Home built IR Remote receiver or Demodulator using Phototransistor - working with Arduino Due

My IR receiver module from Banggood bangged after first run - it just ceased working. The next new one will come a months later, but the show must go on....

So thought of trying custom built temporary IR Receiver Demodulator module using available photo-transistor BPW 77NB and standard NPN amplifier transistor PN2222A. 

Note that in circuit diagram i have shown LEDs connected to pin 5,6,7 only, but practically i have connected one more bi-color LED to pin 3 and 4. This was just as fun for my kid.

And to my surprise it worked :)

Final sketch is given below or is available on my GitHub page here..

https://github.com/Electromania/Arduino-Due/blob/master/Quick-Projects/IR%20Remote%20kit%20Arduino%20Due%20using%20Phototransistor 

Currently, the range of IR receiving was only upto 12-15 inches, may be by fine tuning the gain of amplifier transistor or photodetector, it can be increased. I am not an electronics engg... no idea how to do it. Any ideas or suggestions are most welcomed. 

Till then... have fun.... the show must go on... :)

ESP8266 ESP-12E nodemcu 1.0 Getting started with Esplorer - Loading latest firmware - Lua sketch for onboard and external LED blinking

We will be connecting the NodeMCU to PC, Installing Esplorer IDE, Uploading Latest firmware and a test sketch to blink onboard LED and externally connected LED.

*Programming IDE - esplorer available at http://esp8266.ru/esplorer/  or   https://github.com/4refr0nt/ESPlorer  

*Firmware flasher to update firmware- https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher/blob/master/Win64/Release/ESP8266Flasher.exe 

*Firmware- https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/releases 
I have used -  nodemcu_float_0.9.6-dev_20150704.bin firmware

*Pin configuration of nodemcu V 1.0: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-devkit-v1.0

NOTE- Just plug USB cable between your PC and Nodemcu - no additional hardware modifications or power supply are required.

Unlike other ESP8266 modules,while flashing firmware, loading sketches, running in normal operations, NO NEED of changing any pin configuration (e.g. pulling high or low pin 0 ,2 etc), NodeMCU E12 dev kit does everything internally. 

The final code to test onboard LED at gpio0 and externally connected LED ,red, at gpio1-pin D1. 
just copy and paste following code in esplorer scripts window and press Send to ESP
--/////////////////////////////////////////Start of Code//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function blinktest()
    for i = 1, 10, 1 do       -- blink LED 50 times
    gpio.write(0, gpio.HIGH)  -- note onboard Blue LED is OFF when GPIO0 is high.
    gpio.write(1, gpio.HIGH)  -- RED LED is ON when GPIO1 is high.
     print("Red ON ",i)
    tmr.delay(500000) -- wait for 0.5 sec = 500 000 micro-sec
    gpio.write(0, gpio.LOW)  -- note onboard Blue LED is ON when GPIO0 is Low.
    gpio.write(1, gpio.LOW)  -- -- RED LED is OFF when GPIO1 is low.
      print("Red OFF ",i)
    i = i + 1;
    tmr.delay(500000)  -- wait for 0.5 sec = 500 000 micro-sec
    end
end

function testnodemcu()
blinktest()
tmr.delay(10000)  -- wait for 10micorsec
print("Congratulations for your first successfull NODEMCU E12 LED blink Test")
gpio.write(0, gpio.HIGH)  -- swtich OFF Blue LED at the end
end


testnodemcu()  -- function to run the test script

ESP8266 ESP-12E nodemcu 1.0 SPI OLED Display 128x64 on using U8Glib with esplorer a Non-Arduino IDE

After several days of struggle...finally managed to get 4pin SPI OLED display running on ESP8266  ESP-12E nodemcu 1.0 dev. kit, using esplorer, a Non-Arduino IDE.

The beginning of fun with powerful ESP8266  ESP-12E nodemcu 1.0 Wifi dev kit.

• Programming IDE - esplorer available at http://esp8266.ru/esplorer/ 

• Final sketch-code to display sample electromania text is available on GitHub page here 

• Graphics library U8glib available at-https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/tree/master/lua_examples/u8glib  

• Followed pin out guidelines from- https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware   

Please note, the display arrived with pin markings that are different than those shown on their website.

 Pin connections between ESP8266-12E  and SPI OLED display

     -- D3 pin of ESP to RES pin of Display

     -- D4 pin of ESP to DC pin of Display
     -- D5 pin of ESP to SCL pin of Display  Hardware SPI CLK  = GPIO14
     -- D7 pin of ESP to SDA pin of Display  Hardware SPI MOSI = GPIO13

--** Same pin out can be used to run the default U8Glib library graphics code available here.
