Hi,
I finally received the boards from the manufacturer(big thanks to @Seeed-Fusion). I manage to assemble one board by soldering the components and such and...it WORKS(including OTA)! I will post the instructions on openhardware.io project page.
I think these look very interesting to do with small children may be able to stimulate their curiosity, the current video games are too much influence on children, occasionally the family together to do their own small games is a new experience.
@Dwalt oh wow.. thanks so much.. i was waiting for you to get back to me but never saw this post.. and i just happened to stumble on it when i was looking to see if you had been back on the forum or not.
I'm good with the hardware side of things and can shell script and do windows scripting. but still have not learned this coding yet.
i have all the hardware for the 433 stuff.
i even got the RF stuff to work (on my RPI2) and sniffed all my codes
i could just never get it to work with my arduino stuff.
likely the code, so i'm excited to give your code a go.
Thanks!
Sorry for the delay first of all, unfortunately I didn't get the notification of this thread If you are using a latching relay I'd recommend using SensorLatchingRelay1Pin or SensorLatchingRelay2Pins which should take better all the aspects of a latching relay. Then you can still use the safeguard for closing the door after a given timeframe. And yes you have to set a reporting interval even if not intuitive at all. This is because the safeguard is checked in the loop cycle which is called only if a reporting interval is set. So if you have a safeguard set to 1 minute, the report interval should be 1 minute or less. Thanks!
