A level shifter just for pixels 🔌✨💡

After noodling with some WS2811s and TM1814, we really wish we had a board that would level-shift our NeoPixel signals from 3V to 5V or give us an inverted data line. So, we designed this board. It uses an AP3602

charge pump to give a clean 5V reference voltage from 3~5V. A 74HCT2G34

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/nexperia-usa-inc/74HCT2G34GW-125/1300830

shifts two signals - we call them DAT and CLK, but it could be anything really - to 5V from 1.8~5V. Finally there's an 74LVC1G04

inverted data output line for TM1814 and other weird chips. Terminal blocks on either side make this a no-solder board. There's also a single disableable 1.5mm NeoPixel on the DAT line for testing the WS281x signal coming through OK. Coming soon.

Look ma! No hands.

Look ma! No hands. OSC over wifi. #blinkdom

One of the the problems with making software is that it doesn’t film well. There’s nothing to touch and a lot of reading, in different languages, and in symbols.

For the last few days we’ve been trying to get everything to talk to each other. The goal is to allow anyone near the pixel wall to be able to control it, say to turn it off or change the visuals. Using the pieces already in…

Locks and Remote Control

Preparing for the Move

The panels staying together just standing still is a given. What happens when we try to move them? In a truck. Downtown. Up elevators. The bottles are loosely held in the frame by the LED strands that are secured by the caps so from the front you can’t remove a bottle. If you pull real hard, you can probably break the wires and black out 50 LEDs at a time.

  Besides acting…

Time to Shrink It Down Part 2

Time to Shrink It Down Part 2

We’ve already tried to run the pixel wall completely from a Raspberry Pi. It works but the animations slow down or stutter.

2 x 2 x 2 is NOT 8

The next device to attempt is a CuBox-iPro4. It shipped with Android but we quickly re-kicked it with Ubuntu. Using a helpful hint from Jas at HeroicRoboticsthe maker of PixelPusher, we installed the Oracle JVM 1.8. This version has performance…
