7-Segment-Anzeige Grove TM1637 mit #Microcontroller NodeMCU LoLin V3 #ESP8266. Es wird über WiFi eine Verbindung ins Internet aufbebaut und von einem NTP-Server die aktuelle Uhrzeit geholt. Danach zählt der Prozessor selbst weiter und zeigt die Uhrzeit an.
Nachdem es technisch funktioniert hat, habe ich selbst aus Klemmbausteinen ein würfel-förmiges Gehäuse gebaut. #diy

An #esp8266 running #ESPHome (and connected to #HomeAssistant) controlling the arm of a rolling ball clock (Roll-O-Clock). First, turning quickly to catch up to the current time, then gently turning to sweep up one ball per minute. Sensors connected to the hour arm and the scooper so that it knows when the clock is "empty" (1 o'clock) and when the arm is vertical. Operating the arm can be turned off remotely.

#Happy420 Day! Den Tag zum Anlass genommen, habe ich heut ein weiteres Development Release meiner #CanGrow Firmware zusammengeschnürt und den v0.2 Entwicklungsstand in den Git main gemerged, da dieser nun voll funktionsfähig, wenn auch noch nicht feature complete, ist :)

Neben einer aktualisierten Readme im Git Projekt gibt es auch unter den Release pre-built Binaries zum direkten Upload auf euren #ESP :)

Ihr findet alles weitere hier: https://git.la10cy.net/DeltaLima/CanGrow
