Infinity mirror
« on: January 25, 2015, 03:58:02 AM »
Decided to knock up an infinity mirror.
1m x 0.3m.
Just need a simple controller. Suggestions anyone? Maybe a Raspberry Pi? I might make several more and sequence them together depends on the second hand supply. ;)

i've been looking at doing the same thing...

i have 5v WS2812 flex strips I'd play to use... I'll use a Pi with a USB/RS485 dongle and uSC to drive the strip and wifi to update sequences and manage the Pi...  a single 5v power supply can drive everything.

Soon, the Captain should have the ability for the Pi to directly control the strip, so the uSC and USB dongle will not be required.

I have today ordered 2 pi's. I will stay glued to what the captain is producing so i can get them sorted. in the mean time i have some Dumb RGB with remote controllers also coming for more options.
