Arduino #27 AsyncWifimanager ElegantOTA ESP8266 (WiFi Password Mgnt + WiFi Firmware Update)

*** If you are using the ESP32, Please see this: ESP32

It would be great if every IoT device deployed with OTA capability with Wifimanager.  Then the IoT device would be able to change SSID & password without connecting the device to the computer to update SSID and password as well as FOTA at any time when you wanted.

In this tutorial, let’s combine ESPAsync_Wifimanager and AsyncElegantOTA into a code base to become a handy tool for future IoT projects! 

I have made WiFiManager & AsyncElegantOTA tutorial videos. If you don't know what they are and how they work for IoT projects, I strongly recommend you to watch these videos first.

This time, I used ESPAsync_WiFiManager library, it's because WiFiManager does not work with AsyncElegnatOTA together. We have to change to ESPAsync_WiFiManager.  The main reason for this is that AsnycWiFiManager is using Asynchronous technology. Which means it can accept connections from different sources at the same time. So, while WiFiManager is running on the device, the device can also be a FOTA server to allow firmware to be remotely updated!

        Watch these videos first, if haven't heard about these.

 AsyncWifimanager ElegantOTA ESP8266 (WiFi 密碼管理+ WiFi 韌體更新)

今天來跟大家介紹如何把 一般的 IoT 專案常用到的兩個 WiFiManager 以及WiFi 韌體更新FOTA (Firmware Over the Air) 兩個整合在一起, 變成一個常用的 Code base.  往後你的 IoT 專案呢, 就可以俱備這些基本功能了! 

我曾做過 WiFiManager & AsyncElegantOTA 影片介紹, 如果不了解或是沒看過的朋友, 我建議你先看一下. 這樣比較能清楚的知道這兩個工具的好處!

我這次將會使用 ESPAsync_WiFiManager library, 因為之前的 WiFiManager 無法同時和 AsyncElegnatOTA 一起使用, 一定要改用 ESPAsync_WiFiManager 才行, 主要原因是 AsnycWiFiManager 採用AsyncWebServer library, 而這個程式庫使用了非同步(Async)的方式, 也就是說它可以同時接收不同的連線及不同的指令.  所以不但可以執行 WiFiManager 的同時, 也能當做 FOTA server 來遠端更新韌體!

Arduino - Test DFPlayer Mini MP3 Module I found DFPlayer mini MP3 module on China auction site Taobao when I was looking for a MP3 player module for an Arduino projects.  This module is quite small and it only require few pins connections to Arduino and a speaker to work.  Looks really nice for my little project. Actually, the module is quite capable and complicated, if you were interested, please visit this  page . This tutorial here is just to show you how to connect DFPlayer module with Arduino and speaker and the Arduino sketch provided here just to play few sample sounds I collected from Internet. First, I recycled a 2W, 4Omh small speaker from this little music box. Material Needed: DFPlayer Mini module  Speaker - DFPlayer module support to to 3W SD card - 2GB ~ 32GB formatted with FAT or FAT32 MP3 / WAV - audio files Arduino mini Pro Few jump wires As you can see the illustration below I made in Power Point, hardware connection is quite simple (

Android control color RGB LED using HC-05 Bluetooth with Arduino (Part I) Part II of this tutorial is here! Updated Sketch for ESP32 boards   https://stonez56.blogspot.com/2021/07/android-control-color-rgb-led-with.html This time, I am going to show you how to use Android phone to connect to HC-05 Bluetooth module and Arduino. Hardware needed: Arduino mini pro * 1 HC-05 Bluetooth module * 1 RGB LED * 2 Jump wires * 10 HC-05 Bluetooth Module wiring as follow: TX connect to Arduino Pin 11(RX) RX connect to Arduino Pin 12(TX) Remember to connect TX on the HC-05 to RX on the Arduino and RX on the HC-05 to TX on the Arduino, so Arduino can receive data correctly. VCC connect to 5V power GND connect to Ground RGB LED wiring as follow: Warning: You must connect Arduino mini pro, so your PWM Pin can control LED’s color! For example, Arduino mini pro only has 6 PWM pins and they are 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11, other pins do not have PWM. Refer to Wikipedia for PWM R co
