You may have noticed that I’ve been working on my ESP8266 home control software (see the updates elsewhere along with new diagram), specifically upgrading and adding to the number of OLED and LCD displays I can handle, either by I2c or SPI. I’ve been doing a lot of optimising and…

The LCD Object
It has been a very busy week for us here in Spain – what with partying and what-not, so I’ve not had as much time as I would like to develop my JavaScript object skills, however, I’ve managed to get much further with a project I’ve been working on in…

QD Tech Displays on the ESP8266
I’ve seen a number of projects using an Arduino and an ESP8266 to drive LCD displays. You may know that my home control has used a 1284-based board (MEGA type) to run a nice Thermostat display for some time now. The displays look very pretty in the right box. THIS…
