Arduino

Programming the ESP8266 is rather easy.  I’m using the Arduino libraries and the makeEspArduino build system because I like to use the command line, not IDEs.  Stock libraries provide everything you’d expect: Wifi setup, web servers, DNS support, etc.  There’s even a library that allows you to boot into the […]

ESP8266: its’ all about power

I’ve been fiddling with an ESP8266 this week that is being powered by an FTDIBasic board from SparkFun.  The setup is simple enough and it’s easy enough to get a simple web server running on it but I don’t have a power switch so the whole thing is powered through […]

One of the directions my PiBox project is headed is as a central hub for sensor management.  This implies the ability to communicate between the PiBox and the sensor node using BLE or Wifi.  PiBox can do that already over Wifi (and supports basic BLE communication though lacks a meaningful […]
