Based on the message received, the ESP32 lights up a NeoPixel strip in a certain color (with the help of Adafruits's [Arduino NeoPixel library](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel)).\n\n## Getting Started\n- Visit [medium.com](https://jakesmd.medium.com/how-to-make-a-wifi-recording-sign-for-your-home-studio-f672b03b75f9) or [instructables.com](https://www.instructables.com/Wifi-Recording-Sign-Controlled-by-Your-DAW/) for a detailed tutorial on how to make your own for less than $20.\n- Visit [thingiverse.com](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4800637) for more info on 3D printing an awesome case for it.\n\n---\n# Recording Sign 2.0 is coming soon!!!\nLove the Recording Sign? Well keep an eye out because the next version is coming as soon as I have time!\n## Problems with the current version:\n- WiFi credentials are hardcoded. This means the user has to edit the code and people with no programming experience will find that a bit intimidating.\n- The user has to install some \"random\" software to upload the code but will never need the software again.\n- It draws an unnecessary amount of power when not being used (99.9% of the time).\n- For some reason one of mine wasn’t particularly reliable.\n\n## Coming soon:\n- Enter the WiFi credentials from your smartphone.\n- Upload the code from a website via the [esptool-js](https://github.com/espressif/esptool-js) package.\n- 100% guaranteed it will work on MacOS now that I have the possibility to test it.\n- Clever power saving stuff.\n- OTA (automatically updates the code from the latest version on GitHub)\n- A complete overhaul of the tutorials as they are not 100% correct.\n- Multiple programs for different use cases (instead of NeoPixels):\n  - Power an RGB strip\n  - Toggle an LED\n  - Toggle a relay (to turn a lamp on and off for example, or anything you want!)\n\n## Other things I'm concidering\n- Make it battery powered.\n- A new case design.\n- A custom PCB.\n- YouTube video and YouTube Short\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjakesmd%2Frecording-sign","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjakesmd%2Frecording-sign","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjakesmd%2Frecording-sign/lists"}
