A project I recently completed using FastLED at Rockefeller Center in NYC. The client, a major chocolate brand, wanted a tree that could change color in response to Twitter messages.

The backend was developed in Python. When it’s time to change color, the backend sends a char with the color command over the serial port to the Arduino. A Due clone was used because of the need for parallelism.

Here is the Arduino Due code. Forgive the hacky nature of the code: https://gist.github.com/yeutterg/2909ab05c726c4f8a4ab3f417c720d17

Not sure why, but no matter how I try to view this video, I can’t. Is there any alternative link? Sounds amazing, though.
