New is powered from the poncho itself and is barely bigger than the control buttons 😁 With a buck-boost to maintain 3.3v in the 3-4.2V range of the battery

Old BeagleBone carried it's own 2S 7.4V battery pack w buck converter, all packed into a camera case. It took over a minute to boot 😭

After more than a decade of using the #BeagleBone as the controller for my poncho, I finally migrated all the animations code to the #ESP8266. Spent all day optimising the code and it works! Such a space saver. Ready for #Coachella

Added 2 #Oktoberfest/#Octoberfest patterns, first test of #Bayern/#Bavaria and #Deutschland/#Germany flags

Testing #GlowScroll for #MakerFaire vine.co/v/iEmW7pQHJEV

First test of radio sync for #MainzerRanzengarde drum line last Sunday #Helau #Mainz #Carnival #Karneval

In Mainz for #Carnival fin. TSA didn't look twice at my carryon: 22 LiIon packs, 14 reels of LED, box of wires

What a ride... @makerfaire Bay Area 2015 Editor's Choice #BlueRibbon? Neat! Thanks!

Somehow no video was made of my @burningman bikes last year... So I went to the garage today and fixed that. youtube.com/watch?v=EMx6YYcy…

Finally got MIPS toolchain working, built #WS2811/#WS2812 driver for #HLKRM04 module as WiFi AP+HTTP control UI. TINY

Love how many are geeking out on #multiplex demo! Also surprised at how many've not seen/heard of #ELWire @makerfaire

All cleaned up & working! Worth all the shocks. Tonight I try to actually install LEDs behind each junction :-D
