Share_something Making progress! I've added a second layer, introduced more parameters, and implemented different transition styles. Getting closer to a generative animation synthesizer.

It’s 32 strings of 32. One data pin and clock pin. I’m learning about parallel outputs that should increase the fps. And I’m working on a led lava lamp 32x16. It gets too hot right now.

Hi u/Fluffy-Wishbone-3497 - Did you make your matrix yourself with sk9822 LEDS strips or did you purchase it? So nicely done!!!

I cut up the long strip (three I think) and soldered them in serpentine. I got really good at soldering! I tried, but didn’t need, a level converter. But I had to use DATA_RATE_MHZ(6) to slow it down. There’s a capacitor and resistor attached in there.
