Challenged by @marmil , I added a new pattern to Aurora using FastLED’s beatsin8 function (I also created a ‘companion’ beatcos8 function). Inspired by Whitney Incremental Drift - 48 dots by Jim Bumgardner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuQJN6fTUW0

Nice! I was wondering how well this pattern could work on a square LED matrix. 32x32 seems to work just fine!

Now that was some quick work! Looks great, could you take advantage of the blur() functions with FastLED and get globs that move like this?

Thanks! All of the hard work was done by Daniel, Mark, and Louis. They make this stuff easy. :slight_smile: I’ll try blur to make the dots bigger. I’m already playing with dimming by varying amounts to leave motion blur trails. I’ll upload more video later.

Jim is providing more fun for you @Jason_Coon .

Just cause I just noticed this and I’m curious, the original video has the inner dots moving the fastest while the outside dots barely move. Are you able to recreate that too?

Ah, yes, good eye Jon. I’m able to recreate that by just inverting the bpm (highest to lowest, from inside to out). I’ll try to upload the source and more video later. Thanks!
