Hey guys, here's my latest FW3A t1616 mod. This time with orange, pink, and warm white aux

Just look at that moonlight ๐Ÿ‘€

MCU swap.

Ahh I see you have collected the Infinity Stones. How very impressive Mr. Adair.

[โ€“] MasterNate@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Clean as always, beautiful work.

Love that aux combo!

Ahh yes the hidden recipe: warm white + some kind of pink or purple + a third colour. Always amazing.

You guys are knocking it out of the park with these MCU swaps. You'd think Lumintop would catch on, but instead they are killing the FW platform. So unfortunate.

When did you switched to 0402 LEDs?

Do you find them easier to manage?

[โ€“] Adair21@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

A few months back. The 0603 emitters liked to stick together

Wait, what exactly has happened here? Did you replace the whole driver in the FWAA? Was it an existing 1616 board where you swapped the leds, or what? I had somehow thought the FWAA was not an Anduril light.

[โ€“] Adair21@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is the FW3A. I swapped the MCU on the driver from a t85 to t1616 with an adapter board that also has pads for RGB aux

[โ€“] solrize@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aha nice, and presumably the adapter has flashing pads too. Very nice work, though I don't understand why start with the FW3A to begin with. Sorry about the mixup with the FWAA.

[โ€“] Adair21@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes it does, but you can only get to them when the driver is out.

Because I love the FW3A ๐Ÿ˜‚
