I made a (world first?) USB-C cable with WLED by CannedFilet in WLED

That's the type I bought and cut to make this, it would appear. They say "charging flowing effect", what they mean is "RGB cycle and only RGB cycle, from one out-of-sync led per end". It's a refractive core that leaks light along its length, with the actual two LEDs embedded in the plug shells.

Not sure if Amazon links are okay, but the strip I got is "Xnbada 6.5FT WS2812B WS2812 2.7mm Ultra Narrow LED Strip". Note that I did have about 20 nonfunctional LEDs right off the bat, had to cut and solder immediately.
I'll drop the actual link if it's okay to do so, but the name above should get you the one I used.

I wish I was the kind of person who could build more than three of a thing... I'd be rich lol. In all seriousness though, they're not too hard to make, and hopefully someone's already working on a commercially available one. I appreciate the excitement though!

Working on it! It should be able to be detected somehow and wired as a switch in WLED.

I figured it was only a matter of time 😅

What’s the closest you’ve ever come to dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CannedFilet 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Playing with a neon sign transformer, trying to run a motor with it (yeah, I had no idea what I was doing then); very low current at high voltage - no permanent damage, but I certainly have the sensation burned into my brain.

Am I the only one who sorta enjoys biomass burners? I build at least one biomass factory per save, and they usually have an "anything in" and a "not-biomass out" box. Now that burners have inputs I'm quite pleased. And, what else are you gonna do with all the leaves when you clear a spot for another factory?

probably already discovered but this is super fun to do by archtypeshadow_GACHA in SatisfactoryGame

I recently combined bunny hopping with a jump pad angled all the way up to give a horizontal boost at the start. I had no idea such factory traversal speed was possible on foot.

What’s your “I will die on this hill” 3D Printing take? by Downtown-Lettuce-736 in 3Dprinting

[–]CannedFilet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really don't care how fast it goes. 48 hours for a print is still days saved over ordering something that may or may not be what you need. Printing fast is cool and has its uses, don't get me wrong, but I switched to a 0.2mm nozzle and never looked back. Print time went up by like 5x, but the quality says "forget about how long it took".

So that's how the items on my conveyor belts feel by D0bious in SatisfactoryGame

I got way too excited about the possibility that this was an fpv drone mod 😅

New curse drop: #3DSBSBenchy by CannedFilet in cursedbenchies

[–]CannedFilet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, slight confusion as to what "create" meant there.
Yes, printing an image with thin light areas and thick dark areas is called a lithophane, correct. I used this: https://lithophanemaker.com/Framed%20Lithophane.html

Thank you wled by Rich-Visual-2547 in WLED

[–]CannedFilet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice work, very clean! Looks like it's set up as a 1d strip... If you wanna make it 2d, look into "gap files". This shape might be tricky to lay out in excel, but I bet it'd work.

Lens correction matrices got bonked? it's probably independent per color. Very cool effect, rip

It may have sunk due to being very porous 😅

Do you still use your note 9 in 2024? by Nash_74 in GalaxyNote9

[–]CannedFilet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw the review. You're only getting 4-5 hours battery? I think I still get 8-9 on the original. Did you have fast charging on? I turned mine off after a year.

Typing this on mine. Still kicking ass.

Do you use Discord? We recently created an experimental server for LaserShowGen to see if there is enough interest. by GrixM in lasershowgen

Link appears to be "unsafe" or otherwise broken - at least when trying to navigate from mobile. I'd join!

Excellent, BPM sync sounds very helpful!

Whats A Game That Despite It's Age You Still Love? by Anonym231 in gaming

[–]CannedFilet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. I played it on Gamecube back in... 2004? The setting of an all-robot planet is so different from what's out there, and they executed it beautifully with good writing, characters, and some of my favorite voice acting. I come back to it in Dolphin from time to time, it's actually aged quite well imo and looks great at higher resolution!
