BIG BIG rainbows on "Sparkle motion" WLED driver board 🌈💡

We got our WLED-friend PCBs

https://blog.adafruit.com/2024/12/02/leftovers-layout-wled-board-revision-a-completed/

and are testing it with various LED grids. First, we tried out a 16x16 NeoPixel grid that runs on 5V. Since that worked well, we're now onto a much bigger 60 x 60 grid - that's 3,600 LEDs! These are some NeoPixel pebble

netting samples we're also testing at the same time; each one has 20 x 60 pixels and uses 12V power, so it's a good test of the DC pass-through for higher voltages. Since WLED has a limit of 2000 pixels per output, this demo uses the three output ports that are then 'merged' together in memory to make a single large grid. We have more to test soon: the onboard IR receiver, USB PD, I2S microphone, extra I/O pins, and I2C, so watch for those videos as they come together. Coming soon -

What's N E W ??? these glowing alphanumeric filaments! 🔡💡

Last month we stocked some fun filament shapes, like snowflakes

...or unicorns

We're doing 8 days of light-filled designs to wrap up this year. We started with the Sparkle Motion Mini

, which can drive thousands of shimmering RGB LEDs. Then, we did the Sparkle Motion stick, a USB-pluggable version

On the third night, a 1.28" round TFT display

, and on the fourth a 1.8" round TFT with captouch overlay

On the fifth night, a tiny 0.85" TFT display

came to life. We took a little break on the sixth night since we were doing a lot of Sparkle Motion testing

and did a quick revision of our NeoRGB

This night, we're taking a little bit of a breather since we want to do final testing and hopefully send out the Sparkle Motion PCBs

So, we're doing a quick revision of the NeoRGB Stemma board
