I just finished writing an Instructable on how to make a WS2812 ring reactive table. Check it out:

(I entered the Microcontroller contest, too)

Awesome work! And this thing is even better in person — I’ve seen it. Great instructable, @Sam_Guyer ! Thank you!

I just ordered some stuff… ;o) got to explain that my wife again.

Thanks all! I also put the code on GitHub. I used a programming technique called “mixins” to create a composible system of patterns. Folks here might find it interesting. A mixin is a template class whose superclass is the type parameter, allowing you to stack together a bunch of functionality in a template instantiation. The cool part is that it all gets compiled away, resulting in pretty efficient code.

@Jason_Coon Wow, they had contacted me last week, but I hadn’t seen the blog writeup. Thanks!

Absolutely stunning! Your code is beautiful too. I tend to find that a lot of Arduino code people put together has little thought for structure or formatting, so your code was quite refreshing to read.

@Chris_Parton Thank you! There is really no higher compliment than someone saying that your code is beautiful!
