Possible integration with Makapix Club?

[fabkury]

Hi there! This is such a cool device. (And sorry for spamming this message in more than one of its repos.)

Would it be possible to integrate it with Makapix Club?

Repo: https://github.com/fabkury/makapix
Example of a device integrated with Makapix: https://github.com/fabkury/p3a

In short, Makapix Club is a place where devices such as this can obtain pixel art.

Kind regards!

Hi, yes, I think it may be possible, but how will people use that feature on the pro(esp32) device. By the way the ultra model (esp8266) seems more hard to be integrated.

The general idea is that, once connected to the Makapix Club via MQTT, the animations on the device can be changed using the Makapix Club website. The website can send commands to the device.

Makapix Club has a comprehensive MQTT back end to allow player devices to connect, query the database and download artworks (via HTTP). The database queries can be filtered by canvas size, file format and file size for compatibility with microcontrollers.

Makapix Club's goal is to offer all functionalities that a microcontroller device may need. I'm happy to answer any questions.

Is it possible to send the GIF directly to the clock from your site, not just ramdomly download and display, maybe someone wants to pick material directly from your GIF website instead of passively accepting push.

Your website serves as a GIF material library, providing rankings, likes, etc., and displaying popular GIFs. It is indeed a great idea. When people see it and can directly choose to push it to the entity for display, it feels great I think.

Yes it is possible to send 1 animation to the device.

When you have a player device registered to your account, the player bar appears at the bottom of the website.

If you click the "player button" while on a page such as the "Diamond" page, you send the entire channel (the entire page) to the device to play one by one:

If you click the "player button" while looking at 1 artwork, you send that 1 artwork to the device:

If you click the "player button" while on someone's profile, you send that profile to the device:

The same command also works on hashtag pages.

The device can request from the server: GIF, WEBP, PNG or BMP. The server makes the file format conversion.

If GeekMagicClock integrated with Makapix Club, that would be great!
