# Esp8266-Laser
Wifi Host for the Arduino-Laser-Spirograph
## HTTP endpoints:
* /spirograph
* **GET** returns laser and motor values (0 at startup)
* **POST** sets new value(s)
* laser=1-128 (1:permanent, 2-127 pulse, 128 off)
* motor1=1-128
* motor2=1-128
* motor3=1-128
* /preset
* **POST** sets new value(s) to Preset
* nr=presetNr (1-128)
* laser=1-128 (1:permanent, 2-127 pulse, 128 off)
* motor1=1-128
* motor2=1-128
* motor3=1-128
* apply=true -> run preset
* /presetMode
* **GET** returns current mode
* **POST** sets mode 0: presetsOff 1: cycle (not completed feature)
* /presets
* **GET** returns /presets.json
* /wificonfig
* **GET** returns wifi settings
* **POST** sets new wifi setting{s}
* apMode=0: will try to connect to SSID first, 1: will directly start the AP
* SSID=ssid
* password=password
* save=true will save config to spiffs, false will only change RAM variable (useful for onetime ap joins)
* apply=true will reset wifi and try to connect with new param (buggy atm)
* /heap
* **GET** returns free heap of the ESP8266
* /files
* **GET** returns list of files
## Install
- install arduino ide (1.8.5) or PlatformIO (see Development section for further instructions)
- follow this instruction
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino#installing-with-boards-manager
- clone/exctract repo to sketchbook
- install this libaries
https://github.com/plerup/espsoftwareserial
https://github.com/bblanchon/ArduinoJson/
- follow this instruction:
set wifi parameters in data/wifi.json before upload
http://esp8266.github.io/Arduino/versions/2.0.0/doc/filesystem.html#uploading-files-to-file-system
You may also need to:
- get and install driver for nodemcu

## Development
### PlatformIO
----------
The project is intended to run on PlatformIO and the build environment is configured for NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module).
More informations: http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/espressif8266.html
Following libraries need to be installed via PIO Home / Libraries:
- SoftwareSerial
- ArduinoJson
Use following commands to build and upload the firmware and filesystem:
```
# clean the build directory
pio run -t clean
# run default build job / build the formware
pio run
# upload the firmware
pio run -e nodemcu -t upload
# build the filesystem
pio run -t buildfs
# upload the filesystem
pio run -t uploadfs
```
PlatformIO tasks can also be triggered with following npm run commands (pio / platformio executable needs to be in $PATH):
```
build:fs
upload:fs
build:firmware
upload:firmware
```
### Frontend
--------
Frontend development requires NodeJS / npm.
The development server watches all files in the frontend directory and automatically builds and copies the frontend code to the data folder.
```
### install dependencies
npm install
### run development server on port 8080
npm run dev
### build distribution source to data folder
npm run build
```
