u/Fluffy-Wishbone-3497

I've been having fun with the FastLED fluid type stuff u/StefanPetrick and u/mindful_stone have been coding. It's fascinating that this little chip is handling such smooth motion and detail. A real fluidy simulation!

Anyways, you aim the nozzle and try to put out the fireball as fast as you can. The score comes up giving you how many seconds it took.

I built a nice enclosure for my teensy control box which has the potentiometers, switches and buttons so that it's pretty much a standalone matrix mixer type thing. I have it going through the different pattern sets and I'm trying to control as many variables as I can with 8 pots, 4 encoders, 4 buttons and 5 switches. The only thing in the game I'm doing is changing the angle with a potentiometer.

I don't know but using a knob and watching the reaction of the animation on the matrix is prety neat! You get visual feedback.

I've been messing around with some knobs, buttons and switches that allows me to make changes to the patterns parameters on a mixing type board. So far it's working really well. The teensy just sends a code to the esp32-p4 (over a wire) running the pattern and sending it to the matrix. The whole thing can be controlled without a computer interface. Very fun! It's hard to get anything done because I keep playing with these Fantastic new patterns by u/StefanPetrick.

The controller is rough right now but it controls things like pattern, flow, emitter, etc switching. Discretes. Then I have a bunch of potentiometers to make those other adjustments like persistence, brightness, speed etc. Then a bunch of switches to make adjustments like flipx or rainbow/spectrum whatever I want.

I just got some patterns running from u/mindful_stone. I have no idea what the patterns do yet. I don't know how the knobs will make the animations change just yet. But I think I can make a nice looking board. It's really nice to be able to turn knobs and stuff happens.
