So my first project with the Teensy is launching on Thursday 11/21, and anyone in the LA area is welcome to come out and see it. We're doing a promotional party for [redacted since video is posted], and featured on site will be a 1922 Checker Cab wired up with WS2811's dancing to music requested via Twitter. Will post vids/pics after the party.
The taxi will be at The Brig in Venice, 6pm on the 21st. Should be a fun time.

Technical details:
- 5 Teensy's running OctoWS2811 (Probably went a little overboard here, as I wanted the Teensy's as close to the strips as possible, so I'm not using OctoWS2811 to its fullest, but I'm sure PJRC doesn't mind )
- Ableton Live/Max4Live/Jitter handling the music playing & video generation. Wrote a serial external for Max that basically generates a bytestream formatted for OctoWS2811 from a jit.matrix, so any video can be piped in realtime to the Teensy's, with whatever fx/beat syncing is desired (Major props to nlecaude for the foundational work on this.)
- Custom OSX app to monitor Twitter, queue up the requested songs, and update a tv display showing the song queue, available songs, and currently playing song.
