Datasheet

Try using more lights. One Fadecandy board can control up to 512 pixels, and you

can connect many Fadecandy boards to one computer using USB hubs.

Make your art portable with a Raspberry Pi or other single-board computer.

And of course, writing more visual effects.

There are also many different strategies for writing effects. This example covered using

Processing and mapping each LED to a pixel on the screen, but there are plenty of other

options. The Fadecandy project already has examples for browser-based

effects (http://adafru.it/cWg), Node.js (http://adafru.it/cWh), and Python (http://adafru.it/cWi),

and it's easy to add support for new languages.

What about pixel mapping? It works for some kinds of art, but other kinds of art may be

easier with a 3-dimensional mapping or something custom. Work is in progress to make

more kinds of LED mappings easy, and to support automatic mapping using computer

vision.
