ESP8266_swiss_army_board

Arduino based project running on my custom made board

The hardware :

The board :

The modules :

Hardware pin mapping :

(This image wasn't done by me)

So we have :

• I2C (for OLED screen and RTC)
  • GPIO4 --> SDA
  • GPIO5 --> SCL
• SPI (for µSDCard)
  • GPIO13 --> MOSI
  • GPIO12 --> MISO
  • GPIO14 --> CLK
  • GPIO2 --> µSDCard CHIP_SELECT

Here is a list of the components needed in order to build such a board :

• 1x 1N4001 reverse voltage protection diode
• 1x AMS1117 5v voltage regulator
• 1x AMS1117 3.3v voltage regulator
• 2x 22µf electrolytic capacitors
• 2x 0.1µf (code 104) tantalum capacitors
• 1x jumper
• 1x 2 pins male header
• 1x On/Off switch
• 2x push buttons
• 1x ESP8266 E12
• 1x 19 pins female header
• 1x 2 screws terminal
• 1x micro USB socket
• 1x 100 ohm resistor
• 2x 1k ohm resistor
• 1x 6.8k ohm resistor
• 1x 3.9k ohm resistor
• 1x 22k ohm resistor
• 2x 10k ohm resistor
• 1x 33k ohm resistor
• 1x 4.7k ohm resistor
• 1x 7cmx5cm pcb

The software :

I2C Hardware addresses :

• OLED screen : 0x3C
• RTC DS3231 : 0x68

External librairies used :

• Adafruit_SSD1306 (not my work) link
• Adafruit-GFX (not my work) link
• RTClib-master (not my work) link
• AT24CXX-master (not my work) link

SD Card structure (subject to changes) :

/
|_CONFIG
|   AP.CFG
|   STA.CFG
|_FTP
|_LOGS
|_WWW

Example of a config file structure (.CFG) :

#This line is a comment and will be ignored
#All comments should be at the top of the file
#The parameter names are case sensitive /!\

this_is_the_parameter_name : this_is_a_numeric_value
'this is the parameter name' : this_is_a_numeric_value
this_is_the_parameter_name : 'this is a string value'
'this is the parameter name' : 'this_is_a_string_value'

For AP.CFG it would be :

#This config file stores the configuration needed to set the AP
#up for the ESP8266SwissArmyBoad
#If this file is not present or if there is an error at parsing time
#default values will be used instead.
#If the password is an empty string aka '', the network will be open

SSID : 'ESP8266SwissArmyBoard'
PASSWORD : 'APassWord'
CHANNEL : 1
SSID_HIDDEN : 'true'
AP_MAX_CONNECTION : 4

For STA.CFG it would be :

#This config file stores the configuration needed to connect the board
#to a wifi hotspot
#If this file is not present or if there is an error at parsing time
#only the AP functionality will be enabled

SSID : 'MyHotspotSSID'
PASSWORD : 'MySuperSecuredPassword'
