DIY nanoleaf replica control software

Currently designed for:

• ESP8266 microcontroller
• WP2812B strand lights
• Light panels

Current + Planned features:

• Flexible tile arrangements
• Brightness
• On/off
• Light modes
• Palette switching

Automatic - cycles through these patterns:

• Fade - single color fade transitions
• Fire - warm color palette mimicking firelight
• Firefly - darn nighttime with fireflies
• Pulse - single color pulses through the tiles
• Rainbow - chasing rainbow lights
• Starburst - tile color explosion and fade

Single - lock to single pattern above

Manual - toggle individual tiles on/off or color

Debugging the web app:

1. cd webapp
2. npm install
3. npm run start

Publishing the web app to the ESP8266

1. cd webapp
2. npm run build
3. In the Arduino IDE: Tools | ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload

Running on the Arduino:

1. Open picotile.ino
2. Upload the data folder into SPIFFS memory
3. Run project

Intial setup (wifi configuration):

1. TBD
