2026/07/31 Sunrise Festival, Poland

π 2026-07-31 01:01 in Clubbing, Festivals

I'll mix things up around a little and start with "where and why Sunrise"? :)

If anyone associated with Sunrise Festival ends up reading this page, please contact me (ledtranceguy on IG or FB), I would love for the extra LEDs to be allowed without issues:

Sunrise, should you go, would I go back?

Sunrise is a legit festival in Poland, if you're Polish and reading this page, you rule :) and you probably already know about Sunrise so you don't need my help with it. If you're not Polish, should you go?

First, since I come from far, once I already fly to Europe, I try to line up more than one festival to make the trip worth it ;) In this case, it was supposed to be Sunrise, Timescape, and a psytrance eclipse festival in Spain that Spain itself unfortunately cancelled. Sunrise is definitely worth the trip if you like to visit good festivals.

Getting there: it is honestly hard to get to. The nearest airport, Szczecin if you can manage to spell it :), is 2h away and barely has any flights and mostly despicable ryanair which were b*tches with luggage as always and costing me a lost hotel room in London after landing 5h too late). Gdansk is a bit bigger, but 3H+ away which is over $300 by private transport unless you manage to catch several buses in a row which may only run once a day. Basically renting a car and driving is the way, or being willing to spend $500+ in taxis/private transport.

But the cool-ish thing about the location is that it's literally on a former airport, with the main runway separating the stages and the campsite. Not a bad idea, an airport is not a bad place to make noise :)

this is actually the runway :)

The festival production itself is quite good, the team knows what they're doing and the DJ selection was pretty good (varied and included a fair amount of trance, which was much appreciated). The 5/6 different stages were quite nice (I'm told they stay in that location all year as the space is otherwise unused the rest of the year).

Another plus is most of the festival was late in the afternoon/at night, and the weather north of poland and close to sunset, was pretty cool and comfortable, which was a nice change from the heat waves going across Europe. Actually to be entirely fair, it got pretty cold later a night, as in bring layers cold.

not too long to wait before sunset

Pricing: it was not cheap. It was priced close to EDC Vegas level which I found high given that it's good but not EDC Level good. If you bought the VIP tickets, it was over $1000, which did include some ok food, but no drinks (those were extra). The food+drinks combo at Euforia Poland a few weeks earlier was much better, and the VIP experience was not to the level of EDC while being close to the same price. Poland is going well, I guess Polish people can afford it :)

VIP: a big plus was being able to get in easily and security just letting you in, but it was quite expensive for a side viewing area on some stages, and some food that was decent, but not worth the $1000+ for 3 days (especially when no drinks were included, not even water)

[rigimg:1024:297*|it was mostly about spending more money to be with other people who had also done so

as many expensive drinks as money can buy ;)

took advantage of the food

Security: that one is a bit tough to write about. The perimeter security was good, the security staff was quite thorough and seemed fair enough in what was allowed, and what was not, but indeed my LED panels were a bit too much for them. There wasn't really a good reason outside of mostly "a bit too weird and high tech". The guy who dealt with me at the entrance called someone to ask for guidance but that person wasn't even there and probably just said no as it's the default answer in Poland :) and to be honest they aren't really used to more elaborate outfits and didn't want to deal with it.

- On day 1, the guy allowed me in with it so I didn't have to go back to the room, but asked me not to use it or he could get in trouble. It was of course simple for me to use it anyway and figure no one would really care, but indeed the guy tried to be careful, I gave him my word not to, and I did not.
- On day #2, I tried another approach (camping side entrance), which was worse, and then figured out that because I had VIP on day 2 (which was very expensive), I could just walk in the main entrance with it and no one cared. Go figure...
- On Day 3, I didn't have VIP so they cared again, and it was about to get denied, until I showed pictures of day 2 where everything was fine, and then they said 'fine'.

