My latest project: Fermat (Lux Phyllotaxis). It’s an 11 inch stainless steel hemisphere with 100 8mm WS2811 RGB LEDs, driven with an ESP8266, and controlled via a web app over Wi-Fi and/or IR remote control. The firmware is nearly identical to my last post on the ESP8266, but with Fibonacci layout mapping and patterns added.

Beautiful organic light sculpture.

Really mesmerizing. Is it the Fibonacci layout mapping that makes it feel so organic? I guess I need to study
Thanks! Yeah, definitely makes it more organic than geometric. Here’s a great video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOIP_Z_-0Hs

+1! Is stainless steel hemisphere code for mixing bowl?
@allanGEE you deciphered my attempt at making it sound more sophisticated than it really is!

It certainly doesn’t take away from it being an AMAZING project!

The reflective metal provides a cool look. Great piece Jason!
@Jason_Coon I love this video! I’ll have to play it for my kids the next time we get our favorite, Romanesco broccoli
@Charity_Stolarz Vi Hart has lots of great and educational videos. If you haven’t watched them all, I highly recommend it.
