Firmware for ESP8266 - fetches saved timelines from magicpoi.circusscientist.com (Magic Poi Lite server API) and displays specified colours according to precise timing.
Requirements:
Software: PlatformIO
Hardware: D1 mini
Additional: common cathode RGB LED connected to D5 D6 and D7 *(optional - otherwise just look at the Serial Monitor to see colours)*
Additional: two buttons attached to D1 and D2 *(optional - you can reset the D1 mini instead to fetch new Timeline)*
Setup:
sign up for a free account at http://magicpoi.circusscientist.com and go to the "Magic Poi Lite" page, use "Record Timeline" and "Save Timeline" to create a timeline.
copy the secrets_example.txt file to src folder and re-name to secrets.h
edit secrets.h, adding your WiFi details and MadicPoi login
upload to D1 mini and watch your LED's change colour
on the Magic Poi Lite page you can click on Sequence Mode to create a timeline with fixed interval (1 second between changes)
the strobing colours are not implemented yet
you may need to log in again periodically
on startup the code fetches the currently selected timeline (buttons show up on the right of interface after save, click on button and press "Play Timeline" to use). Re-start the D1 mini to re-load after selecting a new timeline on the site.
Press the button attached to D1 to check the server for updated timeline (re-fresh)
timeline will loop back to start on finish *(this will be optional in a future version)*
this is all experimental code subject to change without notice
TODO:
download all timelines at once and store, select which one to use with a button press
update timelines (fetch from server) with another button press DONE
play once only option (for shows where you don't want to repeat)
add strobing colours to changeColours() function
WiFi remote control hardware addon to sync multiple poi.
Add FastLED WS2812 and APA102 LED's support (on a different pin simultaneously or as an option in secrets.h)
