UPDATE It seems that not all ESP32CAMs are made equal and the differences cause problems See https://www.esp32.com/viewtopic.php?t=18618 and in particular I can still use it with my other esp32cam modules but I have to hold the program button whilst connecting the USB to upload sketches Using this m...

I have used the ESP32-CAM for some time but programming it has always been a nuisance due to the need to short the programming pins and press the inaccessible reset button as part of the programming process, so this board looks like a useful alternative I have just received the board and sad to say...

The shape and the cross section of the clips is certainly not as good as the other ones. As is just about visible in my photo each prong of the clip is rectangular in cross section and us quite sturdy rather than being a thin wire. I think that this contributes to the tendency for them to be knocked...

The clips have arrived which was much faster than I was expecting They seem reasonably OK and certainly prevent the wires being broken where it exits the clip. The mechanism is quite stiff and sometimes they need quite a push to get them started opening, but they do work. Unlike the clips that you s...

Thanks, I'll take a look, but I'd be interested to hear your option when you receive them.

OK, I will let you know and if you want I could send you a couple to examine when they arrive

Thanks for the quick reply

The nearest thing I have found online is [LINK REMOVED] and I have ordered a set, but who knows how long they will take to arrive, not that it really matters. They are also available on amazon.co.uk but are, of course, more expensive

I find that when using these clips, even with flexible silicone wire, the wire is prone to breaking where the wire exits the clips as it is close to where the wire is soldered onto the metal of the clip. The clips do have provision for the wire not to be trapped between the thumb and the clip body b...

Downloaded and installed A quick example from me #include <HC8x8x8Cube.h> void setup() { CubeInit(); DrawMode(DRAWMODE_INVERT); Cube(0, 0, 0, 7, 7, 7, false); Cube(2, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5, false); } void loop() { Cube(0, 0, 0, 7, 7, 7, false); Cube(2, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5, false); Cube(1, 1, 1, 6, 6, 6, false); C...

Thanks Andrew I have applied the changes to the library and tested it. All OK Whilst you are tinkering with the Line() function can I suggest another change to allow it to be used to turn off a line of voxels ? I had originally copied the code for the Line function and created a new function named L...

There is no rush from my point of view. Currently I am just experimenting with different patterns to see how effective they are, hence the diagonal wipe
