Today I coded some LED strip stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically: I’ve been working on a gift for my grandmother. It’s a multicolored LED lamp\/trophy thing. It’s just supposed to be a cool gift nothing fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The housing is 3D printed in PLA, and PETG for the clear parts since my Clear PLA was giving me lots of trouble. The code was developed in the course of a few hours, same with the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are slight issues with the design. One of the major parts is that it’ll be 100% glued together since I didn’t engineer any snap fittings or anything fancy. Just glue and some prayers that it sticks together. Not my finest work but this was an afterthought project since I had already ordered something for my Grandmother but my own Mother insisted I make something for her instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The code itself runs off of a ESP32 development board. The board’s Micro USB header will be used for power and run a NEOPIXEL ARGB light strip for the lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
