Remote starter for PC
What You’ll Need:
- An ESP32-C3 board ⚙️
- Your trusty PC or laptop 🐱💻
- A cup of tea or coffee (your choice!) ☕
- A good mood 😊
Prerequisites
Install Rust (with rustup)
If you don't have rustup installed yet, follow the instructions on the rustup.rs site
Install ESP32 toolchain
If you haven't installed the ESP toolchain yet, here's the link to get started: espressif
Install Cargo Sub-Commands
cargo install cargo-generate
cargo install ldproxy
cargo install espup
cargo install espflash
Let's get started
Copy source code
git clone https://github.com/lnB51/spark
Create a cfg.toml file in the root directory. You can use cfg.toml.example as a template — just update it with your own details.
[spark]
wifi_ssid = "Spark"
wifi_pass = "Remote"
bot_token = "Hello I'm bot token"
bot_owner_id = 12345678
P.S.: You can find your bot_owner_id by visiting Web Telegram. Just open your "Saved Messages" and check the webpage URL for the ID. To get your bot_token, use BotFather on Telegram.
If you're using VSCode, I recommend installing Task runner. I've already set up a task.json file for you, so you can easily build, flash, and monitor with just one click!
Just a heads up—log monitoring from the board is only available in debug mode.
If you're not using VSCode, here are the commands you'll need:
Build (Debug)
cargo build
Build (Release)
cargo build --release
Flash
espflash flash target/riscv32imc-esp-espidf/debug/spark --list-all-ports
Monitor
espflash monitor
Next steps
After you have uploaded the firmware to the board, you will need to solder the following Circuit
To learn more you can use pinout diagram Pinout
Result
Everything is ready, now you can check your work by sending the following commands to the bot 🤖:
/poweron - Turn on the computer
/poweroff - Turn off the computer in normal mode
/reboot - Force reboot the computer (use only if the computer is frozen or you cannot turn it off in the usual way)
Modify the Code for Other Platforms
