I am gonna wire up som lighting in a cabinet, and I am using a four pin #LED strip. There will be some gap between short runs of LEDs, and so I need some wiring between them. Trying to decide on what kind of connector I should use. I want something that can be connected without soldering, and was first thinking I should make some LED-strip->JST-connector adapter boards. But maybe there are better solutions. Anyone have any tips? Search results are depressing because of AI-slop.

I just got a website running for my Astro Medallion project: https://ericofftherails.city/astro-medallion/

You can buy Astro Medallion, a planetary clock that tracks the planets with RGB LEDs on a bare circuit board mounted in a hand-finished cherry frame!

The web page explains the ins and outs of how it works and how you can use to see where in space our planetary neighbors are!

Game over.



The Machine was my 13th Amiga related cosplay. The design is my interpretation that mixes the character’s appearance in the intros of Turrican 2 & 3 with inspiration from other sources, mainly the classic Borg.



This is my biggest costume project to date: it took me 980 crafting hours over 1 year. There was no 3D printing involved, just manual armour making with EVA foam and making use of a whole lot of bits and pieces like old computer chips and cellphone parts.



The Turrican helmet prop is from my 2nd Turrican suit that I made back in 2016.



The photo was taken by void256 and edited by me.

Avete presente quelle tv nei supermercati che dietro hanno i led che illuminano la parete in base all'immagine? Ecco, ho trovato il modo per ricreare lo stesso effetto.
Il tutto funziona con un #ESP32 con sopra installato #WLED e una striscia #led #WS2812b e un semplice programma multipiattaforma chiamato Hyperion che si occupa di catturare l'immagine a schermo e trasferirla a WLED. Trovate le guide per entrambi ovunque nel web

My #oneplus3t died. Did not start, did not charge. Cleaned the usb-c port, still did not charge. (It has a notification #led which remained dark, indicating that nothing was happening.) Nevertheless, I left it charging for >24h with no effect.

TL;DR: 100% dead.

As a wild guess with a completely dead phone, I put it for approx. 10h in the refrigerator (roughly somewhere around 5°C), as some urban legends around this exist.

After getting it out, it started booting and went off after some seconds.

After connection to the pc ( #adb, you know) it booted successfully into #lineageos and I was able to do a backup followed by a factory reset.

The battery stayed at 0% while the phone was on. After the factory reset, it even seems to charge properly.

Question: what did the low temperature do?

Curious what it takes to write 3D patterns for #Pixelblaze by @wizard?
I've written up a short series of tutorials: https://www.evilgeniuslabs.org/tutorials/pixelblaze3d/part1
Among other examples, I show how to display rainbow-colored 3D Perlin noise on a three dimensional #RGB #LED cube.
