Posted at 2017-09-19 by @allObjects Does it have to be wireless between the lights with switches since you anyway a decent power supply to feed your LED 'flowers'. You could go with one puck per device as pictured, add a I2c or SPI 16 port expander with FET drivers for the lights and another 16 port expander to collect the momentary switch presses. The pucks could talk with each other and control lights - on / off - across such devices. Posted at 2017-09-19 by Jonathan_Mallinson Many thanks for the feedback and some good points. Yes 100% wireless, no wires at all for safety reasons, yes I don't mind using 1 x Puck per LED flower, that would be fine. If you have any suggested drawings or links please do send them. I am making similar to below, which was made around 5 years ago by the looks of the technology - https://www.fitlighttraining.com/ My budget to make it all is $500, less if possible. - Cheers Jonathan Posted at 2017-09-19 by Jonathan_Mallinson Does anyone know if http://beaconcontrol.io will work with the Puck JS Beacons? Posted at 2017-09-19 by @allObjects ...see [Eddystone]](http://forum.espruino.com/comments/13600876/). btw, thanks for the pic about the devices. They must be pretty tough to withstand this beating... Posted at 2017-09-19 by Jonathan_Mallinson Thanks I will check the link - Cheers Posted at 2022-08-12 by Jennygrist “The Puck JS I understand has a switch built into its case that can switch LEDs on etc. Can I hard wire/replace the built in switch with a [different] switch” Did you get any guidance on how to do this? 🙏🏼 I’d like to do this also. Posted at 2022-08-12 by @gfwilliams What did you have in mind? You could unsolder the built-in switch, however the Puck has lots of IO pins on it so you can pretty easily add other switches to it if you wish. There is some info at http://www.espruino.com/Button although it is not specifically for Puck.js - but the jist of it is you just need to attach 2 wires, and that's it. Posted at 2022-08-12 by Jennygrist Thanks Gordon! I’d like to connect a tactile switch to an Espruino controller - crucially powered by coin cell batteries - to communicate with IFTTT, so that means Web BLE, yes? It’s my understanding that only puck.js is happy with Coin cells for this type of application? Is that right? Posted at 2022-08-12 by Jennygrist Is it possible to use pico with a coin cell battery for a web ble IFTTT application? Posted at 2022-08-13 by @allObjects @jennygrist, what is the motivation to use a pico vs a puck? Pico has no communication. You would have to add that as a separate device. Just to mention one con. Posted at 2022-08-13 by Jennygrist my original choice (puck) is def the way to go then! Thanks for pointing out the rather crucial bit I totally missed!!!!!🙏🏼 Posted at 2022-08-13 by Jennygrist Ps @gfwilliams I’m looking forward to the Puck Lite! It might be a game-changer for my products... Posted at 2022-08-15 by @gfwilliams
The others can often work off coin cells too, but the Puck actually has a battery holder and is definitely set up for it out the box. And yes, the Puck Lites are now actually here, but it'll be a week or two before we get them in the shop I'm afraid. Posted at 2022-08-22 by Jennygrist Looking forward to it!! 😀 Posted at 2022-11-25 by Jennygrist Hi Gordon, any news on the Puck Lites? Posted at 2022-11-25 by @gfwilliams Yes! They've been on sale for a while now at https://shop.espruino.com/puckjslite Posted at 2022-11-29 by Gene Yay!!!! |

Hi, I have a few questions that I am sure someone can answer very quickly before I start buying 100's of Puck JS's for our new business/product. My questions are as follows:
Answer Please:
Answer Please:
If so what is the maximum control range from Puck to Puck. 5 foot/20 foot?
Answer Please:
How many Puck JS can be talking to each other via the master Puck JS. Maximum I need is 12 but could work with 8. I am not very good with coding, so any advise help anyone could give on how to make the Puck JS talk to each other would be very much appreciated.
Answer Please:
How hard would it be to make an APP (Blue Tooth?) that can also be used to decide which of the 8 or 12 Puck JS LED's come on and when? So that people who use it can set their own training session, i.e if your left arm has been broken and you have to do exercise to make your left arm stronger you can make the LEFT sided Puck JS LED's come on more and not just random.
Answer Please:
Is there a way to give feedback and data to people as to how much they improve in terms of speed/reaction time etc and have this sent via BLE to a mobile via an App?
Answer Please:
Please see below a mock up of what I am wanting to make using the Puck JS, the round blue circles in the red LED's represents the Military switches that will be touched to activate the OFF of that LED/Puck JS and then triggering another LED/Puck JS to come on.
Many thanks Jonathan
