Shipping took a week end a half which diminished the time I have to get it working as i think most of us experienced. Once I got the electronics it was quite promising. Once The LED board was connected to the Pixelblaze controller, which shipped with a 3 wire cable instead of 4, was connected properly I started to test how fast it could update. Running 1 trig function for each LED update it was able to update the entire board at 2000+ FPS to my surprise. Something untested that might be an issue, as Brian brought up in class, is how long will the little CR2032 button mattery I&#8217;m using power the system? Running the controller at 20Mhz with 64 LEDs might draw a significant current. This will probably be in next weeks post, hopefully not though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2226\" style=\"width:328px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-960x1280.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/2_FPS-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For spinning the Electronics and LEDs I planned to use a tiny cheap brushless motor I bought in combination with a single ESC, Lipo battery, BEC, and Esp32 to control the speed. When I went to solder I changed the plan a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/3_Mini-Motor.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To test the motor I decided to use the electronics out of my combat robot which I know are functional. I realized that this motor probably would appreciate the overvoltage I would be giving it in combination with the load. It also didn&#8217;t come with mounting screws&#8230; New plan: The electronics for spinning will be temporarily borrowed from my 3lb combat robot. Is it overkill? Yes, 100%. Will it work? Also yes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/lightart-a24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/09\/4_All_Spinning.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Using these electronics has the side affect of having a controller to vary RPM which is both good and bad. I will probably run it at the lowest speed this motor can run at a consistent speed at (5% throttle&#8230;) and hope nothing bumps the controller. Faster spinning, at least i its current form, may cause spontaneous disassembly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest challenge i have yet to mention or fully encounter is how i will store the data to be displayed. I will probably set certain angle intervals at which it should render at and store the data in either a 3D array or a list (hashmap if it runs to slowly). Animations may be difficult do to storage limitations so snake might be the only animated part. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the idea is still promising there were quite a few road bumps this week.
