Some of you newer members missed out on this, we picked up a bunch of parts to assemble kits to build this LED Marquee:

for the December meeting, and we still have a few left. Includes case, Wemos D1 Mini microcomputer and LED matrix panels. Assembly and programming instructions are at that link. The 3d-printed case I settled on was white, and I went with red LED panels. It looks good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re interested in getting into IOT devices, it’s a great intro project. Not much soldering, good Arduino experience\/introduction, etc. If you’re already into IOT stuff, it makes a great gift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost is $15 per kit. Not doing shipping to keep the cost down, but we could meet up in the area and do a handoff. HMU up on twitter @dc540baab or email dc540@dc540.org if you want one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
