3/ So I gave it a quick clean and tried my best to restore the battery connections as best I could with the limited time available. I popped some new batteries into it and… it lives! 🚚
It’s current owner will be very pleased, I can assure you…
2/ I started tearing it down, and of course one of the first things I did was provide it an external power supply, bypassing the onboard supply, and it sprung to life! An excellent troubleshooting start.
Whilst investigating the battery compartment, I quickly realise the previous owner was indeed not particularly forgiving. The compartment is full of what looks like crisp crumbs and other food items! It was almost as if the previous owner had tried to crush their snacks with the truck…

1/ So it might only be early November, but I've already got the Christmas tree up 🎄Why? Two reasons... the joy it brought to the tiny people in this house, and the fact I've had to wait almost 11 months to try out my homebrew individually addressable RGB tree lights!
Considering what it would cost me to buy these off the shelf, I managed to build them for ~£25 ($30 or so), and an evening of soldering & tinkering with WLED (https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED)
