Just a quick one to let you know that SmartPoi has a server (running on the lowly ESP8266) which means I can do stuff like this:
The html to do this is now on GitHub here: https://github.com/tomjuggler/SmartPoi-js-utilities – usage is in the README.
Basically it fetches a list of files from the poi and then fetches each compressed binary file in the list, decompresses them and displays the resulting images. Up until now the only way to see what was actually on the poi was to spin them, so this is definitely an improvement. This is all done using the SmartPoi AP – no internet access required!
Any day now* I will be upgrading my poi to work with ESP32 but until then I’m still trying to make the ones I use in my shows better!
*I am aware I have been saying this for a while now 🙂
