Made a pair of these (2 kids, so each needs their own).
Lexan has been replaced with steel, and both have identical coding uploaded.
One, however, I’ve had to reload the code twice in the past 8 hours… not sure what the problem is, though I did find that the 9v battery was only putting out 5.83v, so the battery might not have been able to put out enough current to power the LEDs.
I think I’m gonna add in an adapter port so they can be placed on a surface for extended usage, as 9v batteries can get expensive.
Since they took awhile to make, I want them to be as perfect as possible (even though they’re prototypes).
They’re running off a 9v battery to the Vin on a nano, and the 5v ws2812b supply comes off the nano.
Anybody ever had problems with code being erased off a board?
- FastLED 3.1
- Arduino Nano
- Win 8.1
- It’s not the code’s fault ;o)
