Hello Folks!
New Product Intro.
I love using USB Power Banks, but often find that they don't stay on long enough when I'm driving a simple 4-LED Conwy Castle board!
New from TerrainTronics is a kit that has a board that behaves like a USB Power Bank, but WITHOUT the disappointing auto-power off. It even includes the boost converter needed to make USB 5V, making it perfect for those addressable RGB LED's, along with any of the terraintronics products that use Wemos D1 board as their brains.
I'll be updating this video soon with more use-case information, but in the mean time, here's the inside scoop for those of you that hate adding the extra resistor to Conwy's to keep them on etc.
They are available on the Terraintronics USA store at:
tindie.com/products/terraintronics/18650-board-battery-and-bracket
Only in the US right now, because they ship with an 18650 battery. It's nigh on impossible to ship one of these internationally, but I'm working on it!
A Thanks to Michael @Nat1Videos for being the perfect example of this problem! He solved the same challenge in his latest build at:
