- Arduino code for using an ESP8266 to light up a few WS2812 LEDs
- Fetches time from NTP servers and adjusts light according to time of day
- Accepts HTTP GET requests to change the default color
- Uses the code from my Bare_minimum_WiFi_with_OTA repo for seamless WiFi and OTA integration
- A lot of fun!
- Clone (or download) the repo into your Arduino sketchbook directory.
- Install the prerequisites (see below)
- Adjust the default parameters to your liking
- Upload to your ESP8266 using any of the upload methods
- Look at it come alive!
- This is just a few hours of late night work, some bugs may be present
- I have not bothered with comments unless there's something not very clear
- Timezone needs to be set in 1 hour resolution at line 68 (
configTime(...)) - If your timezone is not a full hour difference from GMT, add the remaining seconds on line 83.
currentTime += 1800;(1800 gives an extra half hour) - To set a color via HTTP, enter the request as
IPADDRESS/setColor?c=AABBCCwhere AABBCC is the HEX code of the color.
- This is a work in progress but not a very critical project. I will tweak things if I want to add or change something.
- Pull requests are welcome
