IoTuz - The Internet of Tuz

Welcome to the linux.conf.au 2017 Open Hardware Project. You can see information about this and other MiniConfs at http://www.openhardwareconf.org/wiki/Main_Page

This year we're bringing a project with the hottest new micro for people to have a play with. The ESP32 is the successor to the hugely popular ESP8266 chip we used for 2016 Open Hardware Project, the (ESPlant, CCHS-Melbourne/ESPlant).

The ESP32 is definitely the big brother of the ESP8266. Included in it's features: 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Dual Core CPUs

As usual we've got a custom board and some custom software to get you started on your journey! Check out the subdirectories in this repo for more information.

IoTuz firmware can be found at CCHS-Melbourne/iotuz-esp32-firmware

Hardware assembly instructions

Workshop assembly instructions for people attending the LCA2017 Open Hardware Mini-Conference.

Software instructions

Software setup instructions

Please see marcmerlin/IoTuz mentioned below for an arduino driver.

Features

Marc MERLIN has written a driver for the arduino environment with support for:

• TFT (hw SPI)
• Touchscreen (hw SPI)
• Replacement touchscreen support (calibration option in case your touchscreen is reversed or has different calibration)
• Rotary Encoder via pin interrupt driven driver
• Support for A and B buttons "hidden" behind the I2C IO multiplexer
• Joystick
• Color LEDs
• Accelerometer
• BME280 (temperature, humidity, pressure)
• IO expander (pcf8574)
• Infrared receiver

For this software, go to: marcmerlin/IoTuz

Getting IoTuz

You need to clone the IoTuz repo from github, using the --recursive option to pick up submodules. If you download a zip file then the submodule parts will be missing, so we recommend using git to get it.

The command is:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CCHS-Melbourne/IoTuz

Where to Now?

Check out (and contribute to) the wiki. There is a pinout summary, sensor summary, power information, etc.