So I'm not quite sure what to write, the disappointing part is that there was no one to contact before the event to ask for permission beforehand (no one replied). When I talked to a person in charge of security at the end of day #3 on the way out if there was someone I could reach and get proper permission for a future time, he took email info and I never heard back after that. I understand they have lots of do any many details to worry about though.
Yes, I know some will say "TMI, who cares?" and you're not wrong, while others have told me they are amused when reading the stories of my dealing with security or airports :) (on that topic, I did fine with all 3 airports after replacing my safe USB powerbanks with not as safe but legal lithium batteries)

All in all, it was a nice festival, it was possible to stay at decent hotels walking distance (but not cheap), but I'm not sure if I would go back if I can't reach anyone from the event to get approved for a future time.

Venue

nice decors, even outside by the campsite

camping side

good use of shipping containers ;)

green stage

plenty of food and drinks, for sale but the plastic glass recycling program was way too hard: stay in line, and return a useless token along with the glass or it doesn't count

For people not camping or staying around the area, they had busses that went to the main next town 20-30mn away I assume

3 Days of Music

I spent most of it at the "trance stage" aka blue stage.

a Paul Van Dyk - Aly and Fadi!

yes!

First time seeing Gus Gus

While I was mostly at the trance stage, aka blue stage, mainstage had some interesting acts:

scooter

still rocking

JAmes Hype is not generally my music, but he's an very skilled DJ and he played some fun tunes when I walked by

2026/07/26 LED Panels Battery Self Made Powerbanks

π 2026-07-26 01:01 in Arduino, Electronics

Why we live in a sad world where I had to make my own powerbanks

This page: Europe and ICAO Just Screwed Over Many People with 2 Powerbank Limit on Planes explains why people who rely on powerbanks to power things, are now screwed, at least in Europe. Please read that page for more details, but the summary is, they just passed a law earlier in 2026, and I found out the hard way. It boils down to: - you can still have 2 powerbanks, of any size below 100Wh, but only 2 - so the tiniest little phone booster I have in my pocket (I travel with 4), counts as 1 - I was going to an off the grid festival and had 4 real size powerbanks (90Wh+), so after trying to take off from Wroclaw in Poland, they told me to get rid of 2 - This didn't count the extra 6 smaller 60Wh powerbanks I had to power my LED outfit. Those were not allowed at all either, because too many - Now, what is a phone but a powerbank with a screen? These are thankfully allowed - What is a laptop but a powerbank with a screen and keyboard? Those are fine too - And you can have 20 raw lithium batteries. The ones that are not safe, the ones that will catch fire if you pierce them, and the same one that can cause a fire if you short them, which is easy to do on some.

So there we are, now I have to go back to using raw batteries, even to power USB things like my outfit LEDs, which basically means I need to build powerbanks with raw batteries (which means the batteries get counted as 20 batteries, and not powerbanks, and then I plug in the powerbank module and they become powerbanks after I'm already past airport security)

So now, I'm forced to make my own powerbanks again

I Emailed every powerbank manufacturer I bought from, and let the know they should seriously consider modular powerbanks where the battery can be unplugged and carried separately so it counts as a lithium battery with has a limit of 20, instead of powerbank which has a limit of 2 or 1, or even 0 depending on the country.
A few listened to my feedback, but I'm not sure they took it that seriously, or the fact that their powerbanks are literally getting banned in planes in more and more countries this year.

As part of looking for new batteries, I found foxbuying.com which made custom Li-Ion packs of multiple form factor and voltages and the support person I talked to was amazing in how much they cared and were willing and able to talk tech. As part of that, they gave me recommendations of powerbank ICs to look for on aliexpress, which was very helpful for my search.

Considering if Lipo Batteries would work, the devil I knew

The irony is that I used to use lipos for my LED outfit, mostly because it's what I already had from flying RC planes, but the truth is that they are not the best choice:

their energy density is not actually that great compared to Li-Ion batteries, Lipos are meant for high power discharge, which I don't need on my LED outfit (it uses up to 20W or so), so they are bigger and heavier for no godo reason

lipos are still optimized for weight since they are used in RC planes, so they have little anti fire protections. They can be pierced pretty easily and will catch fire

if you short lipos, you're going to have a bad day, they can put out 100A or even more, enough to melt a lot of things

of course lipo packs need to be carefully balanced or you could overcharge a cell and get it to catch fire

and if you over discharge them, you will damage them forever

plus you need a custom balancing charger to charge them carefully, and those chargers are usually not small

Given all of this, it's kind of a miracle that I used them for more than 5 years without any issues (even if my circuits did have fuses and I was religious about using low voltage alarms).

