IRC Connected LCD/LED using Arduino
This is initially just a fun project. You connect to an IRC server, join a channel and send commands to an IRC connected Arduino UNO board that has 3 LEDs (Green, Red, Orange) and a 16x2 LCD screen. You can watch this on a live stream on YouTube and the link is provided in the channel because it changes.
Connect to IRC with below details:
IRC Server: irc.freenode.net
IRC Port: 6667
IRC Channel: ##robot
Once you join the ##robot channel you can type @help to see available commands as below:
IRC Arduino LCD/LED Control System v1.1:
@help - to show this help menu.
@LED - to control LEDs.
@LCD1 - Print to LCD, first line.
@LCD2 - Print to LCD, second line.
@LCDCLR - Clear the LCD.
Available LEDs:.
Green LED - Command: @LED1.
Red LED - Command @LED2.
Orange LED - Command @LED3.
You can control multiple LEDs for ex: @LED123.
New ideas and code changes/pull requests are welcomed. You can see both the IRC bot code and the Arduino C code as well.
