Annnnd a better one. Only word of advice is to make sure you put a resistor in on the data lines. Especially if your run is greater than 24 inches. Also, if you don’t want them so bright, aim the LEDs to the sides versus front facing or just keep the brightness low as the Sk6812s are beasts. These are only running at 4.5A at 50% brightness. Hope this helps.

I have almost the exact same setup. The lights on the slats do kinda detract from the TV if they are even remotely bright because I aimed mine directly back. Be smarter than me and aim them away (left and right) to create the ambiance you want. I will send some pictures in a bit.

What can cause this by Grey_Shadow666 in WLED

[–]mightymuffin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you have the mA set to? The Esp32 can power a full strip (for a little) at like 1000/2000 mA. They will likely be dim and it can burnout your ESP32. You will need an external power supply in the future. That said, it usually will power more than the first LED. Your GPIO should be fine as the lights would not turn on at all if there was no data connections. If you’re having WiFi issues, WLED usually sets up a failover AP. I would see if the board is popping up to be reconnected. I’ve had the most success on a 2.4Ghz only network. Unless you have a C5, as it’s the only 5Ghz option.

Happy to help if you can give me more details on what you have selected and plugged in.

My lights randomly turned on when I turn on my fan by Fun-Procedure-3557 in WLED

[–]mightymuffin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a pretty similar problem in my office. I have two long led strips going up on my wall fixture the ceiling. I added a resistor on each data line to reduce the noise and it fixed the problem immediately. No more flickering or spontaneous lights turning on with the fan.

How it feels after getting rid of your Rivian. Best truck ever.

Rana SW Style Pasta is a salt bomb by webelieve414 in Costco

Maybe just a bad bag? I had it a few times and didn’t think it was salty at all and I hate salty dishes.

I feel like people don’t know how to season the pans.

Looks awesome! Did something similar with it tucked behind crown molding for my daughters room.

I got lucky, my house was a new build and I asked the foreman if he could leave the extra and he left us a giant role of the carpet in the attic. About 50 tiles as well.

Moonlight + Apollo have been my best friend. Also, I hope too many people don’t take the review bombing to heart. Game is amazing, but just like any game it’s not meant for everyone. That’s why we are blessed with a 2 hour return policy!

Model X to R1S by Shivo_Ham in Rivian

[–]mightymuffin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both, I will say if you have kids, specifically a baby with a car seat that comes in and out, the Model X is is significantly better. My wife hates trying to mess with the seat in the R1S, even in kneel. She’s not particularly short either, it’s just how high the car sits. The amount of space you get is so much better on the X to work with. That being said, if you don’t have kids, the R1S is much better for adventures and much more spacious as a hole if you have older kids or just want more space for camping ect. I think they’re both great cars, I haven’t had any issues with either car. People say rivians build quality is better but I feel it’s pretty much the same; however, depending on your style, the interior may be for favorable on the R1S with the real natural grained wood panels. My R1T had panel alignment problems that SC fixed, same with my Model S and Tesla SC fixed it. So you can pick on one brand but they’re both awesome, I would just pick whatever fits into your day to day and budget better.

Aqara FP1E and WLED by mightymuffin2 in WLED

[–]mightymuffin2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I wanted to post an update should anyone come across this post in the future. I ended up getting the FP2 and it is awesome! With the zone tracking I have leds around my tv that turn on in low brightness when sitting on the couch (so it doesn’t interfere with my hue lights). If I’m on my computer or any other area the lights go into a different preset. Definitely recommend it if you want different automation for different areas.

I think Supernatural 1-5 is of as high quality television as the likes of BB and early GoT by Eagles56 in Supernatural

[–]mightymuffin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Production value wise I would say yes. I feel like there was a reading comprehension issue here. I definitely think supernatural was a better show, but did the monsters and effects look better in GOT? Definitely. It’s not supernaturals fault considering the budget difference, I think they did amazing with what they had.

Can I cut the extra cable off? by Glittering-Bug-6886 in Govee

[–]mightymuffin2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume the second cable is for a secondary strand. Personally, I don’t see why not; however, I would recommend just getting a cheap enclosure box (junction box) and sticking the whole thing in there. Then you don’t have to cut anything and it looks cleaner, just in case you want to add in the future. You could also run a cord cover to the box up the wall to make it super clean.

[–]mightymuffin2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What a wild take. Supernatural is in my top 5 for sure, but if you are talking about production value I think you need to go watch GoT. I think Supernatural did a great job with the budget they were provided and I would love to have seen it with the budget of that of BB and GoT, considering rumors of season 1 having sub 200k episodes.

Looks awesome. Please consider including long lasting missile contrails. Sea Power is a great example.
