    Control addressable LED with Arduino

    A nice "gateway drug" is an addressable (programmable) LED strip. Hook it up to a Raspberry Pi or Arduino and have at it! I bought cheap motion sensors and will be installing a strip along the inside of a staircase to light up when I approach it.

    https://github.com/whyboris/Arduino-LED (see "stairs.ino")

    Another project of mine is having the LEDs light up as I play piano:

    https://github.com/whyboris/Digital-Piano-LED

    Unsure where I'll go after I finish these projects, but LEDs are so much fun!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • WLED

    Control WS2812B and many more types of digital RGB LEDs with an ESP8266 or ESP32 over WiFi!

    WLED is also fantastic if you are using WS/APA/STK style addressable LEDs. You just need a dirt cheap ESP32/8266 and you get a wifi connected lamp with a lovely web ui, cool animations, android app, timers, home automation integrations etc etc.

  • esp32-cnc

    For anyone who stumbles across this later, here's a KiBot project file that will automatically export the JLCPCB-compatible BOM/CPL file:

    https://gitlab.com/stavros/esp32-cnc/-/blob/master/project.k...

    It does this from a field on each part in the schematic called "JLC" containing the part number. The only thing I'm unsure of is whether the "footprint" column needs to be edited manually later, though.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
