4200 leds, 18 esp8266 controllers syncing to each other, lots of noise, wifi interference based motion/presence detection:

Absolutely freaking awesome.
Looks SO good!

Wait, you used wifi interference as people detection? That is cool!

@Kelvin_Mead yup! Human bodies block wifi, which causes the RSSI to drop noticeably. :slight_smile:

Yep! We explored this first at FIGMENT Alpha in Maryland this past April… and it worked!

Dan’s taken it all to the next level here though… Of course!!

oh man. inspirational work here!

CLAP CLAP CLAP! awesome!

Beautiful display! What a great form of interaction.

I want to be there. If this was in my field of view I would walk towards it and sit inside.

I’m curious about the drawing routine now. It kind of looks like you have a buffer of {S=0x00, V=0xff) and combine that with some pulses which subtract from Val and others which add to Sat. Am I close?

Not even remotely close :slight_smile:

Is ESP sketch open source , I’d like to see how those modules syncs

The sketches as used here won’t be - but the sync/configuration/management code will be eventually once I get it a bit more cleaned up

WOW that is really awesome. I like the animations.
I’m also interested in some details of how to sync the ESP modules…

Wow, I want to learn how to do it.

Very innovative! I am not sure if the video is showing how the piece reacts to the presence of people inside the installation though, are animations triggered or specific variables in the animations?

Mericana sales9@uniqueentech.com Let me know when you need LED strips

That is wicked awesome! Using wifi interference?! Pure genius!

@Daniel_Garcia ​ did you ever release the code for detecting wifi movement? Would like to see how it fairs on my Pendulums.
