HypnoLight features:

  • 50 three-color RGB LEDs that can each display 16 million colors.
  • 30+ basic visualizations.
  • 3+ transition effects.
  • 19 Themes including
    • Default: shows visualizations in the default color schemes for each
    • Seven holidays: Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Fourth of July, Easter, St. Patrick’s Day, and Valentine’s Day.
    • Eight colors: Red, Magenta, Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow, Purple, Orange.
    • Slow mode plays the Default theme, but at half speed.
    • Night Light: plays dim and slow for night use.
    • Hue Cycle: the string light is a solid hue, slowly changing, for environment lighting.
  • Each visualization tiles end to end, allowing seamless looping of one or more HypnoLights.
  • Each HypnoLight re-synchronizes on power cycle, so multiple ones stay synced (up to engineering tolerances).
  • Runs on PIC32 microcontroller, which runs at 48MHz with 128K ROM and 32K RAM. We’ve packed it to the gills and running it fully maxed.
  • Variable speed randomly smoothed along random paths.
  • Dynamic palette morphing for smooth color effects.
  • Arbitrary symmetry and affine transform mappings performed dynamically.
  • Color, timing, symmetry, and transition randomization for creating unique visualizations on the fly.
  • Created with 20,000 lines of C code, and several hundred of assembler.
  • Uses a custom fixed-point graphics engine for image generation, along with numerous hand crafted sprites and animations.
