I think I’m happy with this enclosure design! All goes together with friction. No screws needed! #3dprinting #3dprinted #wled #rgbled #rgb #neopixel #maker #makers #electronics

The bespoke 16x16 pixel tree topper is back at our house this year, for its 4th season.

It’s a WS2812b (#neopixel) based matrix powered by custom #micropython firmware on #ESP32.

This year it features a new 3D printed case, and a fresh #iOS app for drawing on it, locally.

Traditional tree-on-tree motif.

I've never done anything like this so I was proud it worked. It's a #RaspberryPi Zero 2 W, I soldered on the headers myself and then soldered the cables to the #NeoPixel Ring. I wrote a small script in #Python to handle changing colors and to turn off the ring. I'm going to #3DPrint a small stand to put under my 1.5gal fish tank and will place the ring within the stand. I'll be sure to update this with a video of that but here's what I have so far!

I might have _FINALLY_ made something worth showing off! This is a mockup using a neopixel matrix, the final product will have less RGB :))))

I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SHOW YOU THE FINAL PRODUCT AND CODE OMG!!!!!
