In the April 2021 Hackspace<\/a> there is an article for Connected Little Boxes<\/a>. The author<\/a> assured me it was simple to make, so I decided to give it a go. Our 3D printer never did work, so decided to use a round sandwich box, which would fit the NeoPixel ring quite nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This is the first time I’ve used a Wemos. Still need to fiddle around with the code before I can claim to know anything about it. I decided to solder the headers on to the board. This would be useful for adding more sensors to the project over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took some bought connecting wires with male and female ends. This would look nice, and make it easy to add the connections to the Wemos. Good thing, as I initially connected the Digital Input from the NeoPixel ring to the wrong pin on the Wemos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very pleased with my soldering. The whole thing is secured with sellotape so that it would not be visible through the sandwich box.. Not very high-tech. The NeoPixel’s static envelope was put between the NeoPicel and the Wemos to prevent inadvertent contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CrazyRobMiles very kindly shared his code here<\/a>. I followed the instructions in HackSpace to load it up using Visual Studio Code. I must say it worked very well. I will be looking at Visual Studio Code for these projects in future. The link includes full setup instructions which were very clear and easy to follow. I used an existing mqtt server which had already been set up for this purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
