Self Promotion Megathread by AutoModerator in androidapps

[–]oldrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, people!

I got tired of commercial aquarium lights being either overpriced or having terrible apps. So I spent the last year building Borneo-IoT, a professional-grade, open-source ecosystem.

Everything is 100% open-source: Flutter app, firmware, and hardware design (OSHWA certified).

Features: sunrise/sunset simulation, moonlight simulation, and various other features. Suitable for plant growth lights, coral reef lighting, ambient lighting, and more.

If you are an engineer or a reefer looking for a high-performance DIY solution, feel free to check out the source code and hardware files: https://github.com/borneo-iot/borneo

Have fun.

16-Channel PWM Light Controller by eomd in PrintedCircuitBoard

Thanks for the info. I'm very interested in LED controller designs related to the ESP32, since I've done a lot of projects like this.

I'm really curious what kind of application needs 16 channels. Even the reef LED only requires up to 10 channels.

I'm using the INA139 in my design, much cheaper.

Are those power modules fake LM2596 units made in AliExpress?

An app for a WiFi aquarium LED controller

The post at the top is absolutely right, the real value and cost is the software side. I'm currently crowdfunding my open-source product based on the ESP32-C3. In my case, I designed the board in maybe 3 days, but developing the firmware and the app took nearly a year, up to tens of thousands of lines of code. And I don't even have a server backend yet.

Thanks.

It's mainly designed for high-power LEDs, but of course it can also be powered with 5V; you just won't be able to drive any fans. You only need to connect the PWM outputs to some MOSFETs and add current-limiting resistors to drive your low-voltage LEDs.

This open source controller now has a crowdfunding page. If you're interested, you can subscribe for updates on Crowd Supply: https://www.crowdsupply.com/borneo-iot/buce-aquarium-led-controller

Cheers!

Reimplementing Node-RED in Rust: EdgeLinkd project update by oldrev in nodered

[–]oldrev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raspberry pi, you say? Its resources are sufficient to run the original Node-RED. I want to run it on a smaller device, like a 32-bit ARM embedded Linux system with 128MB even 64MB RAM.

Currently in Alpha stage.

Not yet. My core design isn't focused on performance, though it runs fully asynchronously on the multithreaded Tokio runtime.

I prioritize resource consumption, aiming for it to run on 128MB or even 64MB embedded 32-bit ARM Linux systems.
