, PWM and Timer libraries are included in the Lua interpreter. After flashing the board my next up […]
