Dear vis.social instance mates: I'm off to explore another part of the fediverse: Hachyderm.io! I've always known that vis.social wasn't the best fit for my obsessions--even said so in my intro message to admin, ha. But you all are truly fascinating, intelligent, kind folk, and that's made jumping to another instance a difficult move. Big thanks to @kristinHenry and @artcollisions for making me feel welcome, and to all of you for sharing interesting snippets of your life. I'll miss them.

We have the Pixel Lamb! Aka the Hypno-Sheep.

Just a few more minor board electrical surgeries, and this will be ready to go in the frame.

Finally got a chance to use this Japanese hand saw I got months ago. Perfect for the task! Going to finally make a frame for the lil' lamb. #LED #woodwoork

Laid down 17 of 34 strips today on 4x4' alupanel. 🐑
I have a few questions regarding fuses and also data line length/lag, which I'll take to #pixelblaze forums. Good to finally get some strips down!

I think I have my final LED map for the Pixel Lamb. 1156 total LEDs, with the Lamb consisting of 708 of them. 🐑 ✨

In theory this map will work seamlessly with Pixelblaze c/o the great mapper tool from @jasoncoon 🤞
