esp8266_NeoPixel

About

MQTT NeoPixel control using a esp8266 based board (ESP-01S). Platformio project file for convenience.

Requirements

• ESP-01 board
• ESP-01 RGB Board
• WS2812 WS2812B n Bits Light Ring (I used 16 Bits) (Adafruit NeoPixel)
• 3-5V supply or battery

• Visual Studio Code (or Codium) with:
  • PlatformIO extension with platform Espressif 8266 installed (configuration for the board in platformio.ini)

Demo

(Tested with MQTT_Dashboard)

RGB Lamp

Some improvements to create something similar to Twisted WiFi-controlled Desk Lamp:

• Drilled base to have access to reset button

• Using ESP-01 and ESP-01 RGB Board instead of Weemos D1 mini

Finished lamp with MQTT Dashboard demo:

References and links

• Libraries and code based on examples from the Unofficial SDK for Espressif ESP8266
• Adafruit NeoPixel Arduino Library

Important notes

It is important that the user modifies the corresponding fields between < > in the file src/user_config.h

TODO

• Implement initial SSID and Password configuration by setting the ESP as an Access Point, displaying a welcome site and have the user input stored in the device
• Standalone light effects
