Various projects I work on
I’ve uploaded the current build of PinkyPi to Thingiverse for download.
This is the initial public release, and has gone through several design changes to get where it is today

Installing OctoPrint-TFT
I toyed abit more with PinkyPi last night and printed out a slightly modified case as well as started to mix some colors from my 3D printer.
Check out the progress in our forums!
I made just a couple very small changes to the case layout for PinkyPi 1.1, a small groove to line up the sections abit better and closing up the micro USB and HDMI ports a little.
I do still want to do some more design to the inside of the base, to hold the battery charging module firmly in place, another notch or two to help secure the layers / sections together, some possible bracing in the middle layer and a possible redesign of the A and B buttons.
I’m working on a walk through of all my Christmas lights and Props I used in last year as well as this years show. This can all be found in our Community Forums.

I finally got PinkyPi v1 put together and booting! I’ve played a few games on it so far to test everything out, though I am having audio issues. I fear I broke the negative wire going to the speaker during assembly.

I’m working on a full write up of my Christmas light show from 2018, my second year doing Christmas lights.
You can find the article in our forums.
I’ve also provided the Arduino source code I used in my setup, for both Relay control as well as WS2811 RGB LED control.
This software interfaces with Vixen 3 running on a computer in my garage and allows Vixen to talk to the Arduinos and control my display.
