Can I use esp8266 to directly simulate button?
t0ny-peng opened this issue · comments
Hi, I'm thinking of using an ESP8266 to control the desk. Its GPIO pin can be set to either 3.3V or 0V.
Can I connect the pin directly to the button? So that I can set the GPIO to 0 to simulate the button being pushed, and reset it back to 3.3V when I want it to stop.
Thanks.
I'm planning to do the same. I'm still searching for a good LIN lib to esp8266, but my idea is to hardwire a wemos D1 mini or a nodeMCU to it. My two concern right now is to find a LIN package to read the data, and if the current electronics can power a nodeMCU or not.
Had you any success?
hey there @left4taco and @tg44 .
i already did it, will publish my project soon.
including hardware and so on.. :)
will keep you updated..

Hey @slaesh, did you publish it or not yet?
I would like to do it soon but I don't have enough experience with projects like this one so I don't want to fuck it up lol.
BTW did you guys finally tried it? @left4taco @tg44
Not yet. Still interested in this project, but I had no free-time to possibly brick my working table...
sorry for the long delay..
now created a project on tindie! :) @tg44 @alfonmga

if you are interested, just join the list.. =)
Hi @slaesh what you have done look really good. Could you give more details about the interface of the board ? (restAPI and Mqtt) how do you setup the connection wifi ?
Does this hack works also for the RODULF standup desk?
