re: WLED stair project - 2 flights and a spiral stairway

Any time. I’m doing a lot of the same stuff. Currently ripping apart the Halloween box full of a thousand wires, timers, pull ups, and relays, to make it just a simple esp32, Darlington array, and 16x dry contacts.

I bought an 8 channel opto coupler board to maybe reuse those beam sensors but I don’t think I’m going to use them.

I’m just going to build a docker web app using Ultralytics where you draw a polygon filter, set 2 points, one at each end of the polygon, and the app outputs position of people normalized to the polygon and the line between the two points. If I get that done in under a few hours then I might make it fancy.

I’m way better at the electronics and robotics stuff. Ai lets me write software in a reasonable time frame where making a simple fan control used to take me a week because I’m horrible at writing code.
