Lets just say the Pixelstick takes light painting to a whole new level! Beware, you will attract curious passerby’s with your fancy lights at night. While it is still fun to see what you can create with flashlights, the team over at Bitbanger Labs launched a successful Kickstarter project and developed the Pixelstick. You are limited with the designs you can create using this standard method though. Usually the light source is a basic item like a flashlight. The light will show up in the image just the way it was moved around. Put simply, for those who aren’t aware of what light painting is, it is a method of utilizing the long exposure on a camera and a moving light source. It’s my plan to start shipping kits out by September 12th.ĮSPixelStick thread on doityourselfchristmas.Light painting can be a fun and creative addition to any photography. The dates on this buy are pretty short to give people time for their Halloween shows as well.

I will periodically review submissions, issue invoices via PayPal and update this thread with participants. To ease logistics and keep orders / shipping straight, I’ve created a Google Form for participants to fill out.

I’m doing this a little different than most group buys. THT BOM – This is the BOM provided for you to assemble.ġ – HT3.96-6P plug and right angle socket * PayPal fees are included in these costs Shipping** – All US shipping will done via USPS Priority Mail small flat rate boxes – $6.80 Only components left to solder are headers and buttons.ĮSPixelStick Kit* – Includes all SMD pre-soldered and BOM (minus ESP-01) – $10 eachĮSP-01 Module* (optional, but required to complete) – $3 each No longer have to worry about voltage configuration.Ģ) Mounting hole sized for a #8 screw to easily mount in CG cases.ģ) Fixed the issue with using 3.3v programmers.Ĥ) Fixed a potential issue that could cause the ESP module to hang if a watchdog reset occurred or the module rebooted.ĥ) All passives are SMD now. It has an on board buck converter for 5V-24V DC input that will run 100% duty cycle at 5V and the 3.3V LDO is a different part as well. Please feel free to address any questions or concerns in this thread, thank you!ġ) Power supply section is completely different. The ESPixelStick V2 is provided in kit form, with all SMD components pre-soldered. The controller is small enough to fit inside 1″ thin wall PVC, allowing you to embed the controller next to your element eliminating issues of long pixel runs. Once connected to your WiFi network, further configuration can be done via the embedded web server. The firmware is open source, available here. The ESPixelStick supports up to four universes of WS2811 pixels on a single output, or up to 63 GECE Pixels.

An overview of the ESPixelStick V1 is available here, and I’ll expand on the V2 changes in just a bit. The ESPixelStick is an E1.31 WiFi pixel controller built around the ESP8266 in an Arduino environment. The cost will be the same as the last group buy, and I’ll be using Google Forms with PayPal invoicing again for order placements. All orders for the group buy must be placed and paid for by midnight on 2/12. This buy will last 3 weeks, ending on February 10th and I expect to start shipping boards out the week of March 13th. This post has been updated for the first round of 2017 Group Buys.
