MAC Address
In order to find the MAC address the firmware must be up to date. Update firmware with the command photon in DFU mode and entering
particle update
It appears the only way to check MAC address is with the serial monitor in Particle Desktop
Put the photon in listening mode
m for mac address
i for device ID
v for version
NEW USER
useradd -m -s /bin/bash username
M flag sets up home directory
S flag makes sure it is using bash
SSD1306
For Photon using the default code in the Libraries. The following connections work
MOSI = A5
CLK = A3
RST = D5
CS = D4
DC = D3
passwd username
whoami
usermod -s /bin/bash username
echo $SHELL
Recording Sound
The following is example code that can be used to record the duration of button presses and play them back. The example code is can only record five durations, but the code can be set to record any number.
unsigned long duration[7];
int count, next, last;
void setup() {
pinMode(7, INPUT_PULLUP);
}
void loop() {
int y = digitalRead(7); //READ BUTTON
if (y == LOW ) { //IF BUTTON IS PRESSED
next = millis(); //STORES LAST READING FROM TIMER
duration[count++] = next - last; //STORES DIFF BETWEEN PRESENT
AND LAST READING
last = next; //SETS THE PRESENT READING AS THE LAST READING
tone(3, 440, 100); //PLAYS A TONE
delay(200); //ADDS A DELAY FOR THE BUTTON PRESS
}
if (count == 5) { //IF THE USER HAS PRESSED THE BUTTON FIVE TIMES
delay(1000); //CREATE A PAUSE BEFORE PLAYING THE STORED SOUND
for (int x = 1; x <= 5; x++) { //PLAY THE FIVE TONES
tone(3, 440, 100); //PLAY TONE
delay(duration[x]); //WAIT THE RECORDED DURATION
}
count = 0; //RESET THE COUNT TO ZERO FOR THE NEXT RECORDING
}
}
