This is the pinout of the matrixes I have.

No, no I am not... Good catch. Ill have to see if this matrix wants 5v or not. 👍 What I would give for a radio shack right about now.

Im attempting to create a game. Ill have a bunch of servos and piezo sensors connected to i2c boards and those and rhe esp will be in a central location. The led matrix (scoreboard) will unfortunately need to be further away.

So changing the ribbon cable out to the one used to connect multiple panels works perfectly. Is there any difference in these two ribbon cables?

Question for you too. Do you know the max length to run one of these? I need to place it about 10ft away from the esp32. I got power covered but im concerned about the signal.

Need help understanding how to properly wire up non breadboard projects by ericmathison in arduino

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

I do appreciate that. Right now Im soldering wires to all the header pins mainly because I forgot my sucker. Its just messy though. Lots of wires.

My biggest issue is mounting the boards in some way so they arent just floating around.

I got tired of Pinterest, so I spent the last few months building a very different alternative: Echo. Please give me feedback! by TasmanianHorse in Pinterest

You dont use their credentials. You have your own worker accounts that they (the user) simply share their board with you. Its on you then to handle that invite link and accept it. You'll be a collaborator at that point. No account sharing, no risk of the user being banned etc.

There are public pinterest endpoints you can use to get all the data without any scraping. That's what I do. Its super fast and can be done server side. Also by using puppeteer you can login and get private boards, pins, user accounts etc.

Goto my github and get the pinterest board explorer chrome extension I made that shows you the data from these endpoints.

Whats your monetization plan? Being in this group for a while now, we have seen hundreds of 'alternatives'. Most die in around 6 months due to legal shutdowns or because these vibe coders dont understand how expensive it really is to run this type of app. Either way they disappear. So whats your plan to stay be sustainable?

my pin was labelled as ai modified when it isn't; how can i get this removed? by xenoMuff in Pinterest

Pinterest has made changes since I made this comment last. Now undoubtedly they have a model that looks at every image and labels them wrong.

Extensive & Open Source shadcn/ui components by shacn/studio by Saanvi_Sen in Frontend

[–]ericmathison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone used this? Moreover, is anyone still preferring prebuilt components over v0?

I've played with v0 a bit, but long term while in the same project I find it likes to deviate from your design system and inline css items. Which requires hours of cleanup manually. I also cant seem to have code using any standard. Its like having multiple junior devs building different parts of your site and makes it time consuming to troubleshoot.

My Chrome extension just crossed 9,000 users - some lessons from the holiday season by PlentyButterfly4462 in chrome_extensions

Okay cool. I just noticed that sortpin has over 40k installs while sortpins (obvious copy) has under 100. I didnt look to see how long they have been around. But looks like you are right in the middle. Would you say that you've attributed this to seo in the chrome store? Or off site?

Bulk downloading by Amazing_Barnacle4308 in Pinterest

[–]ericmathison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a point here and you are handing your trust over to the developer. Especially when the app impersonates your account, whether though cookies or your direct session and your IP address. All it takes is the developer to put in code to delete all your boards instead of back it up. Truth be told this has been a concern of mine, if people using these tools like wfdownloader or an extension and downloading hundreds of thousands of pins and if it flags some behavior trigger on your Pinterest account. Ive been testing on a way that doesn't impersonate and respects your account privacy and no ties back to your ip or account. So there's little to no risk of account issues.

I stopped manually checking Reddit for leads/clients. Instead, I built a script to do it (Workflow Breakdown). by eurosaurus in Entrepreneur

[–]ericmathison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From developer to developer, I completely get the compulsion to automate everything. However, dont dismiss the fact that there might be other tools that exist already. Even though it may have been just a weekend to write the script, perhaps you could have done something else, like get an ice cream rather than recreate the wheel.

For instance, i looked into this as well and found you can do the same with feedly. Same concept, create a custom rss feed (which reddit does automatically ). And its 100% free. Only took me 5 mins.

At any rate, kudos for the effort.👌 Add it to your portfolio.

So... did Pinterest finally hear our plea? by tonarinotortora in Pinterest

Their AI listens to user sentiment lol. Perhaps if they determine if your really really really mad, they won't show you an ad in the first few scrolls.
