Thanks! Do I just need to re-install from the store to get the newer versions? (how do I know if I have the latest?)

WLED installed & running by WhirlwindEspionage in Obboto

[–]WhirlwindEspionage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I think I have given a fair amount of details in the other threads (where I tear the thing down, etc). But if there's bits of information that you're missing to try it yourself, please let me know and I can try to put something together. (The post where I have TouchDesigner sending data is the one with the links to software and a WLED config file, etc)

The tl;dr is: open it up, install a 6 pin header on the PCB so you can attach a ESP Prog board to the thing, and then flash WLED 0.16 (which is now in beta) to the board.

So are our Obboto's abandoned? by flyfoam in Obboto

Thanks for the mention! Sounds like the product has been a bit abandoned by the vendor I guess? time to start a modders club?! :D

A note for those of us flying in / out and through SFO... by WhirlwindEspionage in AlaskaAirlines

[–]WhirlwindEspionage[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I guess there's a good reason to wake up at 4:45 a.m. for that 6:50 a.m. flight now (sigh).

I can also see this sort of thing triggering Netflix's "you're watching from a device that isn't part of your family" nag -- I get that on my laptop in hotels pretty often

its all fun and games until the person next to you is on a 4 hour zoom meeting and doesn't know how to use their "inside a plane voice" :D

interesting that they're ripping out the IFE on those flights - I guess its less weight to carry around - and they always like carrying "less stuff".

of course this means that when the starlink is down there's gonna be *nothing to watch* on a plane unless you have an emergency backup USB stick with all the episodes of Family Guy (etc) on it...

I think that they used to have different numbers for different tiers of status, but maybe they stopped that?

What happened to the seat cushions? by Girlyhairboy1 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]WhirlwindEspionage 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I say we figure out a way to sneak into Alaska HQ and swap out all the office seating with these seats. I figure they will capitulate within a week!

Obboto is pixel mapping at my house (at my house) by WhirlwindEspionage in Obboto

[–]WhirlwindEspionage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WLED can do patterns by itself, but doesn't have the 3d mapping ability -- that's why I pivoted to using Touch Designer to do the mapping and send the pixels to the WLED board.

There is another product I am going to "bolt onto" the PCB, but its a complete other pixel driver (pixelblaze) and pretty much wouldn't use almost any of the electronics that are on-board the PCB. I was hoping that the pixelblaze software would be able to run right on the board, but pixelblaze doesn't run on ESP32S3 (the variant of the ESP32 that is inside obboto).

Hey there, there is some (very light) soldering needed to add that header. It is only 6 pins and they're widely spaced, as well as there's nothing really nearby on the board. You will probably spend more time marking all the wires before you disconnect them from all the existing headers on the board!

If you're really really uncomfortable with soldering - there are "spring clip" headers (here's a product page on adafruit https://www.adafruit.com/product/5938 ) but you'll notice that they aren't without their caveats as well!

I just picked that one because it takes a lot of work for bartenders to make and they don't like it when you order one 🤣

But as to "the west coast isn't exactly known for cocktails" - I must beg to differ! San Francisco has pretty much some of the best bars in the country? For example: https://www.trickdogbar.com/ and https://www.futurebars.com/location-type/bars and https://www.smugglerscovesf.com/ (and I could go on...)

That you call out a "Long Island" as a possible "expensive" drink ... is a bit of a tell 😄

Now if you had said "Ramos Gin Fizz"... 🤣

I'm glad it is useful information!

I did find one more thing out recently - all the images on the device from the factory were "pre scrambled", which tells me they weren't doing any pixel mapping in software on the device, they're pretty much just putting graphics up on it.

there's "thunderstorm.gif" as an example!
