## Demo Code Explanation
### Table of Contents
This repository contains a basic "Hello, World!" project for the SmartCube.
### Getting Started:
1. Download and install **[VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/)** or **[VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/)**.
2. Install the **[PlatformIO IDE extension](https://platformio.org/platformio-ide)**.
3. Clone this repository and open the project folder in VSCode/VSCodium.
4. PlatformIO will automatically handle environment setup and dependencies when you open the project.
### Project Structure:
All source code is located in the `src/` directory.
You should start by opening **`src/main.cpp`**, which contains the entry point and initialization logic.
### What the Code Does:
This demo handles basic system functionality, including:
* System initialization
* Button input handling
* OLED display output configuration
* WiFi management
### Key Features
1. **WiFi Management**:
- The [cubeWifiManager](https://git.kopic.hr/tomislav/SmartCubeV1/src/branch/main/src/SmartCube/cubeWifiManager.h) class manages WiFi connectivity seamlessly.
- If no known WiFi network is available, it starts a configuration portal and creates an access point (AP), allowing users to connect the SmartCube to a network from another WiFi-enabled device.
- The OLED display shows the access point details, such as the AP name and IP address, making the setup process very easy.
2. **Button Handling**:
- Buttons are mapped to specific GPIO pins: `PIN_BTN_L` (Left), `PIN_BTN_M` (Middle), and `PIN_BTN_R` (Right).
- The [cubeButtonHandler](https://git.kopic.hr/tomislav/SmartCubeV1/src/branch/main/src/SmartCube/cubeButtons.h) function, executed in the [loop()](https://git.kopic.hr/tomislav/SmartCubeV1/src/commit/1cb51f502d92a91c6a83ce6364b434db31bfd864/src/main.cpp#L47), monitors and interprets button presses, differentiating between short and long presses.
#### Default Button Actions
- **Right Button**:
- *Short Press*: Turns the OLED display **on** (if previously off).
- *Long Press*: Turns the OLED display **off**, helping conserve power.
- **Left + Middle Buttons (Simultaneous Long Press)**:
- Triggers an ESP8266 reboot, effectively restarting the device.
This is meant to provide a minimal starting point for further development with the SmartCube.

**Battery Setup**
### Battery Setup
The battery is optional. Your SmartCube will work fine when powered via USB; however, adding one makes it portable (and much cuter).
A single 700 mAh 14250 battery lasts about 24 hours. Keep in mind there's currently no way to manually power the Cube off, it will continue running until the battery is depleted. The TP4056 prevents the cell from being completely drained and should protect it from damage.

The TP4056 prevents the cell from being completely drained and should protect it from damage.
Although it's not shown in any of the pictures or schematics, both the case and the back cover are updated to include a slot for 8.5mm SPDT slider switch(SS-12D00), in case you actually want to have a power switch instead of letting it run until the battery drains.

## Tips and tricks
- It's not as hard to make as it looks.
- Battery is the trickiest part to fit in, it's best to put in the case last.
- Test if everything works before completely closing the case shut.
- Make sure all connections are secure and not short-circuited.
- Hot glue is your friend, it will add extra protection from short-circuits and keep wires in place.
- Everything is pretty tightly packed in there and it can be quite a mess.
![Packed](https://git.kopic.hr/tomislav/SmartCubeV1/raw/branch/main/hardware/pictures/IMG_20241213_171725.jpg)
- Ensure all connections are secure and isolated. Hot glue is your friend.
- Test the circuit thoroughly before placing and gluing it in the enclosure.
- Battery is the trickiest part to fit in, it's best to glue the charging module directly to it and put it in the case last
For questions or additional details, feel free to reach out! I would love to hear some feedback.
Good luck and have fun :)
