that interesting part of getting to know someone where you figure out their music taste to send them recommendations

@s0 yeah I guess it's not true, I was thinking of the WS2812E but the only datasheet I could find (in Chinese), still has capacitors in the reference circuit

@s0 yeah that's definitely recommended, although some of the newer types (I think only 5050 size) apparently don't need external caps anymore?

with 24 tiny rgb leds, driven with a TM1640 matrix driver on the back. Unfortunately forgot to connect 2 grid lines, and the matrix driver isn't great for control either, so hence the switch to much simpler neopixels now that JLC will assemble those as well

i'm going to make v2 of the flora rotary encoder, with just WS2812B-2020 smart chainable leds, instead of the wacky led driver multiplexing

send me your favorite music and I'll try recommend you something

Highly recommend these "Mini 360" miniature buck converters for applications where you'd otherwise use an LM7805 or similar VReg. For a few bucks they'll waste a lot less power and heat than a linear regulator and sink more current, while taking up basically the same space. #tinkering
