Weekend mini project: a jig for configuring #PixelBlaze Picos, and another for testing Fibonacci64 Micro HDRs (used in Lux Lavalier).
I used perma-proto quarter-sized breadboard PCBs from @adafruit, M2 standoffs, pogo pins and receptacles. The clothespin is temporary until I mount these on a board and get some proper small toggle clamps.

Here's one example of a #Pixelblaze sound reactive pattern running on a Fibonacci512 and eight Fibonacci256 (not included 😆). 🔊

Fibonacci512 is back in stock on @tindie!
https://www.tindie.com/products/23600
Fibonacci512 is a giant, beautiful, sound-reactive 320mm (12.6") disc with 512 WS2812B addressable RGB LEDs surface mounted in a Fibonacci distribution.
Driven with a #Pixelblaze by @wizard, patterns can be written, tweaked, arranged into playlists, etc all via the web UI over WiFi.
I have one in stock now, should have another this weekend.

Ported my CycloHex snakes #FastLED pattern to #Pixelblaze for @maketvee's flower display: https://gist.github.com/jasoncoon/e7cc81eb9829658a0ee0af0c4288dbe2

Is this the world's first RGB breadboard powered with #Pixelblaze by @wizard? 😁

Jumperlux by @ArchiteuthisFlux: https://www.tindie.com/products/architeuthisflux/jumperlux

A simpler, passive version of their impressive, truly Jumperless breadboard: https://github.com/Architeuthis-Flux/Jumperless

It has 80 WS2812C-2020 addressable RGB LEDs, one under each row of the custom, nylon SLS 3D printed breadboard. It also has custom breadboard spring clips with solderable tabs on the bottom.

Honored to be included in this list!

#Pixelblaze Heart pattern by @geekmomprojects on Fibonacci HDR Heart ❤️💚💙

@ratkins I already have all the LED XY coordinates from the PCB layout. So it's just a matter of getting them in the right order. They're numbered on the PCB in Fibonacci (logical) order (center outward). I map from logical order to the order they're routed physically on the PCB. I then use my LED Mapper tool to convert them to #Pixelblaze format: jasoncoon.github.io/led-mapper

Fibonacci HDR Heart first light! 🤩
#RGB magic provided via a #Pixelblaze Pico by @wizard mounted on the back. Magnetic battery holder by @geekmomprojects makes it into a necklace.
Still need to work on the pixel map, diffuser, and back cover.

Rewrite of the pixel stack for #pixelblaze All 16 bit per element throughout. Tons more HDR LED options now, and have NS108 and WS2816 LEDs support. Here's a 2" x 2" ws2816 panel at 1% brightness, for example.

Just ordered a new prototype PCB from @oshpark!
This one is a heart-shaped 40mm Fibonacci with 74 HDR SK9822 2mm² addressable RGB LEDs. On the back is a footprint for a #Pixelblaze Pico from @benhencke, and pads for a necklace battery holder from @geekmomprojects.
I cannot wait to assemble and test this one. I will, of course, post pics & video when I do.

I'm super happy I started tinkering with the #LinuxCNC Python API. It allows for basically unhindered addons, without modification to the core. Now my dust collector is automatic when the spindle starts/stops and I've got a #PixelBlaze reporting job progress!

Since the Fibonacci256 HDR and #LuxLavalier both use #PixelBlaze controllers, the exact same pattern code and tutorials work for both!

Here's another track (Behind The Sun by Odesza) and another way to map the #PixelBlaze Sensor Board audio data to a Fibonacci256 HDR LED board. This one has a background rainbow, the Y axis flipped, and the X axis mirrored so that low frequencies are at the bottom and vice-versa.
Have I mentioned the fact that all of these changes can be made on the fly in the web app via wi-fi?!

🔈 Loud music warning! 😁

and another minor upgrade... #pixelblaze and an LED strip. Not just for MOAR LEDS but wanted red light then other night while setting up my telescope.

My final assembly table is full of parts for #LuxLavalier, #EvilGeniusLabs Krakens, Fibonacci64 Flowers, Fibonacci256, and Fibonacci512!
Have you ever seen so many #PixelBlaze in one photo?! 🤩
Or PixelBlaze Sensor Expanders still panelized?
Lux Lavalier is in stock in @wizard's store:

Everything else is coming to my @tindie store in the next few weeks!

2022 year in review: what a year! I sold a lot less, but created so much more! Traveled to new places, saw the Redwood Forest, attended SiliCon, met friends & makers in person, went all-in on #Mastodon, & collaborated with talented creators! Huge thanks to @geekmomprojects & @wizard for being lovely to work w on the Lux Lavalier project!

#LuxLavalier supply drop from @wizard!
I'm taking a short break from orders, but I should have more listed for sale next week.
I'll also be listing the 40mm Fibonacci64 Micro HDR for sale separately, for use with your own #Pixelblaze, your own projects, etc.

Here's the #Pixelblaze mapper tab, with an amazing rotating 3D render of the LEDs in the tree!
