1. WiFi Audio Spectrum Analyzer with ESP 8266<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a fun project inspired by Charles Lohr’s video<\/a>. A 8×8 RGB LED module (WS2812b) is connected to the I2S port of ESP8266<\/a>. ESP8266 also runs a WebSocket server. It listens on port 8080 for display frame data. Once the data is received, it is pushed to the LED Matrix via DMA\/I2S. The client side is a HTML5\/JS webpage. When an audio file is selected, the Javascript program uses WebAudio APIs to decode and analyze the audio data. The audio spectrum is then bin’ed into 8 sections and send to the ESP8266 WebSocket port. Check out video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2.How to use Wio Link to DIY Go Pro Remote
\n<\/a><\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Wio Link<\/a> is an ESP8266 based open-source Wi-Fi development board to create IoT applications by virtualizing plug-n-play modules to RESTful APIs with mobile APPs. It is\u00a0designed to simplify the\u00a0IoT development. It takes only 30 minutes for Jollen to make a Go Pro Remote. What you need to do is to build a Cherokee Web Server in GoPro and call the API of photo-taking using HTTP GET. Still a few days away to back Wio Link on Kickstarter<\/a> if you are into this thing.<\/p>\n

3. Volksvagen \u00a0CAN BUS Gaming<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever wanted to play a car\/truck simulator with a real dashboard on your PC? Lebata30 tried to control a VW Polo 6R dashboard via CAN Bus with an Arduino Uno and a Seeed CAN Bus Shield inspired by Silas Parker. The speed of the CAN BUS is 500kbps lol<\/p>\n
