Sometimes I need to step away from the managy part of the library and actually make something. This was today’s make a thing.

That looks awesome! Do you just have the strips rolled up, or are they actually attached flat against the material?

Rolled up - I’ve been doing a lot of playing with pointing the LEDs anywhere but out and letting light/shadow/reflection/diffusion take over. I kind of have a thing against visible pixels in my own stuff.

Of course, I forgot to take photos before I sealed the thing up.

LOL. I do that all the time.

Dan, I just really like the swirly stuff you do like this. The hw design and sw you write and run on it are just great. Interesting, innovative, and great looking. Just figured I’d say so out loud.

Dan, this way of working with the strips looks great; it gives an organic, analogue feel that just couldn’t be achieved with a grid of LEDs lined up regimentally.
