Hexagon wall piece that visually interprets music

Nice! I love the way that you can increase the “reach” of the light into the hexagon by controlling brightness (either that, or it is major light bleed into the photo sensors of your camera 
I noticed that “reach” effect too and it’s definitely the LED brightness. Opens up a new world of possibilities…!
Really nice hardware build, great ideas in the software, and they come together reY well.
I like the “PULSE… fade…” element that recurs in a lot of ways, and I like how sometimes the software is very aware of its six-sided-ness, and sometimes it’s less tied to that structure.
What’s the hardware setup? Using an ATmega or ARM? Any audio input, or just awesome timing?
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!
The hardware is a 3-channel set of analog filters that trigger transistor/voltage circuits based on low/mid/hi frequency audio input. These inputs are read by an Arduino Nano and patterns are then triggered out to the lights., so it will display differently based on the music which is fun! The fade serves a double function of making it so that the lights aren’t flickering too quickly (seizures), and also utilizes a lot of the empty time that would be otherwise wasted. I’d be happy to write up a little example if there is enough interest…
The code was largely adapted from the “Web” I made previously and uses a 1D array to determine where each side starts and ends in this single strip of LEDs. This way the 6-sidedness you observed can be easily expanded to any number of segments with any number of LEDs
just awesome!
Awesome. I think I’m gonna built one myself. Do you use an audio input device for your arduino or is it microphone based?
AH well I can probably just use a shield with a throughput: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10306
