Hello all!

My name is Brian Lough and I make electronics projects usually with ESP8266 and ESP32 through the Arduino environment.

I write a lot of Open Source Arduino projects and libraries that I normally demonstrate on my YouTube Channel

Some of my more popular projects/libraries are:

  • Universal Arduino Telegram Library - An Arduino library for interfacing with the Telegram Messenger Bot API that. Mainly for the ESP8266 and ESP32, but it should run on any device that supports HTTPS
  • Arduino YouTube API Library - A library for fetching your YouTube channel statistics directly from their API. YouTube recently made changes to their API that rounds this value down, but it still can be useful.
  • WiFi Tetris Clock - A project built using an RGB LED Matrix and an ESP32 where the time is displayed using falling tetris blocks!

I would really appreciate the support so I continue making libraries and giving back to the community!

@witnessmenow

I would love to spend more time working on open source projects to share with you all, and reaching this number that is impossible for me to pronounce is a huge step on that journey!

The Three Tier 🌲

Thank your for your support! You will be helping purchase the parts and equipment I need to do the things I do. It will also allow me to take on more ambitious/expensive projects.

Perks:
There will be no additional perks for higher tiers for now. Any additional perks cost time and while I absolutely appreciate the generosity of your contribution, I would prefer to focus my time on developing the best content and material that I can, which is probably the reason why you are here in the first place.
