MEP EP#234: Bashing LEDsParker
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
Snap dome buttons
Interesting requirements for footprints. Not sure how to do it.
Snaptron BL-series
0.07 or 0.01” hole for LED - not a whole lot…
