I just finished the documentation of a little project I made for my wife with which I wanted to replace a real lava lamp with s.th. less dangerous and dirty (just imagine the mess if a real lava lamp falls to the ground and breaks...)
After some experiments, I decided to use an Espruino microcontroller to drive a 16x16 matrix of WS2812 LEDs.
You will find the complete write-up on GitHub, the project itself has also been mentioned on Thingiverse
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
