DomI've not been very vocal on here in a while, but it feels good to see some familiar faces popping up in my feed again. Here is a project I've been working on. Meet #PixelClock! It's all #3Dprinted and just holds a strip of #WS2812B LEDs (60LEDs/M) and an ESP32 WROOM running custom firmware that I've been working on. I'll share files on #prusa #printables soon™ #3dprinter #3dp #pixel #pixeldisplay #maker @makemagazine
RommudohInspired by my last #WS2812B #PCB, I decided to do a smaller version and try to add a USB C connector. I'm very pleased how it turned out. The LEDs are not as close to each other as last time, but I still used my hot plate to solder them. And hot air for the back side.
Again, manufactured by @aislerhq and designed using @kicad

Here are the boards! I soldered a first one by hand, but the #WS2812B #LEDs are very close to each other. So some have burn marks. Hot air is no option, it would burn them up. So, I bought a hot plate and tried again. It's so much faster and easier! And it worked directly after #soldering.
I only need better solder paste, this one was difficult to clean.

Mignon. (un peu comme dans VLC...)
Since it'll take some time for the PCBs to arrive, I decided to make a #prototype on #perfboard. It works fine, and I can test my programs using it. Turns out an #ATtiny814 is good enough for the task.
The #WS2812B #SMD #LEDs are very bright, though, and reducing brightness also reduces the possible color range.
The different color shadings are not very distinguishable, yet. I might have to adjust the color palette.

Giles of the JungleI've been toying with those neat #WS2812B addressable LED strips. Very cool.
The Open Source #WLED controller does a decent job of handling them from an ESP32.
However, I have completely failed to get it to listen to (wired) DMX. That's one of my use cases and the reason I started playing. Problem is, it's a new feature in the Nightlies so a bit bleeding edge.
So I'm pondering creating my own controller on an Arduino.
Might be fun designing an effects engine for the hell of it.

Suite à une question de Victor, j’ai testé une solution fiable basée sur le SPI matériel.
