My BFF wanted to have some light-up eyes for a costume that she's making, specifically ones that would react when she spoke. So I made her this little assembly, which holds some round LED boards a nice distance away from some LED black acrylic. I'm driving them with WLED running on an Adafruit Mini Sparkle Motion board so it can be powered off a battery pack. The built-in mic means she can have her voice-reactive eyes too!

So it begins. At Lime St station in #Liverpool. Next stop Glasgow, then cycling the canal to Edinburgh #OHS2025
Think I'm visible enough? 
Today I designed and fabricated a new parametric spool to wind up my addressable fairy/pebble/seed LED light strands. This one holds 40 meters of lights which I use for trail lighting at outdoor events. I use it in conjunction with battery-powered WLED controllers for fun animated trail lights.

Kleines #WLED Projekt bringt endlich Licht an den Badspiegel. Seit 3 Jahren hingen da Drähte über den Spiegel und ich habe keine vernünftige Lampe gefunden. Also von AliExpress fertige WLED Platine, BTF Led Stripes (IP65), ein Netzteil. Von Amazon die Profile. Vom Baumarkt Wandsteckdose, zwei Regalbretter, kleinere Sachen zum Befestigen. Etwas Löten, etwas Bohren, zurechtsägen, an die Wand pinnen fertig. WLED konfiguriert. Nun nur noch #Homeassistant mit Schalter verheiraten (#Zigbee).
Almost finished! I just need to glue the sections together and I think I can call the hardware side of this project done and dusted!
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 
So I created a #WLED gateway for a clients media system that is a show controller & what not. Setup a config that spits out presets to WLED from the system's frame accurate UDP packets that keep videos in sync.
Right now I am having it change WLED presets every second, or in this case, every 30 frames. I should have cranked the brightness down before saving the presets because it is currently annoying the shit out of me & it still has a couple of hours of testing to go 
oooh exciting @adafruit are working on a driver board for #wled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UmMVZBNgXA
A thread of some of my LED projects, for posterity.
One of my favourites, sound reactive LED rollerskates.
Running WLED on a ESP8266 D1 mini pro on each skate (don't ask, one of my first projects). Which are controlled by an exterior ESP32 with a microphone attached.
The left pair were for my friend for a performance we did.
Today I updated an old edge lit matrix build with a new #WLED control board, the QuinLED Dig-Uno. This project will be part of an exhibit of various kinds of displays at SupplyFrame that will be viewable during #supercon2024 and afterwards.
built #wled with #dmx support and tested with #esp8266, #esp32 and #esp32_eth. Configuring the DMX side isn't hard but it has to be dead on for your fixture(s).
Works really good actually and will probably work out pretty good for an upcoming project.
Anyone know if I could use the Enttec DMX box and read what wled is spitting out? Need a 5-pin male to 3-pin female xlr cable first.
My daughter asked for a music responsive lamp for her room.
I had designed this shade in #openscad a while ago and it seemed perfect for this.
I added a ring of 35 LEDs and an off the shelf sound responsive module from aliexpress. Easy build.
My usual plan is an #esp32 and #WLED but I wanted her to be able to control it and this little rf remote is much easier.
I think it turned out pretty nice.
Who amongst us hasn’t gotten stuck when hanging their new pegboards because they ran out of both 5v microcontrollers and level shifters?
Taking a break on hanging this skadis pegboard until I can get these LEDs under control. If you’re not backlighting your pegboard why even have it.
@eikenberry if you want to build your own, #wled has a sound-reactive fork at https://github.com/atuline/WLED/wiki
I recently revamped my custom kitchen island lamp to be driven by WLED instead of an overpowered sACN-based addressable LED driver. Now I've got fun animated party lights in the kitchen without needing to run a whole workstation!
The previous setup needed a Python script running on my NAS just for on/off basic functionality, which was a bit much. Thankfully Home Assistant makes it easy to keep the interface similar even though I'm changing out all the plumbing below.
