IoT & Art!?

In this project we control LEDs from a web interface (using ESP8266 and WS2812). The applications range from air polution monitoring to simple clock, or artistic visualizations, check this repo:

Usage

1st time:

• program the ESP with the arduino IDE (the 1st link should have every details needed)
• connect your phone/computer to your the wifi network called 'invertedSpace'
• go to the following URL with your browser: http://192.168.4.1/
• set the ESP to connect to your favorite network (set the SSID and password)

Then:

• your phone/computer should connect back to your favorite network

• put the following URL in your browser, the rest should be intuitive:

  http://invertedSpace.local/

Note: If you need to change the password, uncomment the follwing line in the .ino file:

wifiManager.resetSettings();

Advanced

The HTML/JS code is embedded in the arduino code, using the handleRootHTML.h header. To update it, edit index.html and use the following command to update the header:

./minify.sh

You will need html-minifier accessible with node, to install it:

npm install html-minifier -g
