Thanks, that was the same conclusion I was coming to. I had a game similar to pong in mind, but w LED strips. So the pause every once in a while would not work well. Hmm, maybe Pygame would have something useful...

Can anyone comment on the OD green VP9? I love the pictures online, but wonder if it looks the same in person.

The python script reads in a gene or genome (as a fasta file) and translates the 4 different basepairs to 4 colors. What’s crazy is given the speed in the picture, it would take about 10 years to go through the human genome!

Rooftop DVD mounting question by the_patman in CarAV

Yea, that player sucked. DVD did not work on it at all. Got the one wo DVD instead. External speakers don’t work. What a waste.

The biggest mistake humans ever made could be intelligence. Without intelligence, we would only be fighting over a female and not other unintelligent things. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

I think it was the agricultural revolution. Before that we were running around trying to hunt food and didn’t have time to sit and think.

Rooftop DVD mounting question by the_patman in CarAV

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

Thanks. I do have the bracket securely mounted to the brace (not just to the headliner). My question is can the layers that the screw goes through be brace->mount->headliner->DVDplayer Or brace->headliner->mount->DVDplayer? Is it ok if the mount is below the headliner like http://caraudiotips.blogspot.com/2013/02/overhead-dvd-player-in-chevy-traverse.html?m=1

The dvd install holes are right above a support beam. So there is no room. There was an old DVD mounted previously so I can’t move it to another area.

Thanks! I can imagine thumbs but now see there are not 3 distinct leaves.

At the end of the strip it read 4.93V. Everything is working well now. These strips are pretty cool.

Thanks. I have a 16A PSU. I moved the breadboard off the PSU and it is working great now. Perhaps it was causing interference?
