Re: Dim Neopixel rings more than np = (1,1,1)

Dear Robert,

sorry for the late reply!

Your approach works, but only up to approx. 20Hz or so. There is considerable flicker, or at least the brightness varies considerably.

Speaking with my wife, she prefers the brighter clock rather than the flickering clock :)

Dim Neopixel rings more than np = (1,1,1)

Dear forum, I've built a simple NTP clock with two Neopixel rings using the highlevel neopixel module on an ESP8266 with OLED display (NodeMCU ESP-12F). The clock is meant as a night clock, but unfortunately, the LED strips are very bright. Even at lowest color brightness, they are still too much of...

Re: ST7567A Dot Matrix LCD Controller/Driver

Hi, thanks! The "A" in the search term makes a big difference :) It seems the luma.lcd module is pretty mature: https://pypi.org/project/luma.lcd/ However, it only mentions SPI interfaces of the chipsets. The ST7567A (now?) also supports I2C. I will have to check. Any further suggestions are deeply ...

ST7567A Dot Matrix LCD Controller/Driver

Hello! I've very recently dived into MicroPython using the D-duino v2 with built-in 128x64 SSD1306 OLED display. Now, I'd like to talk to a second external I2C display in order to build a projector clock similar to this project (but a little easier and more DIY ;)): https://github.com/shufps/diy-pro...
