Projects with Red

If you were looking for the .stl files. The .3mf files are used in the same way, those are the files you need 👍🏼.

What is the reason to why you can't use it on a Mac?

You should be able to use most pins and just make the simple changes in the app to reflect the correct pin numbers. For the LED strip data pin, you change that in the WLED app under LED preferences, and for the DHT11 sensor pin you change that in the "WLED/usermods/NanoLeaf_Display/usermod_nanoleaf_display.h" file, there is a variable defined called "DHTPIN".

Thank you very much!

Thank you! Yes you can do that, that's a great idea!

And thank you for this amazing comment!

Yes you should be able to. There won't actually be too many changes you need to make, the ones I can think of right now is the enviroment in the "platformio.ini" file, where you need to change the "default_envs" variable from the ESP32 environment to the ESP8266 environment. Then I think its just the data pin you connect the LEDs to your ESP8266, which needs to be changed in the WLED app. Those are the two major changes I can think of right now, without actually re-making it using an ESP8266. There will be some more small changes you need to make for sure but they should be self explanatory. I hope this helps!

Thank you! I really appreciate that. I am glad you found it helpful :)

I love the idea of using pogo-pin/magnetic connectors! I didn't even know they existed. My initially idea was to actually somehow create a magnetic connection, but I couldn't come up with a practical and efficient solution.The major problem I encountered with coming up with a magnetic connection is that how will the wire paths be managed, since in the case of this project segment shape, if for example you want to create a leaf segment in your shape, there is no way you can connect the magnet in the other end of the leaf segment to the other part of the shape to continue the "circuit", hence I just went for simple wires at the end haha.If you do come up with an elegant solution using magnetic connectors, if you can let me know, I would love to know how you did it!Yep a level shi…

Thank you!

Thank you very much for that! I appreciate it!

For the authentication code, you can go to the blynk app, open the project, and go to the project settings, then there you will have an option to re-send the authentication code to your email, after that, check your email (including junk/spam folder) to see the email received by Blynk, which will have the authentication code.For the gadgets, simply swipe from the right and all the gadgets will show up, then just drag and drop them to insert.

Hello, the Blynk legacy app should still work perfectly fine with this project 👍.

Good to hear!

Hello :), I don't know exactly what you mean by the testing breadboard PCB, but if you mean the brown board in step 7, that's called a stripboard.

What do you mean by that exactly.

Yes you can for sure do it that way. However, I wouldn't say an Attiny micro-controller is "expensive" :). The Attiny88, which is what is finally used in this project is £1.65 per micro-controller, it has 28 pins, and everything will be in one place. However, if you don't have access to these cheap micro-controllers, then yea for sure, you should use I/O Expanders.

That's a good point. However, for this particular voltage regulator, in the datasheet of the MCP1700, it shows that it works with input voltage from 2.3V-6V, with a fixed output voltage of 3.3V, and I haven't had any problems at all for using it over 2 months on the same coin battery, so I don't think it's an issue. The battery life is surprisingly very very good in this.

Hello, which links are you referring to exactly?

Yes they are very nice to press :) I ended using linear MX Cherry switches which are smooth all the way through the press.

Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much! It is greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much! That is a good question, to my knowledge you can't use the Blynk app itself to do that since you need the WiFi connection in the first place to communicate with the phone. However, this can be done using an external way, for example using a screen with some sort of input to enter the SSID and password, then using that data to connect to WiFi and then to Blynk. That is a common thing to do.

Thank you! I just added it, let me know if you can see it. Thanks for the tip!

Yes that could work great! Thank you!

Yes it is! Yes I used Fusion 360, all the 3D model files including code can be found in the video description 👍🏼
