Nice work! I've done a few LED thingies too .. https://magicshifter.net/ https://magicshifter.net/ .. and, I recycled some old scoreboard display panels to make something similar to your latest project, also: About the panels: https://metalab.at/wiki/Blinkofant/LED-Display_History https://metalab.at/wiki/Blinkofant/LED-Display_History The Blinkophant: https://i.imgur.com/3aPytEp.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/3aPytEp.jpeg

This is great! Your TLS cert is invalid, though, so the site doesn't load properly, I think.

  Yeah, expired a while ago, its a pretty old site and we have to get the old gang back together to fix it. Thanks for checking out the magicShifter3000! I've got a new one designed, currently in prototyping stages .. a bit more powerful and a lot more oriented towards audio/synthesis. Same form-factor, and probably MS3000 and midiShifter will have an ecosystem ..

    If you have the site on GitHub, you can deploy it to Cloudflare Pages with a few clicks, and it will take care of all of that stuff for you. Also, a few friends and I have a maker Discord server and you'd fit right in, I can send an invitation if you like! My email is in my profile.

      Server: not my department. :) But yeah, we'll probably reboot magicShifter soon ..

Where did you get the scoreboards? eBay?

  Donated to metalab through a member connection. Austria/Vienna has a bit of a 'recycle/re-use/repurpose' scene, and this was an early example of a metalab win: https://metalab.at/ https://metalab.at/ We devoured the panels and did all kinds of funky things with them. https://metalab.at/wiki/Blinkofant/LED-Display_History https://metalab.at/wiki/Blinkofant/LED-Display_History

I made something close to MagicShifter a while ago, I didn't add an accelerometer, though: https://www.stavros.io/posts/behold-ledonardo/ https://www.stavros.io/posts/behold-ledonardo/ I would really like to make it work with an accelerometer, as right now it's a bit fiddly to get the right speed for images, but I don't know if I can make it work.

  Not just accelerometer, but magnetometer too. :) This means you can basically use the magicshifter3000 as a knob. Or, a slider. Its very fun with MIDI. :)

    Oooh fantastic! That's the kind of thing I really like to see.

        Haha, amazing! Is it based on the accelerometer, or do you have a microphone connected somehow? I can't tell whether you're tapping the desk they're on. Then again, the right ones light up more than the left ones, so I think you're tapping on the right edge of the desk. Very cool!

        The accelerometer and the desk, being tapped by me offscreen just to be sure things were responding .. alas, they are kind of hard to keep in one big pile, but yes very fun to play with en masse! :) (This was some years back, note.)
