I think I’m happy with this enclosure design! All goes together with friction. No screws needed! #3dprinting #3dprinted #wled #rgbled #rgb #neopixel #maker #makers #electronics

They said this wouldn’t work but it bloody well does! Just three more digits to solder up (161 individual LEDs!) and I’ll have a clock!
I’m so glad it does work though because I ordered two hundred of these pcbs 
Last night the band Stealing Sheep joined us for a special #JoyRide listening party. We played their new album on the soundsystem and everyone decked their bikes out in colourful LEDs (inc. lots of @MCQN_Ltd's My Bike's Got LED kits 
)
They performed from the back of the trike and livestreamed it to their socials (sadly they're not on the Fediverse)
Here's a bit from my phone when we were down at the Pier Head
Whelp dang
After far more years than a #Govee strip had any business surviving, the fancy LED lights on my bike "Himin Hestur" gave up the ghost.
BUT what this means is, it's time to rebuild, to improve, to expand. I can acquire the parts needed, the LED strip, the WLED controller. I can learn soldering and WLED programming.
The former strip had something like 20 or 30 LEDs to the meter. I can get one with 60 or more!
Stay tuned if you want to follow the adventure, granted it will be slow going for now. Gigs musical and actorly are in the way a bit rn
If you want to help support the return of the BRIGHTEST BIKE EVER this is my Buy Me A Coffee link. https://buymeacoffee.com/swordforhireinc
Once I have the LED running and the app figured out, you can suggest a lighting pattern for me to use from time to time, and I'll even name it after you!
Cheers all :-)

Ich wollte ein bisschen Farbe in meinem Gaming Room und habe dafür ein paar einfache Komponenten zusammengeworfen:
We're very pleased with these? Built by
@amcewen and @huffeec. Notice those sound reactive lights.
They'll soon to be available on our Tindie https://www.tindie.com/stores/mcqn_ltd
Alternatively just ask us directly.

I've been on a shopping spree! I am all in on the ESP32 now.
5x Wemos Lolin S3 Mini
5x S2 Mini clones
2x Seeed XAIO ESP32S3
2x Seeed XAIO ESP32C3
1x Unexpected Maker Feather S2 Neo
1x Unexpected Maker Feather S3
and I found a SparkThing ESP32 and two Adafruit Huzzah ESP8266 in my junk box.
I've used one of the XAIO S3s for ESPHome and FastLED/PlatformIO so far. Gonna try WLED next.
And I've read 30-40 pages of the S3 data sheet. What a chip!

@hackaday here's another recent collab with Allie (@faetea on IG): a light up cloud! Illustrated by her in the style of Japanese Zuiun clouds, it's supposed to feel light and airy or dark and moody depending on how it's lit.
It's lightweight and portable too. Made with two layers of CNC cut coroplast, light block vinyl, and an aluminum frame, it comes apart in two pieces for transport. I'm driving it with #WLED

Es gibt eine neue Folge der „Sibyllinischen Neuigkeiten“. Die 54. Ausgabe ist ein Follow-up zum Thema #HomeAssistant, in dem wir über unsere Erfahrung mit #ZigBee, #ESPHome und #WLED sprechen.
Den #Podcast findet ihr unter: https://podcast.chaospott.de/2025/01/04/sn053-home-assistant-ii/
Viel Spaß beim Hören. #c3e
Sibyllinische NeuigkeitenSN053 - Home Assistant IIESPHome - ZigBee - 433_rtl - tuya - WLED
In der 54. Folge berichten wir über unsere Erfahrungen aus einem Jahr mit Home Assistant. Während dieses Zeitraums haben wir unsere Installation kontinuierlich erweitert, indem wir verschiedene Aktoren und Sensoren integriert haben.
Ein Beispiel dafür ist die Anbindung eines ZigBee-Netzwerks über ein Gateway, das es uns ermöglicht, Thermostate direkt über Home Assistant zu steuern. Darüber hinaus haben wir mehr als zehn ESPHome-Nodes eingerichtet, die es uns ermöglichen, diverse Geräte zu kontrollieren, darunter unsere Leinwand und die Musikanlage. Außerdem berichten wir darüber, wie wir Steckdosen von proprietärer Software befreit haben!

Ein weiteres (wirklich kleines) Projekt: Ein Teil der LED Leiste an der Kücheninsel zeigt jetzt immer den aktuellen Ladestand unseres #eauto an. Voller Balken entspricht 100%. Realisiert mittels #wled "Percent" Effekt und passender #homeassistant Automation.
In diesen kleinen Dingen spielt ein #smarthome m.E. seine Stärke aus: Unaufdringliche Präsentation von Information, die man regelmäßig benötigt und für die man sonst mühsam das Tablet oder Mobile herausholen muss.

A nice end to the working year.
Today some 22 ohm 0402 resistors turned up and I replaced the incorrect ones on the USB data lines on our My Bike's Got LED prototype boards.
With those two components replaced, the ESP32C3 could see the laptop's attempts to talk to it, and replied.
I can now flash code onto it over USB!

With USB PD support, it's easy to plug the board into a USB C laptop power supply that can provide 20V at up to 5A - even though it's under 24V, we've found the LEDs are just as bright. Looks great, we're going to keep testing and get these boards ordered, hopefully before the year's end!

This is the @hackeriet table at the #38c3 @coldnorth assembly.
We have a string of LED pixels on the table, and an LED strip (2x 5m) hanging from a rope. The rope is tied to @bornhack 's projector screen on one end, and the far end of our table on the other.
We also have some messages printed with a receipt printer which hang from the LED strip.
Everything 12V and fully addressable, running of of two #QuinLED Unos running #WLED

Instead, you can use the open source and free xLights software (https://xlights.org/) which is completely amazing and has a learning curve like a cliff for the first 30 minutes. BUT once you get your controller and layout, it's unbelievably powerful and actually kinda easy to get going with simple display work. It also has a very satisfying preview mode.

Leftovers & layout - WLED board revision A completed!
Sunday night, Babyada went to bed early, so we finished the capture and layout of our WLED board. Thanks to all the suggestions, we were able to implement quite a few!

@falken @revk Got this working quite easily - neat! #WLED #HomeAssistant
oooh exciting @adafruit are working on a driver board for #wled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UmMVZBNgXA
Honey I shrunk the pcb.
@MCQN_Ltd My Bike's got LED board for battery powered WLED.
New version (on the left) with an ESP32 C3 mini, Injoinic battery charging, and a lot less fr-4..
