Working on the WAvrVM firmware, today I finally got around to implement an op code parser for the serial protocol between the #raspberrypi3 and the #arduinonano via a HC-05 bluetooth module. The program already takes more than 50% of the available flash and SRAM.But I think everything will fit nicely.

After removing the adhesive side of the LED strips the other day, I put some solder on the pads. All in all I repeated this step for 270 pads.

I took the time to document the operations I implemented for my control software WAvrVM. That is a little VM that runs in an #arduino with an instruction set to calculate and set the pixel colors in an #neopixel #ws2812 RGB LED strip. Joined with the bluetooth module HC-05 a #raspberrypi3 or #raspberrypi3 can then upload new animations or just change the colors.

For the big LED panel project I finally found the time to cut the strip into 45 parts. Each 5 LEDs long. Also removed the adhesive pads of them, because it does not stick to 3D printed parts well. Going to use hot glue for this.

Soldered the LED panel circuit now. And it works like a charm! Next up on my list is working on the 30-40 LED panel version and finishing the "firmware".
