Note for POLYUCS Edison Traffic Light

Last modified by Victor Zhang on 00:27, 22/07/2020

  • Download package: Source Code for arduino (Currently hard coded)
  • Makes use of FreeWiFi via POLYU (with a workaround)
  • Makes use of mqtt.eclipse.org
  • Announce topic: POLYUCS/esp8266/shared/pub (will have start msg and ping msg)
  • Config topic: POLYUCS/esp8266/devices/ESP8266Client-bcddc22df583/pub
    • If switch device should then be : POLYUCS/esp8266/devices/<device-id>/pub
  • Worked on top of Clifford Choy's implementation
  • Commands and example:
    • Set sequence timer, in ms, d[green, greenblink, yellow, red]: 
      {
        "c": "setTime",
        "d": [5000,5000,5000,5000]
      }
    • Set blink on off time, in ms, d[ontime, offtime]:
      {
        "c": "setBlink",
        "d": [500,200]
      }
    • Set brightness, d:0..255
      {
        "c": "setBrt",
        "d": 128
      }
    • Reboot, d:<a number hardcoded>
      {
        "c": "reboot",
        "d": 1234
      }
  • To change Defaults (Starting from Line405):
    int brt = 255;
    const unsigned long max_seq_time[] = {120000, 60000, 60000, 120000}; // for now not allowing more than 2 minutes
    unsigned long seq_time[] = {20000, 5000, 4000, 25000};  // default green, blink, yellow, red
    unsigned long blink_time[] = {400, 200};
  • MQTTBox settings:
