BIG BIG rainbows on "Sparkle motion" WLED driver board 🌈💡

We got our WLED-friend PCBs

https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/12/02/leftovers-layout-wled-board-revision-a-completed/

and are testing it with various LED grids. First, we tried out a 16x16 NeoPixel grid that runs on 5V. Since that worked well, we're now onto a much bigger 60 x 60 grid - that's 3,600 LEDs! These are some NeoPixel pebble

netting samples we're also testing at the same time; each one has 20 x 60 pixels and uses 12V power, so it's a good test of the DC pass-through for higher voltages. Since WLED has a limit of 2000 pixels per output, this demo uses the three output ports that are then 'merged' together in memory to make a single large grid. We have more to test soon: the onboard IR receiver, USB PD, I2S microphone, extra I/O pins, and I2C, so watch for those videos as they come together. Coming soon -

I have a neopixels for Our Future Fantasy! It looks a teeny bit better to read on mobile, but i'm still working on it to make it look better in general! https://ourfuturefantasy.neocities.org

Festival of Lights… A 'USB Stick' Sparkle Motion WLED driver ✨💡🔌🌟

To wrap up this year, we're doing 8 days (maybe!) of light-filled designs. We started with the Sparkle Motion Mini

which can drive thousands of shimmering RGB LEDs. Next, we were going through some of our NeoPixel samples today and found some "LED Christmas light kit" with star LEDs, its basically these stars

with a little USB plug that has IR, a crummy mic, a tactile switch to cycle modes manually, and a tiny microcontroller that turns the LED selections to different patterns - kinda like this:

The idea is cute - but the implementation could be improved with a lil sparkle motion

! we made a PCB that would fit into the same plastic enclosure but with an ESP32 instead. it's got an IR receiver, ICS-43434 I2S digital microphone

https://www.digikey.com/short/mmv3tthz

gpio 0 button in the 'right' place, 5V 2A fuse, USB-serial converter for uploading/debugging, and two level-shifted outputs. We can probably get the case in quantity or have this be a 'DIY replacement' that folks can use to make their existing setups WLED/xLights friendly.

Buy Your Favorite Resurgent Class Star Destroyer Collectible

As always, Star Wars fans have even more great new merchandise to look forward to as several products have recently hit the market. It’s a great gift for the children and also for the collectors – there is always something fresh in the Star Wars universe to take home.

A particularly hot new product is the Mould King resurgent-class star destroyer – it is a LEGO-compatible building set. This set consists of 1,530 pieces, providing fans with an opportunity to create an impressive model of the First Order’s Resurgent-class Star Destroyer from the new Star Wars sequels. This set is also astonishing in terms of the level of detail: the outer paneling of the surface, the inner layout of the command bridge, turbolasers, landing bays, and TIE fighter storage racks. The star destroyers are gray and black and builders will be proud to present their completed models of them.

There are several varieties of toy lightsabers that are available in the market, but if the aficionado really wants to get a taste of true epic lightsaber duels then SaberMach Sabers are a step above the rest. These LED sabers also have high quality soundboards and effects for the most realistic power-up, idle hum, clash, and power-down sounds available. Sabers in the SaberMach line include the one with designs that imitate the characters in the movies such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Custom blade colors, metal hilts, and top-notch sound can be found in SaberMach which makes it the best for dueling and cosplay.

From the Mould King Resurgent Star Destroyer for toy collectors and model builders to the SaberMach Lightsabers for fight and costume enthusiasts, it’s been an exciting year for Star Wars fans. Star wars is therefore promising as evidenced by these innovative new products that are still set to captivate the audience. Whether you need an official showpiece like the First Order Star Destroyer or a functional weapon like the best lightsabers for dueling seen in the movie, the new Star Wars line has what many fans want, realism. The force awakens indeed in these great new toys and collectibles.
