Motivation: I love astronomy and astrophotography very much. I am sure that like me, all amateur astronomers would want a inexpensive personal observatory for taking pictures of the fabulous universe. Astrophotography, especially deep-sky photography, requires high precision in tracking (to counter the earth’s rotation) and focusing. A decent equatorial mount plus autoguider can take care

The ESP8266 is a wonderful microcontroller. They can be purchased cheaply and have built in wifi. In this guide I will not go over how to flash the ESP8266 module with the basic firmware as this is covered on the http://ESP8266basic.com web site in detail. All the parts to build this project can be found on ebay

I know! You’re thinking: “Oh god… another ESP temperature and humidity silly project…” but wait! Here are the characteristics that might interest you: this data logger can run for 55 days before the memory is full (considering a 15 minutes sampling rate and a 64K SPIFFS) It can run for 43+ months before running out of battery (considering a 15 minutes sampling rate)

Note: updated with new firmware, a schematic and a tips for a programmer. A couple of years I embarked on my own home automation project. It started off by building a server controlled 433 MHz transmitter build with an Arduino to switch lots of cheap PT2262 based remote switches. Later I added an Arduino based
