Impressive! You should enter it into the Nuts& Volts LED Madness contest. You can enter on they're facebook or check out they're site and you'll see a banner at the bottom that you can enter through. You might win something just for uploading a video of an LED project you made yourself! Hurry though submissions finish on Sunday!
@jaysenstudios There is an 8 limit for daisy chain. You could drive several 8 rows, using an Arduino with more ports, or use several Arduinos and synchronize them. The problem is budget: would cost about USD$4k!
@SenseiTG VERY nice! I was hoping to get a bigger display like yours, but it is either very expensive or very time demanding to build. Congratulations!
@neofpo Or both ;) Mine cost me 5 months of spare time and €1000+ to build. The only good option is to find surplus finished panels i guess, but then it's not a DIY project anymore - which is (for me) the fun part. Tell me about your fire algorithm? I am wondering if it is similar to mine.
@SenseiTG@SenseiTG It is the same principle as everyone else does: start with some hot spots at the bottom, and line by line, for each pixel, calculate its value by averaging the surroundings. This makes the fire go up. My previous attempt failed because the hot spots at the base were very steady. I later multiplied the whole bottom line by a random variable to force the flames movements, giving a more organic feel. The hard part was to tune the parameters (specially the color palette).
@neofpo I see. Yeah that was the hard part for me as well. I was asking because I like details :) As for me I'm averaging a T shape of four pixels below the destination then fading it by subtracting a constant from the results. At first I used an average of three pixels on the row below, dividing by 4 to fade. Was not very pretty at all. Havn't done fire effects since the 386 days so I had a little trouble remembering :P
let's play mario!

Do you think its possible to use 50 or so of these 8X8 boards to make a wall of fire!

@neofpo Ohh, so maybe i wont be having my dream of a wall of LEDs and time soon XD

@neofpo you say that you can daisy chain 8 of these together? can this then be used for a 8x8x8x cube?

@billynightmare if you are willing to pay $60*8 for it. then yes.

Warming up by the fire :) Did a similar thing on my panel, check it out if you like
