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

• 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…
• One week product
