History (reverse order => latest on top)

• merged WS2812 stripes again, added 12v -> 5V step down converter and car battery
• added WS2812 stripe, cut into 2 parts - finally did not work when running as standalone version (obviously due to cabling issue within cramped aluminium frame)
• enforced frame - ws not stable enough for stormy weather
• basic version, without LED's just a LED 10W RGB Floodlight for illumination

Want to see it ?

• till Dec. 29th the sign is planned to be in operation at the Märchenbazar X-Mas Market, next to the Lab.

Todo

• strengthen frame
• modify code to simulate origin of fire in the middle of the sign
