I would never admit that I have a slight problem with online shopping, but OMG the current pile of incoming is a little out of control!
In my defence...
...nah there is no defence - I'm addicted!!
Enjoy the irresponsibility (YT broken, but link below should work!):
The 4MB expansion of the flash memory on an ESP01s has been successfully employed in a previous blog and video.
Recently some similar chips arrived, but this time in a 16MB format!
Would they be addressable by the ESP8266 chip onboard this little device?
No spoiler alerts this time - watch the video!
A friend dropped off a toddler training clock that had gone kaput. I suspected a dodgy micro-usb port because, well, all micro-usb ports are dodgy!
Structurally, these ports are not strong enough for daily use - I have lost count of how many I have had let go because of flimsy connections.
The cables are just as bad - many times I have been trying to trouble shoot my code only to discover after a day or so that the micro-usb cable has given in - very frustrating!
Anyway - I opened up the clock to find out if it was a shonky port as I suspected.
Spoiler alert - I was right!
In this mailbag I got a little bogged down in a lovely relay timer module that, though needlessly complicated, provides quite a few interesting and I think potentially useful timing functions.
It's difficult to decipher all of it's functions clearly, although there is a newer version of the manual available, and perhaps it might make more sense to you than me.
What do you think?