I didn't have a lot of luck finding nice lipo packs that weren't too big, and I found this one:

6S 88.8Wh

but the issue is that it had no BMS, so I checked if I could find small balancers I could just connect forever, and by the time I got them, I realized they were huge and even their balancing plug is not the same size as the one on batteries.
As part of the BMS boards I found on aliexpress (thanks to foxbuying.com), one of them supported lipos and balancing packs, which would have been great, but sadly it was configured with undocumented micro resistors on the back that I Was not equipped to adjust:

this could have worked if I could have changed the board to 4S since almost all my lipos are 4S

turns out after days of back and forth on aliexpress support, I Was told the boards could be used with straight batteries without the balance connector, but still limited to 3S

Too bad it was not configurable for 4S or 6S as I did get it to output 20V for my laptop

So I gave up on lipos.

Trying Powerbank Boards and Picking Li-ion Batteries

I tested lipos while I was waiting for the foxbuying lithium packs to arrive (I bought 2P/7Ah 3S, or 84Wh, from which I was able to get around 70Wh of real capacity).

This other board I received from aliexpress turned out to be the first winner: it supports 2S to 6S, can charge at 60W and also has a USB-A output which is a win for me since my LED outfit does use USB-A

of course, it can make any USB voltage up to 20V and charge a laptop or a phone

The problem with those boards is the poor documentation and I couldn't get that board to charge my batteries, until I saw this on the back:

needed some help from google

the tiny 2/3/4/5/6 solder traces are just right of the display

and finally got the power to flow the other way

added some shrink wrap to protect it

I did built my LED outfit to support multiple voltages and work from raw batteries or USB-PD from 12 to 20V:

and USB-A for my pants and shirt

I can also use the USB-C as output for other LEDs

While going production, finding the right multi battery cables was hard, so many had insufficient wire gauge that was disclosed nowhere in the product

even this male male connectors melted the inside wire

the outside still works, but 0.1 ohms shows poor and cheap wiring

And then, even the foxbuying batteries were not able to deliver the 8A they were rated for. I don't actually need the 8A, but the anti short protection BMS kicks in very late and allows the battery to overheat and melt its shielding. Here, discharging at 8A, I got 78C on this connecting bar that overheated enough to melt the shield

I'll be honest the battery was warm enough to burn my finger, not good...

and this happened on a partial short that was not enough to trigger the BMS short cutoff, not good

and the short was due to this bad soldering point that failed

The best of aliexpress, poor manufacturing and no quality control

A huge thanks again to foxbuying for the outstanding pre and post sales support, as part of that, they recommended:

Lightweight Board (for LEDs): An SW6208 or IP5328P module (18W-22.5W, 1x USB-C, 2x USB-A, flat display).

Laptop Charging Board (for 65W/100W): A standalone SW6308 / IP5388 buck-boost module

While looking for those, aliexpress also recommended IP2366, there are plenty of options and they are small and efficient, it was just hard to find quality boards that arrived undamaged, and none of them came with a case or box, which is still an ongoing issue for me (I'm not much of a 3d case designer).

Then, these boards finally arrived, and those were china at its best, great features, cheap, and 3 broken out of 4 :

shipped with broken screens

shipped with broken button, support wanted to ship me a new button for me to surface mount solder

pretty when it works

So I got a refund for the broken ones, took one week of arguing with the sales person, bought more, and 3 more were broken:

how is that even possible?

the new version with a bigger screen is nice, this is the only one that worked but good luck putting it in english but the IP2366 chip is cool

I had to use google translate to finally find the menu in chinese

and this other bigger screen one was also broken

Those boards were great until I realized that if I unplug the battery to change it, they will not work or initialize until I plug USB charging power and reset the battery info on the screen (how many cells). OMG, so stupid... It was nice and pretty, but useless if it won't work after a battery change. After sales support did not agree that the board should remember last setting and work after a battery change, sigh...

I tested the one non broken board I got to charge 4 batteries in parallel:

starting at 9.9V

after 10H charging, 317Wh charge to 12.6V for 4 batteries (80Wh per bat)

And that's another board's documentation, positive on the negative point. WTF?

