WORKSHOP - WLED Pixel Controller - $35.00 (Wrap Up)

General lounge
10

Yup…

11

Perhaps with an extras $5 per kit for VHS if that seems OK…

12

Would this kit work to light a small strip of LEDs (maybe about 6 inches long) using 3 AAA batteries? Might be perfect for a project I had in mind.

13

If the LEDs are addressable it may work but may be overkill…
The 4.5V supply of the batteries may not be enough for the ESP-01 8266 module
The ESP-01 module draws a few hundred mA so may drain the AAA batteries pretty quickly

You may be better just using a Arduino Nano to drive the LEDs

14

A little USB power bank is a good power source though.

AAAs are a little low current for a lot of lighting applications

15

I think I need to keep the AAAs, just created a separate post here with details about the project looking for suggestions :slight_smile:

If anyone wants to attend Bob’s awesome workshop but would like to learn to solder beforehand or just want a refresher pease pm me and I will get you going with the VHS blinky badge and the how-to-solder comic. The kit is 5bux donation to VHS and takes an hour or less to solder.

@packetbob have you picked a date yet?

22

Hi All,
Thanks for your interest in the WLED workshop…
To allow for the number of people I’ll arrange it over several evenings/mornings…
Potentially:
Sat Jan 14 9:00AM to Noon
Sun Jan 15 9:00AM to Noon
Wed Jan 18 7:00PM to 10:00 PM
Sat Jan 21 9:00AM to Noon
Sun Jan 22 9:00AM to Noon
Wed Jan 25 7:00PM to 10:00 PM

I have allowed 3 hours but expect that it will only take 2 (30 intro and review, 60 minute build, 30 minute troubleshooting)…

I’ll limit it to 6 people per workshop for now and can easily accommodate other dates if the above don’t work…

To book a spot just reply with the date you would like and how many spots…
I’ll DM you with my email so you can eTransfer me the money…

Thanks,

Note I may have to move the proposed dates a week or two forward due to some family issues that have popped up (moving father in-law into a care home)…

Thanks…
