Just looked up the ESP32 controller. Looks like that would be ideal to control a light from a cell phone as it's also for using with LED lights? So should be able to run 12 volts into it and out to the light? I just need to make a housing for it that goes with my sculpture?
BTW, one reason I wanted to scrap old TV tubes and other electronics is for the wiring to use in making wire wrapped jewelry since I'm too cheap to just buy wire from the store.
Only issue I've had is how to dissolve the varnish off of motor windings. I like bare copper because I now know how to make my own chemicals to oxide the copper black and then rub off a bit of the oxide to give highlights. Also I chanced on some sort of high grade cable made from I think nickel and copper. It looks like silver but is a bit heavier, stiffer and only takes a slight oxide. Great for making multi colored wrappings.
Sounds like you're having fun. Too bad so many people are totally absorbed in the new China virus religion. Like you, I enjoy playing with what's already around me. I wish other people could do the same thing and leave us alone instead of badgering us with nonsense.
