I made this hyperboloid years ago when LED strings were only available with 10 cm spacing. The old LED string broke, so I restrung it with higher density pixels, and am playing with 3D patterns on the #pixelblaze controller.
Funk This! Now with #PixelBlaze frequency graph. Upgraded to #Adafruit Metro S3 and no more crashes reading directly from larger RAM vs intermittent crashes from SD cards. #CircuitPython gets down! Builds like this on my channel
Groove and hack on! https://youtube.com/shorts/AUMVj5I9mLs?si=sG3C9tEKsmdY-rWS

i didn't like how that was going, so i started over from scratch yesterday morning. not too shabby for about a 6 hour build.

@tmiller thanks! The #Pixelblaze Sensor Expansion Board by @wizard has a microphone, 3.5mm line-in jack, and a small MCU that handles sampling the input into a 32 frequency bin FFT that you can use in patterns. The javascript patterns can be written and edited live in a web app over wi-fi, hosted on the Pixelblaze's ESP32. It's brilliant in every way.

Sorry if you're tired of these, I'm having fun tweaking sound-reactive #PixelBlaze patterns. ๐Ÿ˜

@xabean ha, I'm so glad you noticed! I spent longer than I care to admit trying to get them perfectly aligned, although I don't think my camera was perfectly "trammed" to the surface.
The two are being driven by separate but synced #Pixelblaze, but the pattern with particles emitting from the center does use RNG which is apparently not synced.
Such fun giving a seminar on #PixelBlaze to the women of Boston College's Girls Who Code chapter. @wizard your gear continues to inspire & empower. Hack on!

The LED cube's base came out okay. The Pixelblaze fits snugly, and the back panel looks better than it needs to. The printer is still printing the rest of the parts.

All glory to @jasoncoon for designing and manufacturing the LED cube. I'm just designing a new enclosure for it.
