beautiful patterns. awesome.
I forget, is there an accelerometer in there? Do you change the frame rate dependent on how fast you’re spinning?
@Robert_Atkins There’s an LSM9DS0 in there, so accel, gyro, and mag. I’m only using the gyro to detect not spinning/spinning and switch from ambient to image modes.
Right now, the frame rate is fixed (3 ms per refresh), but it would be trivial to measure the spin speed and adjust the refresh rate. Whether it would look any good, as opposed to just refreshing as fast as possible, I don’t know. I’d like to try it, just to see if it’s possible to get images that are static in space, but I’m not sure my spinning is fast and regular enough for that to work visually.
Amazing work. And thanks for turning me onto the LSM9DS0. That’s a cool part.
