What have you built?

This isn't an issue, but not sure where else to talk about this.

I just finished proof of concept of a Check-in security badge we use at our Church.

What have you guys/gals built using Badgy?

I've built a small status monitor for my GitLab issues from work that refreshes hourly. A few coworkers have already told me they'd like something similar.

I built an actual name badge (I am not very creative).

It is a first generation badgy (blue PCB) with a custom 3D printed frame (Nylon filament) and a magnetic clothing attachment glued to the back. It randomly cycles through various teacher certifications every few minutes using the ESP deep sleep (I tried to do a linear slideshow using system_rtc_mem to count and store the index of which logo to display, but failed. So now it just randomly picks one each wake-up)

Great Ideas!

I‘m working on a train station dashboard. (I‘d like to know how much time is left for drinking coffee before I‘m ready to go.)

Edit: Just uploaded the code here

@boettner I love that! That's so cool!

I just made a desktop display last night.

I wish on/off switch was a bit more accessible for the case. Can the button be used to do a reset?

@bwente - looks gorgeous! (funny joke too!!) You could re-purpose the main button to be used in the sketch to trigger an ESP_reset. You'd need to check for it being pressed in the loop, and then trigger a function to call the ESP to reset.

@bwente - this example may help you with your wrapping issue:

`char str[] ="Hello World! Here is some text. I need them to split into multiple lines without breaking the words.";
const int wantedLength = 20;

const char * split (const char * s, const int length)
{
// if it will fit return whole thing
if (strlen (s) <= length)
return s + strlen (s);

// searching backwards, find the last space
for (const char * space = &s [length]; space != s; space--)
if (*space == ' ')
return space;

// not found? return a whole line
return &s [length];
} // end of split

void setup ()
{
Serial.begin (115200);
Serial.println ();

const char * p = str;

// keep going until we run out of text
while (*p)
{
// find the position of the space
const char * endOfLine = split (p, wantedLength);

// display up to that
while (p != endOfLine)
  Serial.println (*p++);
  
// finish that line
Serial.println ();

// if we hit a space, move on past it
if (*p == ' ')
  p++;
}

} // end of setup

void loop () { }`
