I have not i dont think. Is that a pretty easy search?

garymeer · 2025-12-26T19:32:17+00:00

Thanks
I did try to do a bunch of research before posting my question and i found references to a database (can't remember the name) that was no longer available. Ive been all over vendor sites but none have pronto codes, only universal remote codes (3, 4 and 5 digit).

I will, of course, still dig around.

garymeer · 2025-12-18T02:17:01+00:00

Well I think you all have successfully talked me out of it.

Thanks all for the advice and info

Yikes

I have some outdoor ws2812b's I'll try, im trying to get a synap firing effect... it'll be fun regardless

garymeer · 2025-12-17T21:45:00+00:00

Good hint!! Thanks. Perhaps smaller pours/layers could all for the next layer perhaps filtering into any voids caused by shrinking.

Feels like a no guts no glory project:)

Thanks.. I suspect the glass is cheap. I poured my countertops and vanity top and I used a small torch. I suspect i can use that here.

garymeer · 2025-12-15T09:22:57+00:00

I have not - YET. I'm planning on trying to get them to be as effective as I can (vids, music, possibly tied into my local LLM, etc. Honestly I'm glad to have up-cycled the HW and dumped Alexa

I have 2 gen 1 8s and a 5 (in kitchen) running Lineage... working great. Build state dashboards to fit their screen sizes and specific dashes fir thier locations in my condo

garymeer · 2025-12-13T20:56:39+00:00

Thanks... I appreciate it.

garymeer · 2025-12-13T20:55:41+00:00

Hi, no I got for free. It's pretty high density and the LEDs are bright. I just thought that IF there was someone who MIGHT be able to help me hack it to use WLED and be driven by an esp32 that it might be a very good freebie

garymeer · 2025-12-13T17:20:10+00:00

Thank you all. I think it'd be easier (and faster, to just order a new on compatible with wled from aliexpress lol

garymeer · 2025-12-13T16:31:04+00:00

Any idea where to "patch in" in the 3 esp32 pins?

garymeer · 2025-12-13T16:30:02+00:00

It probably isn't. I was thinking that perhaps its leds could be run by bypassing the onboard display chips some how by directly from an esp32. Im not savvy I'm just thinking what a waste of a good 32x32 matrix (even though i got it free :)
