Solar-chan

A desktop companion representing an ESP-01 microcontroller powered by two solar cells and some super capacitors.

Yeah this is a weird project but I made it so here it is.

Desktop app

Body assembled

Schematic

Architecture

Stack

  • Node http/socket server
  • ElectronJS desktop app
  • ESP-01 with WiFi/http

Disclaimer about the 3D printed design

This is poorly designed, I barely put any time into it, it has low tolerance/sloppy and it needs a top brace (I added with scrap plastic).

Print time is 2 hours

Note about securty

The Content-Security-Policy in the Electron app is set to accept localhost/a certain local 192 IP address. If you want to use https you can remove that/set your server up to use https. For my use it's just a local thing.
