tree light update. We made a couple of days without anyone suggesting more than the initial patterns, but got a few more today.

First was to increase the brightness to make it more visible during the day. We had originally set the brightness to 20% to protect against user error/bugs and drawing too much current.

Another project that'll likely happen soon is a replacement for our sunrise alarm clock that has died. We tried a replacement, but it's just not bright enough to wake us from slumber.

The preliminary implementation will probably be outlet triggered by a timer from that powers an and strip of addressable leds.

This year is the first time putting programmable (addressable) leds on our tree 🎄. Previous years were just an outside decoration.

The immediate benefit to this was to create a boring program to start, get the kids to suggest improvements, and walk them through the code changes.

So far the tree has been improved to do:
1) 60 seconds of a rainbow that alternately lights odd and even bulbs.
2) 60 seconds of lighting a random bulb a random color and fading it to black.

This is my friend in street-clothes, no makeup, no costume. And afterwards she's like "Oh, wow, I felt so awesome looking at those shots" just seeing how cool I made the everyday version of herself look because that's the power of portraiture... in the days of yore that was something only the most privileged would have access to.

I used my Adafruit Feather M4 based light staff with some custom FastLED coding and a 144 APA102 LED strip with a bunch of 3D printed parts.
