  1. btw, does anybody here on fedi have any experience with soldering bare #WS2812 / #SK6812 / #neopixels with a soldering iron?

    the packaging was pretty scary on expiration dates, saying that once the seal had been opened everything had to be used in 24 hours, or go through a baking process, because of moisture sensitivity.

    However, it also mentioned “reflow solder or other high temperature process”: does anybody know whether would it be safe to solder them with a soldering iron after some time in non-actively-dried storage?

  6. The serial LED strip stuff on ESP IDF is pretty good, a standard library. e.g. neopixel, etc.

    It used RMT (IR Remote Control) to generate the series of pulses.

    But a better way is to use SPI. And the library now does that too.

    But I wanted something the library does not do.

    Ability to have a strip that is, say, RGB, linked to another that is RGBW. Send 3 bytes for first X pixels and 4 for the rest, etc.

    So, ended up making my own SPI based serial LED driver.

    Yay, it works.

  11. Learn here how to install the wLED binary, which means flashing your ESP32 microcontroller.

    Make sure your power source is constant, which means use a uninterruptible power supply, UPS, at least while you are flashing!

    Please do not brick your ESP32

  21. Now you can learn how to do the wLED control on the Raspberry Pi5

    So first start with my previous post then come to this one. Of course you understand why this logic is used; first learn to crawl then Sprint.

  35. Hey fellow Neopixel/WS2812 fans: know of any in-production versions of smaller LED rings using 3535- or 2020-sized WS2812/SK6812 LEDs? (as opposed to the standard 5050 sizes most rings use) Seems like it’d be a great solution for putting around pots/encoders. I can’t find any on Ali
