ESP8266 LED Pet

I used this project to learn C and about ESP8266 programming.

Watch video of it in action!

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Setup hardware from here

Software

• git
• node
• platformio

Commands

git clone https://github.com/HappyViki/esp8266-led-pet.git

• Config secrets-config.h with your wifi user/pass and server's network ip
• Rename secrets-config.h -> secrets.h
• Plug your device into the computer

cd esp8266-led-pet
npm install
pio run --target upload
node server.js

If the device is connected to the server correctly, it should start animating sad faces.

If it's not, it will just perpetually be happy.

Go to http://localhost:8080/ in your browser and click the carrot button.

You should see an eating animation on the device.
