Hi,
Glad I found this forum. I am going to be building a project for an upcoming festival and I would like to get a bit of hardware advice.
The Project: AromaDome
A 16' (foot) diameter smelly light and sound spectacular! A geodesic dome constructed from EMT pipe will be fitted with a semi-opaque fabric covering that will function as a screen for light to wash across. Each strut will have individually addressable LED's along their length. These will will have different animations programmed into it that will be timed to music. Speakers will be mounted inside the structure creating a soundscape for those inside. Fragrances will be released through atomization of essential oils to complete the experience.
The Sketch
My Calculations
I am planning on covering everything but the base, and it comes out to be about 5000leds.
What I need
Curious as to what hardware controllers I should use. I would like to be able to inject images into a program, and also be able to control individual sets of geometry (struts, triangles, pentagons, the full sphere). I likely will be controlling the fragrances manually. Audio integration will would be nice.
I appreciate whatever direction you can give. Let me know if you need any clarification or refinement on details.
