RGB WiFi Lamp¶

Firmware¶

This is the official firmware repository for the BinarySpace RGB WiFi Lamp project. This firmware is still in alpha stage, and subject to change.

Planned changes include:

• Configure the WiFi Lamp to connect onto your SSID
• Variety of operating modes like
  • Fixed colour operation
  • Rainbow gradient
  • Time-based colour changing
  • API-based colour changing

Connecting to the WiFi lamp¶

To connect to the WiFi lamp web server, scan for an open WiFi network using your cellphone, tablet or laptop that begins with the letters ESP_xxxxxx. This is the automatically created SSID of the ESP8266 WiFi module used in the lamp. Your WiFi client needs to be configured to use DHCP.

Once connected, simply point your browser at http://192.168.4.1 and you should see the rudementary web interface allowing you to switch the WiFi lamp on in the red colour or off.

A second option is to enter the following URL
http://192.168.4.1/setcolor?r=xxx&g=xxx&b=xxx
where xxx is a number between 000 and 255(must be 3 digits currently) for the intensity of (r)ed, (g)reen and (b)lue respectively.

Supported Platforms¶

• ST Nucleo F103RB
• ST Nucleo F302R8
• ST Nucleo L152RE
• ST Nucleo F401RE

Unsupported Platforms¶

• ST Nucleo F030R8 (unsupported due to insufficient registers for PololuLed library)

How to update your firmware¶

One of the best things about the ST Nucleo series is that they enumerate as a USB Mass Storage device when plugged in. Updating the firmware is as simple as compiling it using mbed compiler(free registration required to use) for your selected platform, plugging in your Nucleo and copying the .bin file created by the compiler to the USB drive enumerated by the Nucleo. That's it!
