LED Diffuser for High Resolution 1701-D Warpcore

thingiverse

These diffusers transform the light from diffused LEDs into a uniform 345-degree column of light. This is accomplished by printing a column of fanned-out light pipes that radiate from the LED. Continue reading below the videos! Videos: They are all extremely short. Warpcore running at warp factor 2 Warpcore Standard from Novel Mutations on Vimeo. Warpcore running in rainbow mode at warp factor 2 Warpcore Rainbow from Novel Mutations on Vimeo. Warpcore mid breach. It starts at warp 1 and ramps up to warp 9 while the reaction chamber followed by the rest turn from blue to red before it slows down to warp 0 and repeats. Unfortunately, I missed the beginning so the video is really short and only shows from about warp 7 onwards. Warpcore Breach from Novel Mutations on Vimeo. There are two other modes where it fades the entire thing through the entire color spectrum that I did not make videos of. I want to add the ability to make it a vu meter as well. This is designed to work with my High Resolution Warpcore Remix of The Planet Mikes Warpcore. It will NOT fit the original. This design uses WS2801 NON-INSULATED Diffused Pixels that have been separated, wrapped in Kapton tape, bent and push-fit into the diffuser before being reconnected with bare copper connections. This is the type of LED I used because it's what I had already https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB19FOiNXXXXXcvaXXXq6xXFXXX8/High-quality-50x-12mm-DC5V-font-b-WS2801-b-font-Pixel-Node-Module-font-b-String.jpg it should also work with this type of WS2812's and you will also need to comment out the clock pin in the sketch and change the line where it says " FastLED.addLeds(LEDarray,NUM_LEDS); " to say "FastLED.addLeds(LEDarray,NUM_LEDS);" The LED's have a direction. That is one side is IN and one OUT. The IN side I have at the top and OUT at the bottom. I have the power coming in the bottom (doesn't matter where it's connected, it could be the middle or either end etc) and it's connected to the + and - terminals of the LED's. I then connected the Arduino + and - to the + and - terminals at the top of the LED's. This now powers the Arduino. The last wires on the first (top) LED now connect to the Arduino (Data pin to pin 3 and clock pin to pin 9). Once it's programmed and up and running, you will be able to connect the Bluetooth adapter to the Arduino. + to +, - to -, tx to rx, and rx to tx. You can not have the Bluetooth connected to the Arduino while you program the Arduino because it uses the same serial port on the Arduino. There is a way to program over Bluetooth but I haven't ever done it. UPDATE: May 17, 2018 Android program to control warpcore submitted by user Catmandu13 and is available on the Google Play Store for free at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_cterry42.WarpController2 UPDATE: Mar 27, 2018 Update the Arduino sketch with fixes for memory issues on platforms other than Pro Mini. Try Warpcore_8.ino if you have had issues with your program running correctly. Fixes provided by users in the comments section. UPDATE: Feb 7, 2017 I updated the arduino sketch with missing data in serial help. I did not have instructions for the pattern settings in the serial help display. https://theledroom.wordpress.com/2017/02/13/ncc-1701-d-warp-core/ Wiring
