Not CNC related, but wanted to share something I'm working on for fun. It's just a little 3D printed crystal cluster with addressable LEDs and a Particle Photon for the brain. It can be told (via Alexa) to do different things such as the color fading in the video, set to certain colors or brightness.
It also notifies me when conditions are met. If I get a Facebook message, it'll flash blue. If the forecast calls for rain, it'll fade through blues and whites to give a water shimmering effect (In theory. I'm in Texas, so that's a rare occurrence), or do a similar pattern with reds and oranges to simulate fire when the forecast calls for 90+ degrees that day. I'm still considering other additions for functionality, as my plan is to install these lights in a large two-tier recessed ceiling at my in-laws' house for a much more dramatic effect.
It's running off of custom code on Particle and using IFTTT to call the functions.
Here's it printed:
Here's the guts:
And here's a video of it cycling colors:
