I worked with Wizard23 to produce something similar, called the MagicShifter: http://magicshifter.net/ http://magicshifter.net/ Its an open source, portable battery powered pocketable light synthesiser with multiple built-in programs for doing a variety of different things - from Persistence of Vision effects (very popular), to accelerometer-based level meters, vibration visualisers, and disco/strobe effects. I added MIDI to it - meaning the whole thing can be sync'ed over rtpMIDI (MIDI over Wifi is awesome and supported out of the box by most operating systems), and I also built an Arpeggiator for it too - meaning you can have your dancers wired up with shifters on their bodies, an Arpeggiator on stage with you on your synth stacks, and MagicShifters all over the place synchronised to your drum machine. ;) We (Phillip, the hardware inventor, and myself the software guy) also designed the latest-gen MS3000 PCB to be easily useful for longer LED strip experiments, and included both 5v and 3.3v onboard, with a UART breakout, for extra hacking purposes - wire it up to a console and use it as a build indicator, or just use plain old Wifi too. We have a light strip with 200 LED's wired up to a single MagicShifter and used it to create a wall clock. Pins for wiring up longer strips are exposed on one end of the board, and you can solder the strips directly without requiring further driver hardware - just change the constants in the MS3KOS to tell it how many LED's you're driving .. EDIT: Have a look at the PCB here: https://magicshifter.github.io/magicshifter.net/img/new/ms3000-pcb-and-assembled.jpg https://magicshifter.github.io/magicshifter.net/img/new/ms30... You can see the UART breakout as well as the 4 contact points for longer LED strips... It includes a REST-based interface for changing the LED effects modes, as well as presenting a web-based Pixel Editor to create your own POV images.
