Thanks @kbob , I got a couple from Seeed Studio and they had the 2018 Copyright and I thought they might be counterfeit. (It cost less to buy them and ship them DHL 3 day than buying them from Digikey for example). I am also putting one in the FLIRC case and it seemed like it didn't fit but after some jiggling I got it to go.
I was thinking that using a ESP32 as an interface into the small cube I'm designing.
@tnt_twitter downcased. The public pages will update in a minute.
Now you just need a construction guide :p
I wanted to get all the credit out to everyone else working on cubes.
Ok everyone, the soft launch of the new discord server is here. Yes we are moving. I will be announcing and setting up more active redirects in the near future. Discord server invite: https://discord.gg/P7FYThy
@/all most of you probably already saw, we are moving the chat from Gitter to Discord. As the move to Discord is going pretty well I would like to invite the rest of you, who only have mention notifications enabled. ;) Join us on Discord chat for all the fun and information about ongoing projects. Share your progress help others and ask questions. The Discord invite link is: https://discord.gg/P7FYThy While I have your attention already, we also have a forum. You can post your questions and project logs there too. https://forum.icebreaker-fpga.com/
ApplePi I understand, unfortunately no solution is perfect. There is always a reason why one or other chat platform will have some type of issue. Fortunately we also have the Discourse forum to share your projects, ask questions and interact with the community: https://forum.icebreaker-fpga.com/
Just to make sure the links don't get moved too far up in the chat log, here is a link where you can find the new official Discord chat: https://1bitsquared.com/pages/chat and here is the link to our forum: https://forum.icebreaker-fpga.com/ see you all there! :D
@veloxsouth_gitlab great to hear that! Please join our Discord chat https://1bitsquared.com/pages/chat, or our forum https://forum.icebreaker-fpga.com/ as the channel here is discontinued. You will have a chance to reach more of the community members through the other channels. :D (I know that by accident some of the thank you notes in the packages still include the Gitter chat link instead of Discord.)
planning to play with led panels for the ice breaker LED pmod, would this aliexpress LED panel work? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32980497304.html
it seems led panel from icebreaker website is out of stock
First of all, this chat is not really active any more. We all have moved to Discord: https://1bitsquared.com/pages/chat
How did you find this gitter channel? I think I fixed all the links I could so that you should be ending up on discord instead.
That said, the LED panels should be in stock at least in the US 1BitSquared store.
The panels with the ICN chip are also available through CrowdSupply: https://www.crowdsupply.com/1bitsquared/icebreaker-fpga and mouser:
@tucanae47 the panels you are linking to on aliexpress might or might not work. In general most panels work but you might need to figure out how to initialize the shift registers. Also you can't judge that from the listing, as the only thing they guarantee is that you will get the correct size and led pitch of the panel, you have no idea what driver electronics or interface will be on the back. They also like to send something else than what the photos show.
So at the end it is a gamble.
If you can, join us on Discord, we can continue the conversation there. :)
Thanks
