  • A too long video about my project building a scale model of a Christmas ornament from the city of Stralsund - a 12-pointed star with LED illumination.
    1:20 About neopixels
    5:30 The inspiration
    7:55 Receiving the printed circuit boards
    12:35 The components - a neopixel and a capacitor
    14:30 3D-assembly of the circuit boards
    21:25 The second hemisphere
    25:30 Laying out the data track
    31:50 PlatformIO and the FastLED library
    38:50 Uploading the code and testing
    40:25 Assembling the spikes
    46:40 A Star is Born
    47:00 Playing around with the code
    The final source code can be found here: pastebin.com/q...
    The OpenSCAD code to generate the spikes ca be found here: pastebin.com/U...
    it also contains code for a 3D-printed inner support which is not necessary for the pcb-construction described in the video.

    I ordered my circuit boards from pcbgogo, but this video was in no way sponsored - buying 75 boards I paid about 1€ per board, that is 12€ for the boards for one star, at Aliexpress you can buy 100 pcs WS2812 neopixels in the 5050-package for about 10€.

    This is interesting to me, a number of years ago I was obsessed with terrorization, and my daughter asks for neopixel to her room.

    Which is the image viewer you use?

      I mostly use Thumbsplus from www.cerious.com/ which is mainly an image database. For some purposes I also use IrfanView.
