Hi all, I hope this is not off-topic. I wanted to announce a new open source tool I just developed:
LED Them Fight: https://github.com/mbevand/ledthemfight
The main reason I created it is that I wanted to make it dead simple to create custom effects rendered live and reliably. No streaming real-time pixel data over unreliable Wi-Fi. No downloading hundreds of megabytes of firmware development packages. No reflashing microcontrollers. No recompiling anything. Just type simple Python code which is instantly rendered on a locally-attached LED string. From a factory-reset Raspberry Pi it takes less than 60 seconds to install & configure LED Them Fight and code your first custom effect.
I'm looking for feedback and ideas. I'm using it right now on the fascia on my house to drive a WS2815 strip of 466 pixels. My family loves it
