I think I like my little gay LED unicorns. Fifty LEDs, thirty unicorns. Clearly I need to get more unicorns.
Made this out of a bunch of Wilko unicorn solar lights, a WS2811 12V LED string, a DC-DC converter and an ESP32.

Fi-balloon-acci64! 🎈✨
Full credit to @ItsMrJP for the idea. The front is white acrylic with a thin black layer that can be laser etched away. Behind that is a black acrylic grid, then a Fibonacci64 driven by an using . All mounted onto a laser cut acrylic back using M2 screws and standoffs.

After two hours of very fiddly soldering, 4 glue sticks and 2kg of broken glass, my latest Human Interface Device is ready for code. I present Most Dangerous Crystal Doughnut.
No idea what I'll do with it once the glue dries but there's 60 addressable RGB LEDs under there, powered by the most excellent

@maketvee Brilliant! 🀩
Thanks for sending me one to test! Got it mounted on my Enclosure, with the wires routed and zip tied neatly inside. I used an ESP32, hope to integrate it with status updates from Prusa Connect.

First project of the new year!
The parts finally came in for a prototype touch-sensitive Kraken.
I'm using an @adafruit Feather M0 Express with SAMD21 and to drive the .
Next I'll work on better touch animations, having the touch points trigger a pulse that travels down the touched tentacle then out the rest of them. πŸ¦‘πŸ™

@macegr yeah, definitely. My wife prefers Mark Kriegsman's TwinkleFox pattern with the RetroC9 palette above all others.

I already had it fully pixel mapped in 3D for use with , so it was super easy.

I still haven’t gotten around to making a public video about this matrix project I built in March. Figured I’d share at least a preview for my new (and old) friends. Uses and and .

Hello! πŸ‘‹

By day I'm a professional software engineer. By night I enjoy making things, especially organic-looking things with LEDs and electronics, using 3D printing and laser cutting. I sell some of the things I make, as Evil Genius Labs. 😈

I've made Fibonacci LED PCBs both tiny (128 1.2mm LEDs on 33mm disc) to giant (1024 LEDs on 500mm disc).
