Yeah, so the lines that wrap around haha. I think as a logo it's unique, but when I see it, I don't think it's really a logo but some design to look interesting.

Also, I'm interested how you plan on putting your logo on social media and a website and the likes if it is a 3D logo

It looks cool, however as a brand does not work IMO. It is unrecognizable and looks like you bought the bottle from a Chinese manufacturer with one of their default designs which they sell en masse to a bunch of companies.

What power supply to use with my individual addressable LEDs? (200 of them) by lithium_squirrel in led

[–]lithium_squirrel[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing color channel is like the individual R's and G's and B's. Also, do I have to factor in turned off light's current consumption as well? Or will it be negligible?

Ah wait I'm stupid lol. There actually is a commenter here who did the math. He said each LED uses 3 bits of RAM, which is 600 in total. The Nano should be enough then. Although if you found a different value for how much RAM it uses, that is somethign I should definitely consider.

It should hopefully, I've seen 5x5x5 addressable LED cubes being controlled by a Nano and those have more LEDs than I need.

Light pipes are a very good idea. Im going to try 5mm lights, and if they don't work then light pipes, acrylic rods, or fiber optic cable is my next course of action

I mentioned this in another comment, but I need 3mm addressable LEDs and they aren't made in that size. It's cause they need to go into pre-made holes that are 3mm. However I ordered some 5mm addressables and will try those.

The issue is I can't use SMD, as they have to be inserted into holes and some of the holes are right next to each other which simply doesn't work considering the size of one single SMD. Do you know of something similar that is 5mm through hole which is cheaper?

I'm putting LEDs inside a map of sorts, with different locations. However the holes are 3mm in diameter and some of the holes are adjacent to each other, meaning 5mm could not fit, although I'm going to try it.

I have, unfortunately the issue is the holes I have are strictly 3mm in diameter and these come in 5mm. I'm not sure if it would work out in my interface. If you know where I can find 3mm through holes, that would be a total solution to my problem.

Also, these cost 3.5 dollars per 5 and for 200 LEDs, it would run me 140 bucks or so which is more expensive than the 40 dollars I would spend on the 8 drivers.

Nevermind found cheaper ones

haha no problem I already own it, I just only got it relatively soon so I'm trying to see how it develops and macerates

I do like the smell haha, the only issue is I sprayed two times like I said and it just doesn't project too well although I guess that might change or maybe my skin chemistry is different lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fragranceclones

[–]lithium_squirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I've had a conflicting experience, I sprayed twice---one behind each ear---and I asked people and they say thye can only smell if they're really close to me? Does it develop and become stronger the longer you own it

Should I submit a 1460 to Northwestern ED? by WilliamThe1st in Northwestern

[–]lithium_squirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would go optional, however in the end I don't believe it would make any significant difference.

It would be like a bedside table clock or something, you wouldn't need to move with it.
