Oh, the schematic is not really existing, I just connected the rings in series and the first ring to a microcontroller to drive the LEDs. Just regular Neopixel/WS2812B rings.

Yes, just follow the link to the instructable and change the code parameters for your display size.

No, it won't miss the print head. I am printing 95% small parts, so for me it's fine. But there is also a mounting option on top of the frame without interfering with the head. Display will be available on tindie soon.

Yes, as mentioned on Twitter, there is no real space for such a thing between the head and the frame. So either no tall prints or using the mounting option on top of the frame. Will publish both files soon.

After the next iteration, it most likely will be open source, maybe I will sell some kits for people without soldering experience, but not decided yet.

Thank you, please follow the project at hackaday.io, I will add more details for the built in the next months.

@@makeTVee awesome! waiting for the continuation! I really want to make something like this

@@WhiteProgrammisto yes, I am already working on it

P.s. what's the diameter of those?

Thanks, diameter is 23 mm

@@makeTVee nice my ears are 25mm. And that could be a cool standard. A 2mm diffuser on the outside would make them fit ha You're a legend again good job

Yes, hope so. Have to change some minor things in the next iteration to optimize the assembly process.

Yes, in the meantime I already did this with an ESP32 board and WLED. You can change colors/effect via a web interface or app. You can even sync multiple trees.

@@makeTVee Do you have a video or instruction on how to do that?

@@TheOoze777 no, not yet. But it isn't too hard, so if you contact me via Hackaday, printables or Twitter, I will send you some links.

Thanks! Yes, I am thinking about a version for sale, but needs some time to do some design changes to reach a reasonable price point.

@@makeTVee I love the LED lighting and the size. It would be perfect for my DJ area. If you decide to sell any I would be very interested! Thank you for your time! 😏

Yes, already did this using wled library. Works great.

@@makeTVee so Can I “convert” the python code to work on a ESP32 controller and make your project work with This controller.?

@@michaelandersen1161 maybe yes, but I would suggest to install the wled lib on the ESP32 and then use the wled app to control it. It gives you so much more options. Here the link github.com/Aircoookie/WLED

It is a first demo video. Walking and dancing also triggers the effects, but there is much more possible for this use cases, which needs some more development time... If you are interested in the design decisions like the front only design, please check out the instructables page.

Thank you!

Thanks for your feedback, I will definitely test this out.

Thanks, I was using the laser cutting service from formulor.de, but you can also check ponoko.com, sculpteo.com or your local fablab for this. The veneer is paper thin (100um), it is called Microwood, you will find all the details here: www.instructables.com/LED-Matrix-Cylinder/

@@makeTVee Thanks...... Just another question, do I need the capasitors you show in the schematics if I use a raspberry pi ? and what is the capasitor C1 is doing?

@@michaelandersen1161 For C2, check out this guide: learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/powering-neopixels, C1 ist just a blocking capacitor for the level shifting IC

Hi! No, the big one was not realized yet, but I have some ideas and plans about it which I am happy to share. Please contact me via hackaday or Twitter if you are interested.

You can easily remove the LEDs and electronics for washing. The battery pack is in a pocket at the back. You can find more information and pictures at hackaday.io/project/177255-neopixel-led-skirt

Yes, that's great idea. Already tested it some time ago with an ESP32, it is a lot of fun. But I have to wait until the clubs reopen again (covid), so I we can test it on the dance floor.

you are right, comfortable sitting on blinking LEDs is not solved yet

@@makeTVee not sitting at all seems a small sacrifice. Much smaller than high heels

Depends on the threshold in the software, either it is triggered by fast movements or you need to jump to trigger it. But it is still work in progress. Costs are around 40$ for LEDs and electronics.

@@makeTVee Oh that's pretty reasonable. Thanks a lot.

Please check hackaday.io/project/177255-neopixel-led-skirt

Unfortunately, I didn't record one this time. But took some pictures, so I will share this soon.

@@makeTVee A video montage of the finished circuitry, where the microcontroller and battery pack fit, the inside of the skirt while removing and/or replacing the LEDs would be great. Just something that shows how everything fits together. The circuit itself is pretty well known anyway.

Thanks! I will publish details about the project soon. I will let you know as soon as this is done.

@@makeTVee Awsome!!

@@Yulivee01 hackaday.io/project/177255-neopixel-led-skirt

@@makeTVee joined 😁

Maybe, do you have any experience in either sewing or soldering/coding?

@@makeTVee nope, I don't, but a friend of me does. I think the girl I'm talking about who's going to use it, would be an excellent candidate to campaign your product if you're deciding to produce/go commercial with this? You've a great product here!

Thank you!

Hi, it is a lib, which you can install in Arduino studio: www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/ringbuffer/

Coming soon the links

Hi, it is a lib, which you can install in Arduino studio: www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/ringbuffer/

@@makeTVee Thank you so much

Thanks! Yes, ESP8266 is also possible.

@@makeTVee do you have code esp8266

@@gur316 No, but just search for FastLED+ESp8266 and you should find everything needed.

@@makeTVee thanks

@@makeTVee hi do you have 3d raw file for vase. I want make it little bigger vase thanks

Unfortunately not, Android 7 or 8 changed the security policy and the app was not working anymore. In the meantime, I had switched to the Bluetooth gamepad and there was no need for the app. If you are interested, I can provide you the old source code from the app.

​@@makeTVee yes, this would be nice. I have an old phone so i think the app should work. I write you a message at instructabels.
