Very cool - or warm, as the seasons would have you believe right now !
Glad you have a good outlook on the strips of LEDs. Yep, it’s a learning experience ! FYI Little Bird have the WS2812 strips, waterproof, LED RGB Strip - Addressable, Sealed (5m) (SparkFun COM-12... | Little Bird and they have 10% off today.
PM me your address, I have a xmas gift I’ll send your way - retro Netmf ! (just a bare bones CANxtra, no case or LCD)
27oC, luckily there is aircon. ;D
Wow that is cheap, also free shipping if I add in a few extras! So the WS2812 strips follow the same protocols as HL1606?
similar, but slightly different. There’s a codeshare for it though ! “Use the coupon code MERRYCHRISTMAS at checkout to save 10%”
So I’m up and running after Adafruit replaced a faulty strip, thanks everyone, especially Brett.
I’ve adjusted the code a little to work with the SPI socket on a FEZ Hydra II and since my project needs to /appear/ to update four separate segments simultaneously I’ll be adding some code so it’s an underlying function (it’s going to get a little bit messy otherwise).
