Description
This is a Giant desktop LED. Its constructed to take a WEMOS D1 Mini and connects to the Adafruit IO service. I am using it to tell me when certain users I follow post on twitter by lighting up and in addition it has a push button so that you can cancel the alerts once you have seen them.
It started out as a copy of 3035829 , but the lens has been redesigned with a twist lock, the lighting ring now uses an NeoPixel 8 LED ring and is slimmer so as to look more scale. The base also incorporates a push button and there are bolt mounts so it can all be connected together robustly.
In addition there is now a version with a 128x32 OLED so you can also show status messages and last author post. Both bases are in the download and you can choose which one you want.
