1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Hi there! Thanks for tuning in (or reading this text and then deciding not to tune in at all). Another episode with a mixed bag of semi-interesting topics.&amp;nbsp; Thanks for the feedback - the inter-segment jingle will be a bit less loud from now on. Poor ears. We start off by counting pass &amp;amp; fail on this year's new year's resolutions, followed by mentioning a small inline PCB for driving LED-strips and so on. The PCB was used for 2 light effects so far - links to videos of both are given below. Ran into a &quot;gotcha&quot; when dealing with LED-effects: intelligent LEDs stuck in &quot;full brightness&quot; mode, causing the supply to shit itself and the system to become unresponsive. (Quickfix: small delay between boot and start-of-effect at power-on.) For the LED-effects, I measured rand() execution times (avr-gcc, avr-libc, ATmega168 @ 8 MHz) and was pleasantly surprised by its speed and predictability. Will use again. Finally, some fuzzy guesstimates / measurements about what kind of voltage drop to expect when running current through long cables. Relevant links: &amp;nbsp;video of wallclock with WS2812 strip at home ...and one of a&amp;nbsp;coffee table at Hackalot (Eindhoven, NL) Maker Faire Eindhoven&amp;nbsp;on 28 &amp;amp; 29 September. Applications run (for now) until 31 July.