Turning Batteries into Stable 5V, 8A RC plane UBEC with 5.2V output

All this time, I have been using an automotive rated 12V to 5V 10A tobsun step down converter from amazon. Turns out it does work all the way down to 9V, but after that, not as much (and it's big). I had issues with my led panels rebooting in the field under high load and when the batteries were not as full. I bought DC 8-36V to 5V 10A 50W Step Down Converter Voltage Regulator but it turned out to be worse, it claimed to work down to 8V but that was untrue and it was even bigger. Waste of time and effort.

So I asked google gemini for help and it suggested RC BECs, which I didn't consider even though I have plenty. The big plus is I wanted to them output 5.25V to end up with more than 5V at the rPi3a after wire losses, otherwise the rPi would slow down and even reboot. Of course ESCs are designed for exactly that and plenty offered 5.25V output, but few had more than 3A output, until gemini offered this one, an 8-16A UBEC with 5.2V output, yes!

tried it under load at 4A and with poor wiring got 4.85V (more on my microcontroller with better wires)

and the best part is that the ubec is much smaller and lighter, triple win!

Thanks to this Ubec that works all the way down to 6V, I did a test with 2 7A/3S foxbuying packs and I'm now able to get 65Wh per battery pack:

works all the way down to 6V, 130Wh discharge

and 160Wh to recharge in 6H

While the foxbuying batteries are not super sturdy and as safe as powerbanks, I already knew that going back to my own battery packs would be less safe, but I also need to be honest that while they are very compact and light, it's disappointing their melt their thin outer shield while delivering the 8A they are rated for:

In comparison, these packs were clearly built with more safety and path redundancy in mind (there was a better sleeve around them I already peeled off before this picture and much better path for electrons to travel):

I however can't use them as I bought them at an electronics flea market for super cheap and they do not have official Wh markings on them other than what I measured myself while testing them. Their shape is also not pocket friendly. This one I took apart to salvage the individual cells and use them for solar lights ;)

The foxbuying folks did recommend to put my own fuses but I'm using cable doublers, triplers, or quadruplers and I would have to put fuses on each and every branch of these cables, which is a bit too much for now, I might do that later, but I really wish this was part of each battery's BMS, as it should be as adding all the external fuses is splitting cables, more connections, more places that can short, break, or go wrong. For now, I'm going to hope they won't get damaged during use or travel.

And in the meantime solid state battery powerbanks that do not catch fire if you pierce them: https://heybmx.com/ , are still banned.

2026/07/17 StoneStorm N355 M2 Daughterboard Repair with Gemini

π 2026-07-17 01:01 in Computers, Electronics

I am moving my main server to this small N355 StoneStorm server. It does include 4 NVME slots thanks to a daugtherboard that plugs into this port:

The daughter board looks like this:

and the back looks like this, input for 12V power from the motherboard and Vret to make 3.3V

Then, because I was reckless, I swapped M2 cards while the PC was powered, thinking they were hot swappable like Sata, but they sure are not. Eventually I caused a partial failure of the board. Gemini helped me debug the linux errors from the cards plugged in itand confirmed my guess that the voltage regulator on the board was now partially damaged and gave power, but not enough to be reliable under load.
A new daughterboard is only $20, but that's 2 week shipping from China while my new server would be down. So, it actually knew the daughterboard, it knew where to buy it from and the shipping delay, and it also knew how it was made before I gave it my picture. It confirmed that the best course of action would be to desolder the 100 component that was an inductor, and I could just unsolder it and connect a new 3.3V source to it.

After helping me find a new 5A Vreg on amazon, it looked at the picture of the board, and it confirmed the top pad, is the one feeding 3.3V to the rest of the board. It suggested I use flux to help unsolder the SMD component after I declined the suggestion to use a hot air gun that would be too likely to remove other components, some of which had to be useful:

yes, it looked ugly, but the inductor was removed safely, I then cleaned the flux

Then I happened to have the right female connector in my collection of cables and plugs (happy it does come handy at least a few times), and soldered in the new Vreg:

I had to move it on the other side so it would fit with the case closed

And there you go, I literally fixed the daughterboard and the PC works again! Yeah! I honestly was impressed by Gemini's knowledge of existing boards and its ability to read pictures I sent it, identify the components and confirm test points and how to verify I was adding the new power source in the correct place.

