Public Source Code Release

[Keith]

The first release of code is now up on github. You can find it at https://github.com/warcollar/DopeScope

Note:
For cross platform compatibility, this code uses platformIO as the development environment. Information on how to get this set up will be available in the forums.

Getting started with platformIO

Rather than re-invent the wheel, please take a look at this link to learn how to install platformIO and get the basic setup working.

For more information on the environment then read the platformIO get started page.

Once this is configured, you have everything to build and reflash the esp8266. Just clone the repo, tell platformIO where to find the files and hit the upload icon.

Expansion Header.

Right at the edge of the board inside the battery compartment is a header that we implemented to allow for the attachment of additional devices and/or switches.

The pinout for the header (from the top of the board downwards is:

The pinout for the IO connector is

O GPIO2 \
O GPIO0 / I2C also used by the OLED display
O GPIO13
O GPIO12
O GPIO14
O GPIO4 [solder mask says G5]
O 3v3
O Ground

Sample code for interfacing with a switch will be posted to the github repo once it has finished testing.


WARNING

These pins are connected directly to the ESP8266 and are not buffered or protected other than the stuff internal to the chip. A static discharge to a pin could fry your DopeScope.
