LaundrEsp

I finally got around to designing and printing a little enclosure for my LaundrEsp. Everything seems to be working great so far, I'm pretty excited.

Looks like Hackaday picked up the LaundEsp from my Instructable: http://hackaday.com/2016/06/24/how-to-keep-an-unruly-dryer-in-line/

Some interesting comments following the article haha.

I'd also like to say that the I finally installed the latest version of the LaundrEsp and it works really well. So far its reporting exactly as before. I really do need an enclosure though :)

i just got a 3d printer so I've been a little distracted lately but I did find some time to build one of the boards last night.

I'll test it shortly and then design a small 3d printed enclosure for it.

I started getting more confident with my design abilities and decided to make the PCB even smaller. It will be less than 1 sq. inch and it will use a 2 pin JST connector to connect the LDR cable I've made. I've already made an order to @oshpark. Experimenting is fun. I hope it works!

I'm excited to get these up and running. I'm hoping to make some progress this weekend.

I keep getting text messages from my wife that the laundry notifications are working great. She is really finding it helpful. With it going well I decided to take a stab at making it more permanent.

I've never designed a PCB so I took a few hours the other night to try and learn how to use Eagle. This is what I came up with.

I ordered 3 of them from Oshpark and they should be here maybe next week. Here's hoping I did ok. If not, I won't mind taking another stab at it.

At the end of the day this probably isn't any cheaper than say using a Wemos D1 Mini from AliExpress, but it's a fun exercise in learning, and that's what I'm here to do.