Back to work!

2026/07/02 Another Château Perché Festival Near Paris at a New Castle

π 2026-07-02 01:01 in Clubbing, Festivals

Outside of being kind of sick last year and low energy as a result, Chateau Perché last year was quite impressive, so because my schedule allowed stopping by this year between other EU activities, I made plans to go back. This year, it was however a much smaller venue and to be honest underwhelming compared to last year. I heard unofficially that there were 3 times fewer people but the event was also over 2 weeks, so I wasn't sure if it was 3 times fewer times 2 weeks, or 6 times fewer people each of the 2 weeks. Either way it felt a lot smaller, which was not a huge deal, but one byproduct was fewer stages with fewer means for each of them.

Got lucky one night, there was dew in the air which worked great for lasers:

Music was however a problem for me, most of it I can't say I liked, which was unfortunate:

Grenier Grivois - intérieur Fast Breaks, Global Bass

Librairie du Conte - intérieur Shatta, Latin, Funk

Ruisseau des Dryades - extérieur Techno, Deep Techno, Hypnotic, Tech House

Coquin Bassin - extérieur House, Progressive, Trance

Lisière Licencieuse - extérieur Downtempo, Melodic, Psytech

Archipel de Lorelei - extérieure Ecstatic Dance, Ambient, Chill Live

This year the caslte was a bit farther away, and thankfully they had busses from Paris that got you there in a bit over 2H. Meeting in Paris:

2H later

thankfully the walk from the bus to tipis was a lot shorter

security check was super fast and mostly 'please don't bring glass bottles'

the glamping tipis were decked out

and thankfully they had a charging station that saved my life

Like last year, you could bring all the food and drinks you wanted, and they had decent options:

I did have a crepe :)

La lutinerie had interesting workshops and shade:

for 'emergency use', they had a 'love room' for couples at night ;)

Some days, because it was too hot anywhere but in the shade, I went to hide :)

I wasn't the only one to hide :)

Later in the afternoon, people got into their costumes (or changed) and went from the campsite to the castle:

it was between warm and hot, plenty of water thankfully

A bit before sunset, I went to change too:

5 Stages, but they were not super fun during the day when it was hot:

that was funny though :)

Some vendors and displays:

Got better at night of course (except for the music that was often close to unbearable at almost all stages for me):

this stage really looked nice, but the music...

The people

One nice thing was all the nice costumes and how seriously people are taking the costume themes:

Jour 1, Hiver - La Danse du Marais Flamboyant (Transparence - Flamme - Brumer)

Jour 2, Printemps - La Parade des Nymphes Améthystines (Floral - Camaïeu Lila - Noble)

Jour 3, Été - Les Noces d'Ecailles et d'Ecume (Océan - Parures Argent - Chanson de Geste)

Jour 4, Automne - Le Banquet des Coeurs Effeuillés (Nudité - Abondance - Voiles)

This is what saved the festival for me, the people were awesome. Yes, they're my countrymen and all, but they just had great party spirit and put a lot of effort into costumes and lights, which I not only very much appreciate, but deserves extra credit when power sources to charge batteries, were limited:

the french equivalent of insomniac ground control, nice!

Conclusions

What fell short:

I missed the bigger forest where you could get lost, and end up in a stream if you were not careful. You could still can of venture frmo light to light, but given the small size, it was easy not to get lost and didn't have the same feel as last year

Stages last year had better quality of DJs with live performances like live Drum and Bass, Face 2 Face Vynil sets, and more

Last year had more psytrance and music that I enjoyed compared to this year

It's true that I know France is not known for its great trance and psytrance, but I was hoping for more than all this experimental stuff that was often so far out that I had to get friends help me to name it.

the glamping tipis were a lifesaver for me since I can't travel with camping gear, but they really could have used some kind of windows you could unzip at the top to get air in. They got uncomfortably warm during the day and the zippers are the bottom were kind of useless for airflow

I can't say it fell short, but I have to note that cell coverage was abysmal, which was a problem when you had to retrieve a ticket to get back on the bus if you didn't save it, or you tried to order a new bus to get home at a different time. They could have offered a few wifi access points linked to starlink or whatnot.

