@macegr.bsky.social I still have your RGB Shades on my "wall of inspiration". It was one of the first things that inspired me to make my own PCBs.

Aw, thanks Garrett!

Sorry if you're tired of these, I'm having fun tweaking sound-reactive #PixelBlaze patterns. 😁

Hello friends, family, supporters, and maker community. I've had to make the difficult decision to shut down Alpenglow. The short story is that we aren't making enough continuous sales to cover our shop space and employee costs. More info: www.alpenglowindustries.com/blogs/all-bl...

Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

I switched from Audible to Libro a while back and I've had no regrets. They have an option to choose a local book store to support.

Photo of a matte black plastic disc with circles etched in a Fibonacci / Fermat spiral pattern. The circles are smaller in the center and gradually increase in size towards the edges.

The same matte black plastic disc, but with the LEDs behind each circle lit in a pink and yellow swirl pattern.

A screenshot of the 3D model of the circle grid that sits behind the matte black plastic diffuser.

Some photos of the Fibonacci256 Expanding HDR diffuser and grid with circles:

By request: Fibonacci256 Expanding HDR with circles instead of straight Voronoi grid lines. Both grids are 4mm thick with 1mm gap between the grid and LED PCB. Next I'll try both with thinner grids and larger gaps for a more diffused look.

Consider me thoroughly nerd-sniped. 😅
I'll know how it looks in about an hour.

"Dude" is @ancient.bsky.social, and his work blows my mind somewhat routinely. 😁

While sorting through some old junk I found the boxes to a few of my favorite Game Boy Advance games, including a receipt from 22 years ago. 😆

Oh hey, look what I just happened to find in the latest issue of Make magazine: an article by @samdiyfreeman.bsky.social featuring Fibonacci256 Expanding. 😁

Thank you! I'm so glad you're happy with it!

Fibonacci256 Expanding HDR is now available!
I'm experimenting with different Voronoi grids behind the black LED acrylic diffuser. I think I prefer the one on the right, since it allows more light to bleed onto the surrounding wall.
Which do you prefer?
