#wled
I made (and documented) a round pixelated display to carry around using 3Dprinting, #WLED and a stick. Its audio reactive, that means it listens to music and blinks accordingly to the beat: A festival totem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_totem)
There is also #meshtastic node inside to share your location

The Brightest Bike Rides Again
This time with details and links in the description
I think I’m happy with this enclosure design! All goes together with friction. No screws needed! #3dprinting #3dprinted #wled #rgbled #rgb #neopixel #maker #makers #electronics
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 
What started off as trash in the street, then became disused trash in a friend's garden after they ran out of space for it, has become a shiny new 2D LED Matrix wall in Birkenhack after a good cleanup in the sink. There are five ingredients to this LED Matrix wall:
1. Plastic Bottles
2. Standard British Milk Crates
3. Tinfoil
4. LEDs
5. Esp32 running #WLED software
Last night the band Stealing Sheep joined us for a special #JoyRide listening party. We played their new album on the soundsystem and everyone decked their bikes out in colourful LEDs (inc. lots of @MCQN_Ltd's My Bike's Got LED kits 
)
They performed from the back of the trike and livestreamed it to their socials (sadly they're not on the Fediverse)
Here's a bit from my phone when we were down at the Pier Head
I now have a WLED instance running on an ESP32-C3 and talking to Home Assistant. It wasn't a simple journey in any way, but now it works.
I'm just not sure what to do with it. WLED seems to have a fairly limited set of animations which are too busy for general illumination but not interesting enough for entertainment. Maybe I'm missing things.
@reconbot @brennx0r Vivaldi 6.9.3447.54 is just the same.
I set up a Raspberry Pi with a brand new instance of Raspberry Pi OS. Chromium is preinstalled. It sees the ESP32 serial port, and I was able to flash my ESP32. The image is in a crash loop, but that's a different problem. (Trying to get WLED working on an ESP32 S3.)
I'll look into installing a Linux of some kind in a VM on the Mac, I guess.
Whelp dang
After far more years than a #Govee strip had any business surviving, the fancy LED lights on my bike "Himin Hestur" gave up the ghost.
BUT what this means is, it's time to rebuild, to improve, to expand. I can acquire the parts needed, the LED strip, the WLED controller. I can learn soldering and WLED programming.
The former strip had something like 20 or 30 LEDs to the meter. I can get one with 60 or more!
Stay tuned if you want to follow the adventure, granted it will be slow going for now. Gigs musical and actorly are in the way a bit rn
If you want to help support the return of the BRIGHTEST BIKE EVER this is my Buy Me A Coffee link. https://buymeacoffee.com/swordforhireinc
Once I have the LED running and the app figured out, you can suggest a lighting pattern for me to use from time to time, and I'll even name it after you!
Cheers all :-)

My Space Station infinity mirror is getting close to a final alpha. Printing some last test pieces and then it's off to the races.

We're very pleased with these? Built by
@amcewen and @huffeec. Notice those sound reactive lights.
They'll soon to be available on our Tindie https://www.tindie.com/stores/mcqn_ltd
Alternatively just ask us directly.

My ESP32 WLED is runnig hot after just a few hours of driving 720 RGB LEDs. Getting white flickering over the whole strip.
Need to change something. Send help.
It's _probably_ because I'm running the power for the strip through the ESP32. I'll take some time to change that over the weekend.
I've been on a shopping spree! I am all in on the ESP32 now.
5x Wemos Lolin S3 Mini
5x S2 Mini clones
2x Seeed XAIO ESP32S3
2x Seeed XAIO ESP32C3
1x Unexpected Maker Feather S2 Neo
1x Unexpected Maker Feather S3
and I found a SparkThing ESP32 and two Adafruit Huzzah ESP8266 in my junk box.
I've used one of the XAIO S3s for ESPHome and FastLED/PlatformIO so far. Gonna try WLED next.
And I've read 30-40 pages of the S3 data sheet. What a chip!
@hackaday here's another recent collab with Allie (@faetea on IG): a light up cloud! Illustrated by her in the style of Japanese Zuiun clouds, it's supposed to feel light and airy or dark and moody depending on how it's lit.
It's lightweight and portable too. Made with two layers of CNC cut coroplast, light block vinyl, and an aluminum frame, it comes apart in two pieces for transport. I'm driving it with #WLED
One slight bummer about upgrading my #volumio music project to a #raspberrypi 4b was that I had to get rid of my little box that held the Pi Zero 2w so well.
But tonight I'm happy to have repurposed it as a house for both a local #WLED install and my #pihole and that it will continue to take decals.
A nice end to the working year.
Today some 22 ohm 0402 resistors turned up and I replaced the incorrect ones on the USB data lines on our My Bike's Got LED prototype boards.
With those two components replaced, the ESP32C3 could see the laptop's attempts to talk to it, and replied.
I can now flash code onto it over USB! 
Happy new year! May it be a good one.
#WLED ( https://kno.wled.ge/ ) webfrontend has a special background, nice idea!
