Full Ragyo reveal! 😍 This is NOT my typical costume, but I couldn't resist the siren call of making a wig with animated LEDs. I ended out making it in just 4 days! The animations are powered by a @ledmage Pixelblaze Pico, & it connects to a battery pack in the dress!

The @ledmage PixelBlaze is an #ESP32 based LED driverboard with a fantastic web #GUI, #livecoding compatibility, and a low barrier of complexity. We chatted with Claire from ElectroMage about PixelBlaze and their new solderless version! electromaker.io/blog/article…

Having your own name in lights really IS the coolest thing. 🤩 I'm thrilled to be able to share that my PCB assembly attempt was successful!! The whole thing lights up and looks SO COOL. And if you're wondering about the MCU, there's an @ledmage Pixelblaze Pico on the back!

It was an honor to work with the super talented @shellytruedance and team! Happy #InternationalChoreographersDay !
🎥 Christmas Eve Halftime Show Highlights To honor #InternationalChoreographersDay, we’d like to take a moment to celebrate our very own, @shellytruedance! 🤩 In 31 seasons, she has choreographed hundreds of routines, spent thousands of hours in rehearsal, and most recently, created the BEST halftime show ever to hit an @nfl field. Thank you for sharing your talents with us… we couldn’t be more grateful for you! 💙🧡 Original 🎶: Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Okay, that halftime light show was probably the most incredible thing I’ve witnessed in person. That was insane! Well done @BroncosCheer & @Broncos – at Denver, CO

@ledmage Thanks for your amazing #pixelblaze platform - we hacked your awesome IDE in the browser console to allow GPT4 to autonomously create and iterate on patterns and won a prize for at a SF AI hackathon. Check it out! My DMs open!! Found you guys at TTITD :))

I love showing off what this prop can really do. 🤩 Not only does the Dynamax Ball light up, but it's a functional shoulder bag as well! The button releases the latching mechanism, allowing me to store stuff inside, like the Pokéball remote. 😉 Yes, I thought of everything! 😁

Going to TTITD and procrastinating on LEDs? Use code BMAN23 for free shipping in the US this week, will upgrade it to priority.

3D mapping means defining how your LEDs are arranged in space. Then you can flow anyone's 3D pattern code through it.

We all had the same problems: Wires getting yanked off between synchronized skydiving team costumes, or low framerates across 18 LED-encrusted garden gnomes... Pixelblaze now lets you run patterns (including audio-reactive ones) across many controllers! #GnomeMoreProblems 🙄😑
