#1segrgb — Public Fediverse posts

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!

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 #1segrgb

Eugh, I’m having a really hard time visualising the #3dprinted enclosure for my seven segment clock project. Can’t quite decide how to take it to the next level. #1segrgb

And just like that we have a functioning clock! currently running on a propmaker RP2040 but I will probably have to move over to something WiFi enabled before long #pcb #electronics #maker #RP2040 #RaspberryPi #jlcpcb #circuitpython @adafruit #1segrgb

Three hours, 23 PCBs and 161 leds. I’m done in.

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 😂

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!

New #PCB day! I’ve tested continuity and everything seems to be working as intended. Just need to make up a second board so I can test if it does what it’s supposed to!

V2 of my 1-seg #PCB concept is pretty much ready with through hole pads for adding wires (thanks to @LovesTha for the suggestion), fixed some bugs (thanks to @PossiblyMax for catching) AND added a bunch more pads to open up even more usage options too! /thread #electronics #maker #rgb #1segrgb

Yesterday I got a little bit hyperfocused on designing a little #electronics kit that allows you to build seven segment displays out of these individual 1-segment #pcb 's which you solder together using the castellated edges. Each strip would feature 7 reverse mount sk6812 mini-e #rgb leds (for easy soldering) and the whole thing would be daisychainable. #maker friends, please tell me all the reasons this would be a horrible idea before I waste a ton of money ordering parts and PCBs :) #1segrgb
