Pi Christmas Star

Yup, another pi pico w project.  I bought three picos so I'm messing around with them a lot.

I thought up this project after my sister got a new star for her Christmas tree.  It had LEDs in it and glowed brightly.  So I immediately wanted to one-up her and the best way to do that was modify a star topper with some WS2812B addressable LEDs.  I can use a Pi Pico W to control them and do cool stuff.

All it just consists of 12 of the LEDs wired to a USB A cable.  The 5v pad of the last LED goes into the picos vbus (can also use vsys) pin to power it.  The USB A goes into a generic 5v 1a power adapter (you should have like 100 of these).  I'm using an old apple adapter.

The code is pretty simple.  I wrote a somewhat abstract Pi Pico LED class because I imagine I will want to use these basic functions in other projects.  The code is so simple its kinda boring so I won't show any.  Also the main function is really disgustingly bad so I don't want to show that either.  Inside the main function is where the html and webpage stuff is.

This is what the UI to control the star looks like.  I didn't add that many functions because I couldn't really think of any.

And the final result:

For anyone exploring a character design, it is worth considering how details related to cosplay shoes will affect the complete look. When comparing costume options, reviewing details related to cosplay costumes also makes comfort and movement easier to judge. To review details related to short cosplay wigs before the event, cosplay accessories with detailed sizing can help narrow the options for a specific purpose. When planning for care after the photoshoot, it is useful to check details related to heat resistant cosplay wigs against the wearer's own needs.
