I am 13 yrs old
I love playing with tech.
My favorite linux distros are Fedora and Ubuntu (mostly fedora though).
(It was supposed to make a strong N52 magnet float
using a custom active attractive electromagnet system)
This tiny little board can run WLED using the ESP32-S3-MINI-1 chipset
and control up to 2 sets addressable 5V LEDs (*it technically has 2 data pins, but you would probably run out of power with 2,
but there might not be enough to run 1 strip (depending on strip length)) while being the size of your thumb
and being able to power it with the included USB-C port. (hopefully, but probably not enough power to run bigger strips (ex. matrixes))
This was the project that i spent weeks working and waiting, and then when I built it and plugged it in, it blew a tantalum capacitor and blew burn holes into my rug.
The specs it was supposed to have was a ESP32 D1 mini running WLED, on a custom shield that had a LM2596-5.0 buck converter circuitry
(probably where I went wrong, because they are complex, and I had a ton of bugs in my design),
A fuse (put on the 5V line by accident, not the 12V line in), A level shifter for data stability,
and a spot to plug in a MAX9814 module with a gain jumper for audioreactive WLED,
and 2 terminal blocks for hookup (turns out I used the wrong footprint, so they didn't fit).
This program is wroten in python with the cmu_graphics library, a python library I was taught in school.
It has the python interpreter and the cmu_graphics package included, so you can just click the batch file and play.
I built it for the Hack Club YSWS fudge fudge fudge, and the symbols are all holiday themed.
added victory sound effects and have it so the patterns are random each time.

(It will work on Mac or Linux if you have Python 3.12 and the cmu_graphics library installed.)
