Ouch! My Eyes! Arduino WS2812B Setup & RGBW Transformation (Cabinet Light Pt. 3)
Routers! They also cut wood. (Cabinet Light Pt. 2)
I figured out a design! After calls to friends and chatting with friendly people at the local hardware store, I go with this design where I route out a single 2x4:
2-by-4 Design idea

Result

I go with this design to prevent complicated carpentry work that I'm not confident about. Instead... I still do carpentry work I'm not confident about, but at least it's simple! Also, I get to buy a new toy :P
Cabinet Light Project - Part 1
I really want to replace this terrible light fixture under my cabinet:
Cabinet Light

It shines light right into your eyeballs and give you a headache. Not ideal.
To replace this, I want to build one! But a little fancier. I want to have:
- The light to not shine directly into my eyeballs
- Granular power controls
- Turn a section on or off
- Turn all on
- Turn all off
- Color controls
- Modify the color to be any RGB - ideally warm white or cool white (I like a brighter cool white while my GF likes a warm white)
- A nice wooden housing
What even is a blog software?
There are so many option for blogs. It's crazy. I feel like I just want something simple, but it turns out, I actually want something more complicated.
I want:
- Simple post writing - just a text file is fine.
- Assets
- Back/forward navigation
- View posts in order
- permalinks etc
Result? I think Metalsmith looks pretty nice - so I'm going with that.
