so i just finished this new quite complex project with Esp8266 on NodeMCU
a smart box which can do many things:
- open the door and turn light on (through MQTT)
- check if the gate is open (MQTT)
- has 2 status LED
- has a Oled display (128x64px)
- track my 2 websites visitor (through MQTT request and a python script on my raspberry)
- check the temperature and Humidity with a DHT11 module
- has 3 buttons (to open door, turn light, change screen-mode on the display)
- control the room light level (with a LDR module)
so i used all available pin ( i guess)
i just realized that the cpu is really heating... i tried to keep it turned on for about 5/10 minutes but i m quite scared to go longer...
i am powering the device with a dc external supply of 8 volts through the VIN.. but i checked that the device is heating anyway if i power it through the usb port.
what you think about?
am i risking to brick it?
cheers
