The interior is pretty clean, a simgle board with an #mcu. I'm wondering if it's something standard and if it can be flashed with #esphome or replaced with an #esp8266, but it's not for today. Remember? 1 hour time, and it's already ticking away!
So I stuck three #ds18b20 temperature sensors in our boiler. An #esp8266 and #esphome made them usable in #HomeAssisstant. What I couldn't have guessed is how much heat is transferred via the wire. When just stuck in a drilled hole through the insulation the temperature was 50⁰C. I then dug out the insulation and taped the sensor and some wire directly on the steel and foamed the cavity shut, the actual temperature is 73⁰C!
FlashESP is an all-in-one web-based tool for ESP32/ESP8266 Arduino development and firmware flashing

FlashESP is a web-based tool allowing the development of Arduino sketches and firmware flashing for ESP32 and ESP8266 hardware platforms. I initially thought it was similar to ESP Web Tools for flashing firmware from the web and used by projects like ESPHome, but it goes further than that, and it looks like an Arduino Cloud Editor for ESP32/ESP8266 instead, since users can select boards, write code, load libraries, and flash the resulting firmware from a compatible web browser without installing anything else on their computer. FlashESP key features: Cloud Compilation - Real-time compilation with live logs. Auto Configuration - Intelligent board and library detection. One-Click Flash - Web Serial integration. Connect your ESP via USB and flash directly from a compatible browser (WebSerial support needed) without any drivers or downloads. Public Explorer - Discover community projects. Flexible Visibility - Create private projects for your team, public for the world, or

The #GardenLights #Cheerlights box is now screwed to the garden wall and operational :)

So #ESP8266 D1 Mini board in there with a 20Ah battery, running #MicroBlocks script publishing using #MQTT to my broker cymplecy.uk on topic gardenlights. This received by #NodeRED on Pi in my house which uses UDP to update colour of the #Wiz lights and also toots out to cheerlights

@thzinc pretty near, but it's not a data logger!
The mcu is an #esp8266 (a D1 Mini clone), as you said it's connected via i2c to a #PN532 -based #NFC reader. The module to the right is not only an sdcard slot support. Is a " #DFPlayer ", a sketchy module containing an #MP3 player and amplifier, controllable via #UART. Pretty limited, but I needed someting cheap, quick and dirty, and it ticks all the boxes.
The idea is building an electronic storyteller (something like https://www.myfaba.it/ or https://lunii.com/ , but without the whole closed source stack, tracking and remote bricking they bring along) for my daughter.

I quickly updated the code of a previous project, and I'm ready to start finding out what I can do with that display :)

But it's already been a long day, so it'll wait tomorrow :)

So it took me a while to figure out that the led strip I'm using does not like to be driven with 3.3V signal.
Luckily, I have some level shifterl laying around, and some soldering later, it works \o/
It's not pretty, but it works :)

#esp8266 #Christmas #pcb

@bls To be honest, a Pi is way overkill for this anyway. It could be done with a simple #esp8266, with #esphome installed on it, but I didn't learn about those until later.

It works as it is, the only benefit about changing it would be a freed up Pi for other projects.

Looks like I'm working on a new thing :)

I still have to make a case/stand and code some animation. Probably tomorrow.
