• Keeps lights on. So, continuous lighting.
• More light effects
• Keeps original waving mechanism. ( Instead of using a Servo )
• mqtt authentication support (can be configured in wifi captive portal)
• a lot of stuff

• catname/eye/mode/set [solid|warp|blink]
• catname/eye/speed/set [slow|med|fast]
• catname/eye/color/set [dark|white|red|green|blue|yellow|cyan|pink]
• catname/paw/command [wink|nowink]

Pinouts are currently set to a wemos d1 mini which fits nicely into such a cat. But I guess any 8266 excep a ESP01 will do it somehow.

• 8266 : Wemos D1 Mini
  • at least three GPIOs:
    • "Force Setup" Button
    • LED Data input (only one for both leds, both could(!) be controlled individually, anyway.
    • Waving "electronic" from Cat :)
• pushbutton ( "force setup button")
• Cat : 22cm (~9 inch) lucky cat
• Adafruit addressable LEDs: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12999
• 220 Ohm Resistor in Data line to the LEDs.
• A lot of hot glue.

The Sketch uses the famous WifiManager. If you press the "force setup button" while powering the device, it'll loose all of it's settings and will fall back into WifiManager's AP mode.

Original lucky cat electronic can directly be driven by gpio (4-10mAh).

Code needs to be wiped through. A lot of Spaghetti and globals layin on the ground...
