some of you might be interested in this, don’t think i’ve seen screens laid out with an offset before (i think it looks cooler!) or mapping stuff done elsewhere.

That’s an interesting concept I could think of a few places in a car to put screens and have them work off each other like that thanks for sharing
@Pete_Brittain please elaborate on the setup if this is your work! It looks great! I have so many questions…
Looks great. I am always curious about the 1. what controller and 2. what software to create the patterns. The biggest problem I seem to be running into with all of my projects is finding reliable software to generate patterns as I develop my led projects.
hmm, i seem to have had to rejoin to post as devicer, how annoying -my google accounts have gone a bit schizophrenic! This is using a teensy 3.0, it also worked in early testing with a teensy 2.0 and no reason it wouldn’t work with an arduino as well i guess, at least as long as you keep the number of pixels low enough.
The software is all mine, wrote it slowly over the last couple of years. It consists of a mapping program and a main control program.
The mapping program uses a webcam to get the light positions and generate a file containing the addresses and positions of every light either one by one or using a handful of patterns to get them all in a few frames.
The main software is i guess kind of like a cheap madrix/glediator, both of which i didn’t know existed back when i started this but i had a lot of the audio reacting and processing code done already in other old projects making music visualisers. I still have dozens of features left to add and a lot of effects left to pop in. It’s all written in processing at the moment, i’ve been considering something else for speed but it seems to be ok on anything from a netbook up. solid 25fps, up to 60 or so for basic things. As well as the audio visualizers it can load and play movies, live webcam input, scroll images or text, and a screen-grab mode so you can run any other visual software you like and feed it through the lights. with all those then you can put on just about anything you like with minimal effort.
Madrix and a few other programs do different offsets
