The concept was to cover a ball with over 300 LEDs, add a camera and microphone, and enable it to change colors like a chameleon based on its surroundings. This turned out to be an incredibly fun yet time-consuming project, especially since I underestimated the time required for soldering all the LEDs, I spend hours on this haha.
I've programmed all sorts of effects right now (rainbow, random lights, sound reaction). It's all done with Python on a Raspberry Pi (version 3 in this case).
I made everything open source; designs are here: Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6514809) and the code can be found here: GitHub (https://github.com/Timvdv/discoball).
Promoting these things is not really my forte, so if you want something else, more info, or more pictures, just let me know!
Read it as "doorbell" rather than "discoball." Think it works both ways ;-)
