Visualizing Music With FFT

The following videos are displaying patterns generated by a Processing program doing real-time FFT (Fast Fourier transform). Basically it is visualizing music in the frequency domain using a polar-coordinate particle system.

NeoPixel 16 Ring Fun

NeoPixels are fun and amazing. In my project I connected 4 of the AdaFruit NeoPixel – 16 RGBW Leds together. What caught my attention and curiosity was that you can control each of these RGBW Leds using just one wire.This feat is accomplished with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the protocol
