The part is also relatively low cost and only requires an additional 4k7 pull up resistor. The sensor comes with three wires: red (5-24VDC power), black (ground) and yellow (Hall effect pulse output). The ATmega32U4 is the same chip used on the Arduino Leonardo. What we are creating here is an IR blaster using a Wemos D1 Mini that connects to Home Assistant via MQTT so we are assuming you have these set up as well.

I can also see from logs that Wemos gets connected successfully and topic receives my messages. A quick and dirty temperature controller for a soldering iron. So I decided to keep all my Wemos Mini devices on the one firmware and as Tasmota is used on most of my devices and is also my favorite, it was time to change out ESP Easy for Tasmota on my IR blaster. MQTT is a publish/subscribe, extremely simple and lightweight messaging protocol, it is designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth. (Motor 1, Motor 2) - this should not be confused with the labels on the encoders (M1 and M2) - Also the Motor Driver has labeled A1, A2 and B1 and B2 which should not be confused with the labels on the encoder (A and B).I am powering the encoders by 5v off the D1 mini.

UP is 1, CENTER is 2, LEFT is 3, DOWN is 4, RIGHT is 5.

And a range of about 1in to 13 ft.I picked this sensor because it appears to work at 3v as well, and only uses one pin for both trigger and echo.This is important because we used a lot of pins for the motors and encoders. This time, things should work.IF not, you may need to flash it again. * Also, if the robot looses it connection to the MQTT broker, it will trigger a motor stop until it can reconnect - the side effect of this is the UDP packets are still waiting to be picked up (even thou, I've attempted to flush them they appear to still be waiting) Unfortunately at this time, there is no feedback to tell the remote that it has lost it's connection to the broker.IF the remote looses it's connection to the MQTT broker, it will also send a stop command to the robot, thou the nature of how UDP works it could be a hit or miss sent command. The hardware side of things is exactly the same so head on over that post if you need more info on the hardware side first. Where obviously, not all residents consume the same amount of water.A DIY solution for block of flats have only one water mater. The above video shows my build, which took about 20 mins to do - with the longest time spent on getting the rubber 'O' ring on the wheels.The Pololu Romi Page has great build instructions. UDP packets can be lost, so many times UDP packets are sent more than once to ensure delivery. (And I just now realized I fat fingered the name of this sketch, and the function call...wow, editing :-) )A note on UDP - the original idea was to always have the remote sending a UDP packet to the robot - The robot quickly became flooded with UDP packets and couldn't handle it (WDT reset were happening quickly, and the robot would go out of control). Note this isn't a precision sensor, and the pulse rate does vary a bit depending on the flow rate, fluid pressure and sensor orientation. The archetype for any sensor includes a microcontroller based on ESP8266 and connectivity though a MQTT broker.Another server with Node-RED make the orchestration and integration of all the sensors and services.The best implementation for this use case is Wemos D1 mini PRO, since a large WiFi range required.

Most of these items can be found on eBay or Aliexpress for a decent price. Wemos D1 Mini IR blaster using Tasmota . For this change to the folder where the cloned files can be found. Most of the HC-SR04 ultrasonics don't work at 3v, but other ultrasonic sensors may work - and would need some code changes.IF you are curious on how ultrasonic sensors work this is a fantastic tutorial on the subject.I found a couple of small spacers, and some long thin screws, the Romi chassis has plenty of mounting holes on the front, and they lined up pretty well. The Wemos D1 mini is cable like a classic Arduino. Espy, iq lxaa seddusj znk Emuwa bw wcz urxwhu tgw bnwm xcudgbpixdc hc vby vhfinmxk bzpun YCFF. There is also a 90 degree set of pins included, these should be soldered to the area marked (VM)(GND) A1 A2 B1 B2 SNow we need to test the driver, we will need to grab the library for it. On my WEMOS D1 mini (V3.0.0) this is easily possible if you connect the two solder pads marked with sleep.From now on (deep sleep on board activated) you need to connect GND and D3 (GPIO0) to program the D1 mini.After you have connected the pins you can flash the script (To run the script  remove the connection between GND and D3 and assemble DHT Shield to D1 mini.Connect D1 mini to a separate power source. A example sketch can be found at the Radio Shack github repository.I would recommend hooking this up and running the test sketch, and verify that it is within the specs listed.The SIG pin on the ultrasonic needs to be hooked to D0 on the D1 mini. It depends on which OS you have. Here is a short tutorial on how to control an 8 channel relay module via MQTT.

This part uses the 1 wire (I2C) bus and you can connect multiple sensors up to your Arduino. A temperature sensor (WEMOS D1 mini combined with DHT shield) programmed with mongoosOS to send data to a mqtt broker We need to install a couple of pieces of software so we can write this firmware to the STM32 microcontroller. Hopefully the motor will start and the wheel will move. The rest of the build is pretty easy. I have mine in just about the center of the front attached to the holding ring around the bottom of the chassis.
