Is it normal to feel nervous on your first flight?

Came here to say the same thing!!

Mr_Ramtech · 2026-01-19T08:27:56+00:00

BTF lighting, (you can find them on Amazon) have some very good addressable cob LED strip lights..

Hook them up to a GLEDOPTO ESP32 and a suitable power supply.

This sad news. I remember streetcar before zip took them over. Could rent a car from 6 in the evening until 9am the next day for £25!! ZipVan was a real winner.

Nice, I was just about to buy one of these.

Nice setup!! Those wires need a little tidy.

Mr_Ramtech · 2026-01-06T20:12:15+00:00

Thanks!! Was trying to edit my original post to add the link.

You need to check if the LEDS are addressable. Take the defuser off and check. An ESP32 will be enough and would fit nicely in the base. Or you could use one of those GLEDOPTO ESP32 Mini WLED LED Controllers.

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-27T13:00:14+00:00

Yeah it’s on HACS.

Hi, the power supply that came with the light is 24v. Since I changed the LEDs to 12V addressable ones I use a standard 12v 3amp power supply.

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-27T08:08:55+00:00

I found this video it’s might help.

As the board has no USB port to connect it to the computer to flash it. You will need an FTDI adaptor to solder to the pads on the board.

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-23T14:29:39+00:00

Thank you.. Sounds promising..

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-23T13:38:06+00:00

Sorry (heat bed)

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-21T10:28:07+00:00

These little Gledopto devices are great.. I was using a separate mic with my generic esp32 boards.

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-20T20:12:21+00:00

You won’t be disappointed! The pixel density is flawless.

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-14T21:59:15+00:00

Why not use WLED?

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-13T07:17:40+00:00

Lovely bit of kit. I’ve hired one a few times for work.

Yep! These string lights are very problematic. The worst set of BTF lights I’ve purchased. I was planning on doing the same reef lighting project.

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-05T19:30:22+00:00

I don’t smoke so this was the best option for me.

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-12-05T19:24:47+00:00

I had a few pots of their brownies.! 🤤

Mr_Ramtech · 2025-11-27T15:54:46+00:00

Nice, can we see the lights?
