#WLED

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. buymeacoffee.com/swordforhirei

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 :-)

First full loop and its working great (if you can look past my shitty soldering skills). Really happy with this - can't wait to finish off the first number, but that will have to wait until tomorrow because my eyes are to tired for soldering any more of these sk2816 mini-e LEDs!
