This week Jake resurrects an old project he made a little over a year ago that stopped working. It's a RGB LED light bar with 192 color changing lights that can display all kinds of fun patterns and images when used with long exposure photography. Jake is upgrading the brains of this thing from a Raspberry Pi to an M5 Stack M5 Stick C Plus which runs on an ESP32 microcontroller. In this first part of a multipart series Jake 3d prints a case for the M5 Stick to mount to and wires up the electronics to the Lightbar. He then uses the FastLED Arduino library to make the LEDs generate some interesting patterns that look really cool when captured on a long exposure image!
