CO Detector Hack – Part 7

CO Detector Hack – Part 7

In this post, I’ll be begining to cover the Arduino code used to program the ESP8266, as it pertains to the CO Detector. Most of what I’ll be going over here is based off of Rui and Sara Santos’s work at https://randomnerdtutorials.com/about/. They have done a tremendous amount of work and deserve the attention for it. The ESP8266 will be replacing the ins and outs to the CO Detector. Besides the typical operation of the CO Detector, we’ll need to…

CO Detector Hack – Part 6

CO Detector Hack – Part 6

In this post I’ll be covering the theory of operation in regard to interfacing the ESP8266 with the CO Detector. The first item that should be covered before actually creating the code to program the ESP8266 for use in the CO Detector is to define the operation. This is a blueprint that lays out what we expect the CO Detector to do when interfaced with the ESP8266. It also helps us develop the code we’ll eventually write. Basically, we’re trying…
