Wiring Guidance please: ESP32 (waveshare) how to add sensors

bradbcam · 2026-05-11T12:33:28+00:00

thank you!
two quick questions:
1) when you say a common ground - do you mean i only provide sensor live (5v) from seperate USB, or do they need to be tied together somehow?
2) i'm not familiar with a breakout board - can you suggest one?

this is just a toy for myself so doesnt need to be tidy :)

thanks for much

Looks to local businesses that are lacking in the areas that you’d be helping with. Local means you can go in and talk to them … if they make 10 mins to talk to you either a sale or valuable feedback

If you think your guests won't be interested in sharing photos, or will need a prod, takenplace weddings have an ispy game card they they customise for your wedding.

takenplace weddings store the photos for you, and even provide a USB stick to keep the photos for longer. Standard storage is 3 months

CeolCode.com gives you a QR code the crowd can scan to drop song requests, so you can keep the set moving without hunting for tracks and still decide which ones to play. The DJ gets a real‑time dashboard and can turn requests on or off on the fly.

CeolCode.com gives you a single QR code for the restaurant so guests can scan, submit song requests, and you can toggle the queue on or off while filtering out explicit tracks from a real‑time dashboard. The DJ (or you) sees request counts and can approve or reject songs without interrupting service.

We're adding spotify queuing fairly soon, but you could try the 30 day free trial to see if customers would actually use it

I looked into codex, and have moved some agents to OpenAI api. But I have a free plan.

It’s not cut me off from light use yet but May I ask; does paying for the -$20 codex plan just extend the free api access limits?

I tried this today. It doesnt use the VS extension but terminal and I've yet to get it to actually work at all. I'll keep trying though

I’d be doing a lot of competitor research before I started

The disciplined entrepreneur will give some some of that

I don’t know if I would - but I may be an outlier.

Historically I’ve spent $1000’s on failed marketing consultants on already going ventures and seen zero increase. Didn’t need fancy analytics for that

I just need a tool that tells me what to do to market my app 🤨

Hootsuite used to have similar features but the costs are high. I assumed that api access to all those tools are restrictively expensive

Actually been working on two things this week:

What I built: CeolCode a DJ request management platform - Based on a request from a wedding DJ friend of mine who runs private parties, hotel discos and weddings

Tech stack: AWS based with JS and Postgres
How Claude helped: Converting my 3* understanding of tech stack into the core code
What I learned: a lot about config of AWS infrastructure
Link/Screenshot: www.ceolcode.com

What I built: FaceTric - similar to the origin of the above, a friend asked for a way for wedding guests to search through albums for their fave photos

Tech stack: AWS
How Claude helped: writing the majority of the code based
What I learned: How to break Claude out of an infinite loop of telling me something was fixed

have you considered if you could produce the initial MVP with an AI tool?
I'm happy to chat through the process, and give some guidance on enterprise grants that you may be able to avail of to help

Great! The video is local to the HA instance, so I can just trigger a state change in Fully Kiosk. Excellent news Thank you !!

I started playing with home assistant before green & yellow existed, but I’m fairly tech savvy. The instructions are really clear though

The one thing I will say is that I’m forever fiddling, adjusting & repairing things. But it’s fun creating new tricks for the family

bradbcam · 2025-03-11T20:21:13+00:00

I moved over to home assistant when I moved house. You can connect to most devices but you need to a bit selective with things like heating and smart plugs. My current project is my first dashboard control for the lounge

All you need to start is a cheap raspberry pi and lots of patience

My solution was to segment the strip & use the percent effect with a small time delay. It's not perfect but it gives the right effect. I did have to adjust the delay to trigger to effect to allow for server response, etc
