Followed through on the Tuesday livestreams, which will now alternate with my #HacksterCafe interviews :) Here's the first one: https://www.youtube.com/live/JluJCiS0DgE

Includes a few demos – Archimedes #CompanionBot upgrades for #MakerFaire (and to use him as my co-host for #HacksterIO Impact Spotlights), #RaspberryPi 500+ (incl live disemboweling), Mind-Altering Gadgets, and more!

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

This is een important word of warning from the wLED Creator

New setups should use the ESP32 not the dated ESP8266 because that reaches end of life

Heed his Warning

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.

My SBC of choice is the Raspberry Pi5 I want to control WLED with it!

So i dug further and found this site

Today I learned about an incredible project for the ESP32 project WLED!

It's an implementation of a ESP32/ESP8266 webserver to control NeoPixel LEDs

Read all about it on the website.

Die #Lichtverschmutzung nimmt weltweit jährlich um 10% zu - eine Verdoppelung alle acht Jahre. Schuld sind auch #LEDs, deren grelles blau-weißes Licht den Nachthimmel stärker überstrahlt. https://winfuture.de/news,153689.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
