Last weekend and week I spent 20+ hours on a coding assessment for an interview. They said they liked me as a candidate, liked my work, but whereas I was always going to be a remote candidate, that just wasn't going to work for them right now. Sigh.
This weekend I'll hopefully get a chance to work on my Deck lights LED strip project.

- tmaly 10y agoI have been wanting to make a LED strip design for Christmas ever since I saw the Johnson Family Christmas 2015 video. What does the hardware look like on your setup?
- kejaed 10y agoThe hardware setup is based on what I had on-hand: - Raspberry Pi with WiFi dongle - Arduino Uno connected to rpi via USB - NeoPixel (ws2812b) LED strip connected to arduino https://www.aliexpress.com/item/individually-addressable-1m-2m-4m-5m-waterproof-ip65-ip67-5050-rgb-30-60-74-96-144/32243894576.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/individually-addressable-1m-... - Adafruit Power Supply https://www.adafruit.com/products/658 https://www.adafruit.com/products/658 All that is in a Tupperware box below the deck with an extension cord for power running to it. I'm running PlatformIO on the rpi to program the arduino from the command line (love it), and still moving between FastLED and the NeoPixel libraries to drive the LED strips. I've installed Homebridge on the rpi to eventually be able to control the setup with Siri from an iDevice. I'll eventually properly document the project, but for now, here are my brain-dump notes: https://github.com/kejaed/deckLights/blob/master/projectNotes.md https://github.com/kejaed/deckLights/blob/master/projectNote...
