I released the pilight Arduino Nano code today.
This allows users to use pilight on any computer with a USB port.
Requirements:
- Supported OS.
- USB port.
- Arduino Nano.
- pilight Arduino Nano firmware.
- Latest pilight nightly.
- Sender and/or Receiver
The Arduino Nano firmware can be found here.
Please let me know what your experiences are, i've tested this myself on Windows and Linux.
I will update the Windows installer soon.
New windows installer can be found here
Installing the pilight USB nano firmware on Windows.
- Download the installer.
- Install pilight for Windows.
- Go to c:\pilight\
- Open a console with cmd
- Connect the Arduino Nano to your computer and check to what COM port it's connected, such as COM5
- Flash the pilight usb nano firmware:
- Open c:\pilight\config.json and add the new pilight usb nano:
- Start pilight from your start menu of when you're still in the console through: pilight-daemon.
- To see your devices, you can start pilight-receive while pilight-daemon is active.
Connecting the sender and receiver to the Arduino Nano:
- VCC: 5v
- GND: 0v / GND
- Sender Data: D5
- Receiver Data: D2
Have Fun!
The pilight USB Nano is also for sale! Consider supporting the project instead of buying it yourself.
