MEP EP#234: Bashing LEDs

Parker

• Didn’t get to work on the Cat Feeder Unreminder but there are lots of interest and ideas in our slack channel!
  • TheStumbler
    • Found a 12hr egg timer. Defeats the purpose of building and learning a new embedded skill.
  • Eric McFall
    • E-Ink for the persistent display.
    • This is a great idea. I will look through my parts bins for a e-ink. Might have one.
  • Derek
    • Does it count as feature creep if the project is still doing the same thing but is way more complicated?
  • Tony W
    • Jack in the box
  • DJ
    • Has been working with Flip Dot displays. Kinda power hungry in short bursts. 4A for only 5ms.
  • Bombledmonk
    • Go solar
    • Sanyo / Panasonic has panels for indoor lighting

Stephen

  • Snaptron BL-series
  • 0.07 or 0.01” hole for LED - not a whole lot…
• One week product
