![]() These cards do not fit in the case! The Heltec units I've ordered from Amazon were original Heltec models and fit perfectly. The picture showed the Heltec devices, however the devices they sent were a cheap clone that has the display mounted flat on the board instead of on the plastic spacer. I recently ordered some ESP32 WIFI HELTEC kits from. If you build one of these without using the new PCB (which nobody except me has anyway so far!) make sure to comment out this line. Some of the wiring changed so there is an important change in the sketch. I am working on a new version with a PCB that also mounts the switch. Please let me know if I have missed any of the files or if I need to add more details or photos. You could also just solder the wires in the holes instead of using the jumper wires that I used for the first prototype. I mounted 90 degree angle pins on the ESP32 so I could put the wires on sideways. It is a bit of wiring but I made one that works from the wiring diagram. It has mounts for the SD reader, the level shifter, and the ESP. I added the STL file for the no PCB version. You can wire it by hand, or if you're interested I have designed a PCB holding the components that makes assembly much easier. It can be used with either 1 meter with 144 pixels, or two meters with 288 pixels total. You can control the painter with a single hand! It rotates to make selections and clicks to choose things. Instead I added a single dial/button that is in the handle. I originally used the touch screen like others but after use I felt it was too clumsy to use. ![]() I redesigned it using an ESP32 with a built-in display. ![]() Like many others I started building this thing with an Arduino Mega but I soon ran into memory and speed issues. ![]() I have attached a pdf file with a lengthy description of all the features of this design. Do a Web search for "pixelstick images" to see lots of example of what can be done with this tool. It takes a bit of practice to hold the Magilight level when you are working on uneven ground, but again a few trial runs usually sorts things out without further issues.This is a feature rich variation on the PixelStick used for light painting photography. The user manual contains a simple set of instructions to follow, the results speak for themselves. You can load your own creations (Photo's, artwork, etc) onto the micro-sd card to be light-painted into your images. To be honest it took me a few goes to get the timing right for my images, however, once I did, there was no looking back. In fact I found the menu system very user friendly and easy to learn. User-friendly UI: everyone can learn it in 5 minutes.Sliding handle – can be positioned anywhere along the length of the Magilight – with the centre point clearly marked.Tripod mount design: so you can put Magilight on a slide railway, dolly or a tripod.Controllable white balance, brightness, speed, orientation.RGB modulation: you can even use it as a background light for video or photo.Drawing light images: store images and display them one line at a time.Recessed TF card slot – no accidental bumping here.Customisable brightness, flash, flicker, colour temperature, play speed, play direction and start delay.Built in swivel to make spinning easier.
