Temperature Display with NeoPixel Ring Color
This is an OLED temperature display based on ATmega328p along with a NeoPixel led ring to display different colors depending on temperature. This is a small temperature display using a OLED with a NeoPixel Ring around it using MQTT on a ESP8266 and sending data to the on board...
Continue ReadingEasy Arduino Menus for Rotary Encoders
SimonM83 has posted a new tutorial on how to implement an Arduino menu using a rotary encoder. The tutorial goes through the hardware setup and sample code is provided. Rotary encoders with centre-push buttons are cool input hardware for projects, especially if you want to be able to...
