Esp8266 – Measuring temperature
I’ve started to build a prototype for testing purposes with a temperature sensor.
Esp8266 – 2,54mm Adapter soldering
I’ve ordered the Esp8266 in the form factor or model „03“ which has no standard 2,54mm pin headers. If you want to use it with a breadboard, you’ll need to solder an adapter.
A „Who Am I“-function
You’ll know the game. Someone gets a post-it on his forehead with a name and must find this person by asking e.g. „Am I an engineer?“. The answer is always YES or NO. To handle several Spark Cores with different functionality, I’ve implemented this idea as webservice for all my Cores.
Fritzing „Lochraster“
After all electronics for the Death Star where assembled test-wise, I wanted to create a „Lochraster“-layout. Unfortunately that’s not that easy with Fritzing.
Esp8266 – THE IoT MCU
Some time ago I discovered some early information about the Esp8266, a very small and especially cheap WIFI module with serial interface.
Another 3d print
For motorizing the Death Star I’ve printed another 3d piece: A pulley.
Powering the Death Star „Brain“
How should be the core of the Death Star been powered? Is there a seperate power supply needed?
