Hi all - I also posted this on the LEDs are awesome page - but I thought it would be cool here as well. This is a geodesic sphere with 192 pyramid shapes held together with dovetails. I’m trying to figure out a signal issue running a Teensy with 12 FastLED lines in parallel. It has led me to finally buy an oscilloscope so I can stop guessing. While I’m doing that - I’ve been playing with PixelBlaze in earnest for the first time. Here are some animations. The first one was written by me - the rest are all preexisting animations in the PixelBlaze library. Some are 3D and others are simple 1D chases that look good in 3D anyway.

Overlapping Waves

Oh, fantastic! I’m building something sorta similar, So this is really cool to see. Great Job!

Can you share your custom 3D pattern?
