Hi Becky I stuck 36 ping pong balls onto a strip of ws2812 and put them in a large jar using clear silicone to stop them moving with all the strip and controller in the centre so nothing shows It had a tap outlet near the bottom I took that off to alow my power supply 5V cable to enter through the hole.. I made 2 one for my daughter and one for my carer and both love them. I used ir controllers off ebay but now after using BLYNK I wish i had used the ESP2866-12E so it they could be switched from anywhere. Thanks for the great idea of ping pong balls. I intend making myself one using cotton wool as i made an imitation fire with ws2812 and cotton wool and it looked vert effective. I am now following you and hope to try plenty of your ideas to pass my time and spend hours learning from you o…

That way each led can be a different colour if you want and if you buy a ws2812 led controller they are around £3 and a 5v plug in adaptor for £1.99 all from ebay china dont worry about it coming from china as any of these bought cheap in the uk will be from china you will pay 3 or 4 times more for same item from the UK also I have never had to pay duty on electronic items from china you normally get stung from USA for duty. If you use the ws2812 led strip just make sure you order everything 5V as 12V is available also but I like to stick to 5V as I sometimes program arduino's to run them and any boards like arduino raspbery pi and so on are all 5V. There is never any problem with heat. If you see Neopixel they can be us…

Hi is the full code available for this or is it here but I don't understand it? I'm disabled from a head injury and find things hard to understand these days but want to build this. I have played with BLYNK but can not write code myself but hope to pick it up as I go along. ThanksBill

Hi as you obviously know about serial communication I wonder if you could please answer a question for me. I have a radio scanner that I control with a windows program with a D9 serial cable. The radio antenna is on the other side of my bedroom and I am disabled and have to spend a lot of time in bed so I want to know if it is possible to use HC-05 or HC-06 bluetooth modules to transmit and receive the serial from my laptop to my scanner? If not do you know of a simple way of doing this?. I can then use my wireless headphones with the scanner with my laptop on my over bed table.Thanking youBill

Hi i have built mine but not sure what bit to order i want to carve wood and cut 4mm plywood but can not find any writeup on router bits for use with a dremel or equivalent to a dremel mine is from maplin. Can some kind person please advise me on what bit to order from ebay by giving the ebay order number. It would be nice to know if there are different bits for different materials what bits should be used so i can buy a selection of bits.Thanks

Do you hold down the button to keep it running or can I use end stop switches instead of the buttons so it keeps hitting the end stops and reversing the opposite way on a linear rail?Thank youBill
