Hi, I am new to this community. I am wondering if anybody here can point me to some really influential work; a sort of art history of the addressable LED?
Personally I love subtle movement such as FireFade however also have uses for blinky, cross palette, and chase type patterns. I am just so curious about what else is out there. Thanks!
