Talk to Huzzah from Your Smartphone Using Blynk.cc @hackaday @blynk_app
Blynk claim their platform can “build a graphic user interface in a matter of minutes.” Hackaday.io user Richard Hogben shows you how that’s possible, using the Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout!
Blynk.cc can build a UI to control an Arduino over the internet. The Huzzah ESP8266 is a cool way to get started quickly for only $10.
In this project I prepare the Huzzah for Arduino programming and setup Bylnk.cc to blink LEDs on the Huzzah from my smartphone.
Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 Breakout: Add Internet to your next project with an adorable, bite-sized WiFi microcontroller, at a price you like! The ESP8266 processor from Espressif is an 80 MHz microcontroller with a full WiFi front-end (both as client and access point) and TCP/IP stack with DNS support as well. Read more.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
