I found this nice project here.
I have transferred it on to the smaller ESP8266-01
Running on an WS2812B 60 LED ring.
Hw is simple:
60 WS2812B powerd with 5Volt and data directly on GPIO2
Some little changes at the ESP8266-Scetch ( to use 60 LED) from Gitgub https://github.com/chrismelba/lightclockwifiv2
and it works perfectly.
Adding two webcommands (ClockOn / ClockOff) and I have an perfeckt Clock,
switched from my FHEM home automation.
Thanks for sharing this nice ESP8266 code.

wich versions of IDE/ESP8266 and boardmanager are you using and which libraries (from manager or external) have you loaded?
With IDE 1.6.5 and ESP8266 1.6.5-1160 and libraries from manager I get compilation errors ...

rgds,

Hey guys,

I've been working on an ESP8266 based project for kickstarter for the past few months. I thought some people might want the code. I've mostly expanded on what others have done, but there are some nice menus etc that people could want?

Key codes you might want:

Open WiFi hotspot to connect and enter local wifi network details
MDNS network location (iOS/OSX)
SSDP network location (Windows)
Access NTS time server
Update automatically from DST server (removed from live code-base)
Drive WS8212B LEDs
Multiple Menus with lots of settings processing.

You can see the pitch for the finished product at http://www.thelightclock.com/explained

We're aiming to be on Kickstarter on the 2nd of Nov, or if you want to build your own I'm developing an instructable.

Thanks so much to the community for helping me get this far

Hi Chris,

I looked at your kickstarter campaign, it looks quite nice, congratulations on your success

I've also had an successful corwdfunding campaign on Indiegogo - LINK.

We created a cool educational robot, controlled by smartphone. Currently it is controlled via bluetooth but I wanted to switch to WiFi to expose the robot to other devices and the internet I have successfully integrated my robot and ESP but I have a problem that you may have overcome in your campaign.

I need a supplier of ESPs that can ship the ESPs with NodeMCU firmware and my LUA scripts already on device. We need to ship ~150 robots by september and really need a way to get ESP chips preprogrammed with my custom firmware.

Thank you,
Vlatko
