LoadingCool garland like Alex Gaiver (WS2812)
This cool garland is assembled according to the design of Alex Hyvera using Arduino and an address LED strip. The garland has many interesting effects, a running text, several games and the ability to control all this from a mobile phone. The garland is really very cool, it just causes a storm of emotions in the audience.
I soldered the garland myself, cut the WS2812 addressable LED strip into modules, soldered with the help of pieces of audio cable with a cross section of 0.25 mm. I got a total of 120 diodes. The power supply used 5 volts 5 amps. The garland is fastened to the window with an adhesive tape and it does not interfere with opening the window for ventilation. The Arduino board is connected below, there is also a common power bus on the bottom of the wire with a cross section of 2 * 0.75 mm. The maximum current consumption of about one ampere, judging by the multimeter, but the usual charge of 2 amps from a mobile phone I could not cope with this load.
The project is quite simple and it should be repeated. I spent a couple of evenings to solder everything, the setup took only a few minutes, and the effect is simply amazing! Congratulations to all the upcoming New Year! Creative success!

I thought for a long time to print the case on a 3D printer or to do it manually. It’s easier to print, but I decided to do the first boat with my own hands. I used cardboard as the main material. -
Today, instead of round guides, the printer received square, using a conventional aluminum profile tube with a cross section of 20 * 20 mm. Bearings roll along the pipe 623zz. All plastic parts were printed on the same printer before it was altered. -
Soon February 14, Valentine's Day, the Christmas garland on the address LEDs still hangs on the window. I decided to diversify it a bit. I wrote a simple script and added a colorful heart to the firmware. -
It’s 2024, stores are already selling robotic vacuum cleaners, and you can even buy used ones for a reasonable price. And I still dream of assembling my own robot vacuum cleaner with my own hands. -
Almost all toys bought for the daughter do not cause the child's interest, which can not be said about developing toys made by themselves. Below is a photo of the simplest developing mat, which the wife made for a couple of evenings from old buttons.
