RC sound reactive lightning cloud. 100 ws2812b LEDS on two Funduinos. OK for a first go at this I think.

The fun starts at about :50.
Very nice. What was the reasoning for using two boards?
What is the cloud made out of?
Its basically this design:
With some tweaks to the coding.
That has a very cool look. How many pixels?
edit: nevermind, 100 you noted.
@Brian_Lewis From that link, about having two boards: “The second is necessary for remote control, while the first controls the main logic and LEDs.”
Looks great! I’ve thought about building one, but I’ve always wondered if they collect dust and are hard to clean?
Thanks, I think that I may actually have to build one of these 
I also like the twin arduino idea, I’m going to try it out with my miupanel wifi module and see if it helps with reaction times.
@Jason_Coon I guess it will over time but its easy to strip off the “cloud” material and replace it for a few quid periodically if you wanted to.
I liked the led matrix “torch” you made. My next project will be something quite similar.
Great diffusion!
