Create a basic PCB #16

Closed ccachin closed 7 years ago

ccachin commented 7 years ago

A polyvalent PCB seems to be not so attractive and people are a bit lost when they have to find where to solder the components. Idea is to have a smaller pcb with the only mandatory components.

Can maybe linked with issue #7 Try to use an ESP8266 as brain

I tried PlatformIO recently. It's amazing how the ESP8266 is easy with this platform. Of course we have a lot of refactoring to do... :(

ccachin commented 7 years ago

What kind of refactoring should we do to use PlateformIO?

gaetancollaud commented 7 years ago

Since I used C++ 90% of the code is compatible. The issue will be the led strip and the i2c communication. We have to use other libraries.
