# Flash light / alarm light controller
## Overview
This app controls a turning flash light by controlling a motor driver. This could be used as a generic motor driver app as well, but so far it isn't. ;-)
Hardware used:
- Wemos ESP8266 (any should work)
- Wemos Motor Driver
Be aware, that the Wemos Motor Driver is delivered with a software bug, that stalls the driver, after which it does not accept any further commands until it is reset again. You may fix this by applying a software update to the Motor Driver board, see https://hackaday.io/project/18439-motor-shield-reprogramming or https://oberguru.net/elektronik/wemos/wemos-motor-shield.html.
Nevertheless, this software has been changed to cope with the bug, thus it should work even with the buggy firmware installed.
## How to install this app
- Install and start [mos tool](https://mongoose-os.com/software.html)