What I enjoyed:

I loved the people's party mood, costumes and lights.

Security was just the very basic necessary, you were allowed to bring food and drinks anywhere even if they had some for sale

No "cashless wristband" bullshit, you could pay with credit cards and phones, as it should be

price was pretty reasonable considering (around 250E for 5 days/4 nights)

transport in and out was good if you took the shuttles, no ridiculous waits like boom the last day

la lutinerie was awesome, the workshops they offered were unique and honestly really added to the festival (and this year they did things better by allowing signups online to avoid needless long lines)

Would I go back?
At this point, the reality is 'unlikely'. I don't get to go to a festival and say 'your music sucks', it's for me to enjoy it or find another festival with music that is more fun to me, and given the smaller footprint, and smaller amount of stages of the regular festival compared to the 10 year anniversary, it left me with fewer chances to find music that was enjoyable for me.
If I can get the dates to align, I may go back to Hadra, as I can work with psytrance more easily ;)

enough busses and it was easy enough to stand by on an earlier bus

2026/07/01 Europe and ICAO Just Screwed Over Many People with 2 Powerbank Limit on Planes

π 2026-07-01 01:01 in Electronics

They just passed a law earlier in 2026, and I found out the hard way. It boils down to:

you can still have 2 powerbanks, of any size below 100Wh, but only 2

so the tiniest little phone booster I have in my pocket (I travel with 4), counts as 1

I was going to an off the grid festival and had 4 real size powerbanks (90Wh+), so after trying to take off from Wroclaw in Poland, they told me to get rid of 2

This didn't count the extra 6 smaller 60Wh powerbanks I had to power my LED outfit. Those were not allowed at all either, because too many

Now, what is a phone but a powerbank with a screen? These are thankfully allowed

What is a laptop but a powerbank with a screen and keyboard? Those are fine too

And you can have 20 raw lithium batteries. The ones that are not safe, the ones that will catch fire if you pierce them, and the same one that can cause a fire if you short them, which is easy to do on some.

So these batteries that do not look great (and they are not), the ones that I worked hard to migrate away from, are the ones I'm literally supposed to go back to now that powerbanks are disallowed (yes, you can see my outfit uses 3, which is already too many)

so these batteries that do not look great (and they are not), are legal, but powerbanks are not.

So you're going to tell me, why don't you put those unsafe looking batteries in an enclosure? Great question, when I did that airport security wanted me to open the enclosure to see the battery inside and its readings. How about you make it professional and write the battery reading on the other side, and then add a plug to connect your things to it? Well, that's exactly what a powerbank is and those are not allowed anymore (past 2, which is a useless number for me).

See the problem? I need exactly 5 powerbanks to run my LED outfit, LED backpack, and spare charger for phone and camera. This is with no spares, often I need a 6th for a long night. This does not count powerbanks for my laptop if I end up in a plane without working power. Now you see how it's easy to get to 10 or more and why the new '2 max' really f'ing sucks.

So what are the other options?

find a way to rent powerbanks every EU country you land at, not sure if that's possible outside of abusing amazon prime (not nice to them)

just buy and mail powerbanks from amazon and throw them away, hundreds of dollars at a time, each time you fly in EU and get unlucky

I can also have 15 toys or laptops that have non removable lithium batteries in them. Maybe I just need to buy powerbanks with a video game screen on top, tape up the USB port at security, and say it's a video game, not a powerbank.

since I'm allowed to have 20 lithium batteries, I can go back to making my own powerbank in 2 pieces so they only find the battery and not the powerbank side when they search me. Basically this:

Does it surprise you that airport folks said those batteries looked like shit? Of course they did, and that's why I worked hard to replace them with powerbanks that looked a lot better.

Seriously, fuck, this sucks, now I need to replace 10 powerbanks that were not cheap and carry less safe ones because of this idiocy. Welcome back to the past, self made crap that will not look better or be safer, but somehow is legal

And because they really suck, they also banned solid state battery powerbanks that do not catch fire if you pierce them: https://heybmx.com
