I can't help myself. The LEDs go on everything. My latest project is putting them in the ferrules of my bagpipes. Ferrules are these little [ivory back in the day but now] imitation ivory, round ornamentation thingys on the drones and blowpipe. I'm removing the old ones, and casting new ones that are translucent. Im putting LEDs inside them. The LEDs have a dedicated color for each note I play, while I play it.
Of course I can never hold off to share til it's finished, so here it is... it's just the start though....
The new ferrules aren't made yet, and I can't get some of the old ones off still. The LEDs in the video are bare currently. So they will be dimmed some when I get this thing finished.
The code still needs some tweaks, or maybe it's the fact that I haven't played my pipes in over 6 months, but I get occasional flickering in the LEDs.
I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on this, and it might be a while before it's finished, but when it is I'll post a new vid
