Lining up a new project for this year's Wooly Fair in Providence, which will likely be a massive (8' tall?) pixelated lamb where each pixel is a discrete LED panel (3"x3" or so), perhaps touch-sensitive for color changing. This should be a fun one!
Built a hacky model so I could better visualize the 'pixels' of the sheep, and the wiring that will live within.
I'm thinking that I could hang individual LEDs in the middle of each section, and have it display on both sides. #LED friends, do they make individual neopixel LEDs that are in the bulb form? I saw some at Adafruit but would prefer not to pay a dollar a bulb.
Bonus content: check out my friend's ceramic, wood fired flasks!
During last night's Wooly worknight, I made a test cube to determine if I'd have enough luminosity from a single #LED diode about 3" from the diffusion material, in this case printer paper. I'll have another diode on the other side, back to back, but I'm thinking I'll need to use two on each side instead of one. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-32k1MzmHXQ
First part of a new long term home project coming in. An #Ubiquiti PoE+ switch to power a small #Kubernetes cluster built using #raspberrypi nodes. Going to blog about every step once it has been completed. But it is going to be a few quarters long project doing bit by bit
Waiting for a #LEGO Pick a Brick order with "some" parts for the nodes housing. One of the major lessons from the last few days was that the USB <-> SATA adapter #LED blinking during the night can affect our sleep. And I prefer a good night rest, so will attempt to build a less
It was fun to do this #LEGO build for the 3rd time with all the new insights from the 2nd build. This is what became the SSD enclosure (with human sleep improvement change (a.k.a. known as let us not leak #LED light)):
