Lava lamp replacement with Espruino and WS2812 LEDs

Posted on
  • 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

  • Looks awesome - thanks! Sorry I missed this at the time!

  • Don't worry - what's more important: my wife LOVES it!

    Nevertheless, I'm still waiting for compiler bug fixes in order to speed the animation up. It should become even more impressive afterwards!
