PinkyPi v1 together!
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.

My Arduino based WS2811 RGB Christmas light show setup.
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.

PinkyPi vs 1.0 nearing completion!
I was able to get several kinks worked out of the design for the middle and bottom layer of the case for the PinkyPi v1.0. I’ve since printed the new sections and everything fits together as expected!
