The verdict after having the new MagicPoi test board for two weeks:
We learned a lot from our first test board!
What worked
- ESP32 breakout.
- Power circuit
- Charging
- APA102 strip breakout
- WiFi connection to server (code)
- POV (yes the poi images look good!)
What needs work
- Buttons (we got the wrong component)
- Small routing error, needed soldering, quick fix
- Charger (inside the poi, outside?)
what’s next?
- Fix the problems we found and add LED’s!
- Maybe we do one at a time, 2 more prototypes?
Progress on the server
Just a bit of UI improvements, slow progress! Many thanks to my Patreon Supporters, who now have access to the new test server to try it out. Join them here!
