Happy Chanukah!

[BenF]

Giant Chanukah Menorah and two "spinning" Dreidels made from 3,500 Neopixels powered by Teensy and Octo and a whole lot of power, full display is 18' wide, and animates lighting sequences!

Awesome.

Is there any more info about how it was made? Any change for another photo (maybe daytime or early evening) showing the scale?

 

[BenF]

Yep, I tried to shoot better pics and video but we have 40MPH winds outside. I'll get better video and add a "how it works" section.

In which camp are you? 8 the first day or last day?

Nice project, waiting for the video.

I'm all for 8 the last day. Very interesting, Ben. Where is this from?
