Woohoo, 3D-native LED animations! 🙆
Made with unreleased version of https://blinksy.dev, a Rust LED library for embedded micros. 🟥 🟩 🟦

A glowing LED cube displays colors flowing over its faces. The cube is sitting in a stand made from grid beam. A person turns the stand around and around, showing the cube from all sides, while the colors continue to flow around seamlessly. Ambient music plays in the background.
Also have you seen this neat little #OpenSCAD program that you give it a list of screw hole locations and it automatically generates a 3D printable PCB mounting frame baseplate with standoffs? It's really slick!

Jamming everything inside was a little tight. Maybe I'll rebuild it and see if I can get things to fit better. #Arduino#ESP32 #electronics #maker
A higher angle showing how everything barely fits
Bottom of the box removed with front & back panel inserted and the circuit boards squeezed in on the top
The box is the same form factor as the temperature controller I slapped together at Christmas. The back panel is nearly the same, but the cord socket has a built-in switch & fuse. #Arduino#ESP32 #electronics #maker
Rear showing the same outlet and power cord configuration, with the only real difference being the upper yellow one has a nicer cord socket with integrated switch & fuse.
Sides of the two boxes showing they are pretty much the same size with screw locations in roughly the same location
Outlet controller in yellow on top and temperature controller with green panel on the bottom
Got my little "fan controller" built. It's just an ESP32 with a relay board controlling a couple of outlets. It subscribes to MQTT and receives commands and sends status. Buttons to toggle outlet state, LEDs above buttons to indicate state. LEDs along right are power, WiFi connected, MQTT connected.
Just before bed slapped together Python script that runs on my server to monitor bedroom temp and outdoor temp and keep room comfortable without A/C. It worked!
Of course by the time I almost got it working the temperatures were already within 5 degrees. #Pushover#Arduino#ESP32 #electronics #maker
Time to cobble together a quick & dirty Python script that can monitor the outdoor temperature and the indoor temperature and when the difference reaches 5 degrees have it send a #Pushover notification to my phone to turn off the whole house fan. #Arduino#ESP32 #electronics #maker
