Gyrophare

The "Gyrophare" (warning light, in french) is an IoT device located in the middle of the hackerspace (at least when this page was written).

Control

You can control the Gyrophare via HTTP by calling a GET on /on and on /off.

Its current IP address is static (hardcoded in the WeMos) and is 62.220.135.210. Its URL is: gyro.fixme.ch.

For example:

curl http://gyro.fixme.ch/on 
curl http://gyro.fixme.ch/off
curl http://62.220.135.210/on 
curl http://62.220.135.210/off

Note that both request (also GET http://62.220.135.210/) are answered with a OK.


Warning Warning: Sending to much request will make it freeze and stop responding, making it impossible to turn off. Do not do it.


Hardware

The hardware is the following:

  • WeMos D1 Mini
  • Relay Shield for WeMos D1 Mini
  • A red warning light (230V)


Warning Warning: Be careful: there is high voltage (230V) in this hack. It's pretty well isolated, except for the relay screws, but unplug the system if you want to look at it.
