ESP8266 + nRF2401 MiLight Gateway „Sandwich“

Vor einiger Zeit habe ich mir ein paar MiLight RGB LED Lampen zugelegt, um sie mit einem Raspberry Pi und dem openmilight Code zu verwenden. Leider hat das nicht so gut funktioniert, daher habe ich nach besseren Lösungen gesucht – und gefunden: http://blog.christophermullins.com/2017/02/11/milight-wifi-gateway-emulator-on-an-esp8266/ Als Ergänzung zu dieser erstklassigen Software-Lösung für das ESP8266 habe ich eine […]

MIDI Biodata Sonification Device – Settings menu for the MIDI Sprout

The MIDI Biodata sonification device (also known as MIDI Sprout, by DataGarden) is a great device to make music using plants.

Here I describe how to apply the firmware of the very similar Biodata Sonification Arduino shield to a „classic“ MIDI Sprout. This includes adding a button to gain access to a settings menu which allows to adjust MIDI-Channel, LED brightness, note scale and finally the good old threshold.

Sam Cusumano, creator of the MIDI Sprout gave me the idea (or challenge?) to do this:

„And if you REALLY wanna get funky, you can add a button to A1/gnd and use my new codebase which allows users to edit MIDI channel, scale, led  brightness, threshold through a ‚menu system‘ using the leds and the knob. check it out on my github https://github.com/electricityforprogress/BiodataSonificationBreadboardKit which is an ‚arduino shield‘ but should work with the main biodata board with perhaps a few code tweaks.“

Improved firmware for ESP8266 LED Dimmer

Last year, I built two units of the ESP8266 WiFi LED Dimmer Hackaday project by Tom Clement. Ordered the PCB’s for the project from ALLPCB and unexpectedly received 22 boards. Thats why I started to sell some of them on Tindie! The original project was very minimalistic when it comes to both hard- and software design. […]
