It's 2:42 PM Eastern and I'm glad you're alive.
Thanks for being here with me.
You are more amazing than you realize.

Just a bump, last day for this! Thanks to everyone who has ordered, so many FUnicorns going to happy new homes, it makes me so happy. 😄🖕🦄

@szakib My pleasure; I've endured some rough times myself and I want to help others as I was helped.
Almost a new year; a time for reflection on the past & planning for the future.
Please be kind to yourself about both; these are difficult times and progress may not be what you'd hoped for.
Be glad you survived this far.
Know that we're all in this together and you're not alone.

Found a 2.7mm thin Neopixel strip with a silicone coating and decided to cram as many rows as would fit ( turned out to be 5) onto a headband. Added a #Pixelblaze Pico controller and an off the shelf holder for an AA-sized Li-Ion battery. I intend to be "light headed" for the holidays!
@joeycastillo I keep getting tempted by one of those.

It's been awhile since I last reminded you that I love you.
I love you.
Thanks for being here. I know it's not always easy. I appreciate the effort.

Any C/C++ wizards looking for a project? I'd be willing to pay for WS2816 support to be added to #FastLED.
#PixelBlaze supports them but I do still use FastLED with the QT Py SAMD21.
I can provide PCBs with the LEDs already assembled.
They're 48-bit color (16 per channel), but FastLED support for them would need to be 24-bit (8 per channel).
WS2816 Datasheet: https://www.lcsc.com/datasheet/lcsc_datasheet_2412021803_Worldsemi-WS2816C-2121_C965561.pdf
Here's a whole thread where I compare them to WS2812 and SK9822: https://leds.social/@jasoncoon/111575637982422573
Good morning my beautiful friend!
It's time to tackle another day together; aren't you glad we're not alone? We've got each other.
Find someone who needs a boost today and help them out; let's lift each other as we climb.
