Stream notes July 27, 2019

Segments

  • Intro, review last Silicon Saturday progress and next steps
  • Stream improvements and this week's upcoming news
  • DO THE THING
  • Retrospective
  • Raid

Goals

  • Test possibility of siphoning power from Rhonda
  • How do we program one strip, multiple segments
  • Can using multiple controllers be better?

What did we learn

  • 3.3v at even 100 bright white causes a redshift
  • You have to initialize the entire strip, even if you want to program a portion of the leds
  • Particle workbench needs told what .ino files to build in the project

Next steps

  • Program different effects for the other 2 sets of leds on the array
  • Research better cylon effect
  • Test underglow effects
  • Find a camera spot and layout to show rhonda (rhonda cam) on a dark background that allows some movement (floor preferrably)
