I was wondering about the choice of using an ESP32 alongside an ESP8266, specifically the D1 mini. It seems like integrating an ESP8266 (without ESP32 or D1 mini) directly into the main board could streamline the design. Perhaps the main PCB could handle color detection and also manage WiFi connectivity - initially setting up its own network for a direct connection to input WiFi details, then connecting to the specified network upon reboot. If the connection fails, it could automatically revert to hotspot mode after a short delay. This approach might reduce costs and complexity. The inclusion of both an ESP32 and a D1 mini seems a bit redundant. Given the compact size of the main PCB, it appears quite portable on its own. Nonetheless, I find this project to be incredibly fascinating and innovative!
Thank you! I've been wanting something like this to build off of. I'm an artist and need multiple rotating/flowing light sources to get full effect...and I just tear electronics apart currently. this looks like...um...amazing to me
For anyone (else) curious the switch is a "Surface Mount Navigation Switch"

Very nice design! I think I never saw anybody using the touch pins on the ESP
Wonderful 👍
Next, we just need an RFC pantone replacement.
cool project 🤙🏻
I would love to see this device as a controller for the RGB lights of a PC
Nice build, how many hours does a project like this take you generally?
Where can i learn this things? From basic to advance?
What is the three way switch called?
Also wondering. That looks super useful for my own projects
@tugten @Evwan spent an evening looking, but I got it - "Surface Mount Navigation Switch"
Hello It's very good thank you
whats the part number for that little rocker switch? I'm having trouble finding it
HOW MUCH ???
damn
