I've made some progress
- Rewrote a part of the sequencer code:
- It now has proper precalculation of PWM values
- Added an extra effect.
- Found a previously unknown issue to put on a known issues list.
- Did some documenting:
- Commented new code
- Tidied up the schematics and PCB design in KiCad
- Made some fancy flowcharts
- Finally managed to convert my videos to fixed frame rate, and started editing in Blender.
- Made a selection of footage to show
- adding titles, wipes, and comments but need to work on the text timing a bit
- made a script to automate some laborious actions in the editing process, and of course this cost me more time then doing the stuff I wanted to do by hand, but the script will be useful in the future ;)
There are two more things to mention:
- I thought up some nice addition to the cube. I think it is possible to put the cube on a rotating platform and get some nice special effects with the existing ones. I won't do this yet, at the moment the video is on top of my list, and I sort of had plans for some other projects. But:
- An arts festival which is held in my neighbourhood placed an open call for artist, makers and the like to send in projects. I have never done this sort of thing thing before, but I decided to send a mail with a bit of video, to see if they think the cube is something to show at the festival. The theme is Amazement, so they might be interested. And this would of course be an excellent excuse to make a rotating platform
