Pin Connections
OLED Display Settings
#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64
#define OLED_RESET -1
#define FRAMERATE 8
Connect the OLED display via I2C to the D1 Mini:
- SDA: D2 (GPIO4)
- SCL: D1 (GPIO5)
Buttons and Buzzer
#define PIN_BTN_L 12 // D6
#define PIN_BTN_M 13 // D7
#define PIN_BTN_R 15 // D8
#define PIN_BUZZER 0 // D3
- Button Left (PIN_BTN_L): GPIO12
- Button Middle (PIN_BTN_M): GPIO13
- Button Right (PIN_BTN_R): GPIO15
- Piezo Buzzer (PIN_BUZZER): GPIO0
Assembly Instructions
- Power Supply Setup: Connect the 14250 battery to the TP4056 module for safe charging and protection. Wire the output of the TP4056 to power the D1 Mini.
- OLED Display: Solder connections for SDA and SCL to the respective pins on the D1 Mini.
- Buttons: Attach each button to the specified GPIO pins with pull-down resistors to ensure reliable input.
- Buzzer: Connect the piezo buzzer to GPIO0. Ensure proper polarity.
- Enclosure (Optional): Assemble all components in a secure housing.
Usage
- Power the device using the rechargeable battery.
- Use the buttons for input.
- Visual feedback is displayed on the OLED screen.
- Audio feedback is provided through the piezo buzzer.
Notes
- This is still a work in progress
- Ensure all connections are secure to avoid malfunction.
- Test the circuit thoroughly before placing it in the enclosure.
- Handle the battery with care to prevent damage.
