Getting started
The Hub
Well… the first step to start with d-diot is to build your own hub.
At the moment this step requires a discrete amount of your time, because a pre-soldered board is not yet available, but the building process is part of the fun and following the steps of the guides it is not a so difficult task!
The Hub v.1.0 and v.2.0 are a combination of a Raspberry Pi and an expansion board (d-diot board), while the hub v.3.0 is a wifi multi-gateway (IR, 433 Mhz, Mysensors) based on ESP8266 and ESP32 modules, independent from the Raspberry Pi.
The reasons and the advantages of the hub v.3.0 are described in this post.
Sensors and actuators
A series of sensors and actuators, all 3d printable, are part of the d-diot project, visit the dedicated page to know more.
Below the links for each category of devices:
d-diot image for your Raspberry Pi 3 and 4 (hub v.1.0 and v.2.0)
The software part is easy, simply download the d-diot image and burn it to an SD card. The d-diot image is required for the hub v.1.0 and v.2.0.
ESP8266 - ESP32 - Arduino firmware for hub v.3.0
The hub v.3.0 is built with a series of ESP and Arduino modules. The firmware of each module is in the github repo.
