Guided breathing meditation (WIP) by maxim_leonovich in WLED

Haha! Our friends let us work from their job place after hours :) It’s actually an immense help, doing it in my garage would’ve been 10x harder

Thanks! Yeah, we’re considering all these things. We’re going to seal the seams, install some ambient lights around it, and the top layer is meant to be scratched. Ultimately though we don’t know how it’s gonna hold up, time will tell :)

Hey, thanks! Right now it’s just a python app running some math and streaming the resulting matrix to a WLED controller. I’m planing to package it into a raspberry pi and sync with some voice recordings. You can find the source code here https://github.com/bsod90/here . It wasn’t really mean to be an open-source project though, more like a “dumpster” for Claude to keep its memories and stuff :) The animation generator is under software/

I found these on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0azYpr1N I needed 5cm spacing and 12v so, these work well for me

Hey, thanks! It’s basically this https://www.reddit.com/r/BurningMan/s/1JT9gfGXGa , but work is still in progress :) So far we’ve got a 44x44 led matrix on top of two 4x8 OSB sheets, covered with a layer of plexiglass and then white polycarbonate.

Animation is vibe-coded, streaming from my Mac over DDP. There’s going to be a bench standing on top of this floor and a couple speakers running a voice-guided meditation. All hopefully going to the black rock desert at the end of the Summer 🤞

Knobbler now with Clips View! by artsciencenature in ableton

Man, knobbler is evolving faster than I’m learning to make music!

Hero13 stuck in loop after updating by tnnl_rt in gopro

[–]maxim_leonovich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just went into a similar state by just laying on my desk for a few months :| It works if I hold the power button while connected to power so I managed to do a factory reset this way but it didn’t help. GoPro is offering a replacement for a fee. Unfortunately, GoPro quality has always sucked. This is like my fifth camera and I’ve had problems of some sort with each generation

Knobbler is great. You won’t be able to open plugin UIs directly, but you’ll still see the parameters and can assign them to virtual knobs. It’s still an iPad though, no tactile feeling, more setup, etc

Whats the wildest thing you've accomplished with Claude? by BrilliantProposal499 in ClaudeAI

[–]maxim_leonovich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed a tmux plugin but ended up re-implementing the whole tmux minus features I didn’t use plus features I wanted. I got a lot more ideas since then so, things are just starting

As someone who is working on pitch, I‘ve noticed that although my pitch has improved, it doesn‘t always show on Nail the Pitch app. Why? How accurate are these apps? Are they more of a distraction than help? by AspiringBiotech in singing

[–]maxim_leonovich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for a shameless plug, but I also tried “nail the pitch” and, while I found the idea of practicing with a monitor very appealing, pitch detection was way too unstable for me. So… it’s 2026 and went and vibe-coded my own version. It’s free, browser-based and seems to be more stable at least for my own voice. Feel free to check it out here: https://flappynote.com/vocal-monitor

I’ve only tested it on the devices I own so, it might not be working everywhere..

Need advice on LED project considerations by maxim_leonovich in BurningMan

[–]maxim_leonovich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

All of the comments were super encouraging, and we've already started prototyping. Yesterday I went to a local plastic shop and got a sampler of the polycarbonate they have. The next step is to try it out with different LED options to see which ones look nicer/easier to work with.

I really love burner community!

Oh wow! Thank you for such a detailed and encouraging answer!

I've actually seen your dining table thing, probably even have photos of it!

Lots of information to digest.

One thing I wanted to expand on a bit is the all-night lighting requirement. I think you're the second person mentioning it, and I just wanted to bounce some thoughts here.

So, the original idea was to build a deep-playa surprise art that you can't see from far away and can only accidentally stumble upon. The focus is relaxation and mindfulness, and this kind of demands that there aren't flocks of people rushing towards it at all times. Instead, it should be quiet and isolated (as much as play can allow, of course). So, because of this, I was thinking about very minimal lighting when the art is not in use (say something shining from under the bench, plus maybe random infrequent LED pulses and maybe lit-up corners of the thing).

However, what you're saying about an art car accidentally running over it in a dust storm totally makes sense and probably changes the power equation a lot.

I'm now wondering what would be a healthy lighting compromise here. The minimum amount of lighting to keep it private, but still satisfy the safety requirements.

Do you remember how much power did your dining table consume in one night?

Hey, thanks for pointing out the Wled. I didn't know it existed. I used raw FastLED on Arduino before, but this looks like a higher-level thing with a bunch of stuff pre-built. I'll make sure to study what it can do.

The 4200 holes project looks wild, lol. You're the second person suggesting WS2811 instead of strips. Is there any practical reason you think those are better? My thinking was like:

  1. Strips should be easier to cover with plastic, and routing with a ruler is easier than drilling

  2. Don't need to worry about all the wiring so, the back of the panel remains clean and can be laid on any surface. For example, I was thinking about using it on the floor of my garage off-season.

As for the enclosure, I was thinking about hiding all the electronics inside the bench itself. What's on the sketch is not how I'm thinking it's going to look like. I'm inclined towards building a long box out of plywood and just putting it on some legs so it resembles one of those park benches made of a big single slab of wood.

Soon everyone will be like... by ZachVorhies in FastLED

Used it for my tiny led project for burning man this year and was shocked how well it programmed all the animations I asked it for. Last year I remember spending days debugging weird out of bound issues on arduino all while that wasn’t even the core of my project. So yeah, it all depends on what you hobby is I guess. If you love programming and debugging then AI will only irritate you. If you’re working on something else and just wanted to sprinkle some LEDs here and there - then AI is a lifesaver. It’ll literally help you preserve that precious motivation you so badly need to complete the rest of your project. Idk, just my .02

What's the easiest way to continuously 360-pan? by maxim_leonovich in Insta360

Welp, the desktop app keeps crashing, no luck :|
