Hey everyone, first project that reached a music festival, featuring a geometric steel structure with led tubes attached to it.
The entire thing was pixel mapped using a 3d model of the arch and Touch designer and a Brix mini computer for size in a 3d printed enclosure that repelled rain and unwanted elements while allowing plenty of airflow.
The minicomputer used serial/usb to communicate with a teensy 3.1 which acted as a buffer between touch designer and the led's and used the octows2811 library and adapter board as well.
I put this together in 8 days and setup the computer to start when it received ac power for a fully automated, animation cycling, install that required no user input through its use.
Check out this short but high quality video of the arch in action:

and this one featuring more of a breakdown of the process of building it:

also - the hat in the background of the last image is an earlier project of mine that uses the the teensy 3.1 and the octo library as well - more here:
