LEDs/lights - kresty - 02-21-2017
Obviously we can do whatever we want with the LEDs, but I was curious what the originals looked like. Staring at the Celebration London photos, I observed the following LED colors around the neck:
Front Center - Bluish - seems steady.
Left Center - Red (orange sometimes)? Seems to slowly blink (anyone know the rate?)
Rear - on left of the back side - Orangish (red?)
Right side - 2 leds on the left of the right side. Leftmost is red and blinks, other is green and steady?

I can make up an arduino controlled module for the LEDs if you'd like.
I'll post it in this thread.

Thanks for the offer, I don't have a problem with the electronics, I was just wondering what the "observed" behaviors for the "real" lights were? I have plenty of arduino's and neopixels to play with

Looks like I didn't get my latest nots to here.. I managed to see enough clips in video to see:
Front - Center - Solid Blue (RGB Blue)
Left side - Center - Red, blinks on/off @ 2 hz - (1/4 second off, 1/4 second on)
Rear - It's to the left side - Binks red @ 2hz
Right side - Two LEDs toward the left, outermost one is Red, Green is closer to the middle. Counts down in Binary if Green on is 2 and Red on is 1, about 250ms per digit. Seems to be slightly out-of-sync with the left/rear LEDs.

Code I used
// We're updating 4x/second
void updateLEDs()
{
// Our things happen 4x/second
int time = (millis() % 1000) / 250;
// Right side counts down from 3 in binary
// Right Red is 2's on time 0 & 1
leds[LED_RIGHT_A].r = 0;
leds[LED_RIGHT_A].g = 0;
leds[LED_RIGHT_A].b = 0;
if (time < 2)
{
leds[LED_RIGHT_A].r = 255;
}
// Right Green is 1's on time 0 & 2
leds[LED_RIGHT_B].r = 0;
leds[LED_RIGHT_B].g = 0;
leds[LED_RIGHT_B].b = 0;
if (time == 0 || time == 2)
{
leds[LED_RIGHT_B].g = 255;
}
// Left & rear LED blinks red about 2hz, but slightly off of right side?
time = (millis() % 510) / 255;
leds[LED_REAR].r = 0;
leds[LED_REAR].g = 0;
leds[LED_REAR].b = 0;
leds[LED_LEFT].r = 0;
leds[LED_LEFT].g = 0;
leds[LED_LEFT].b = 0;
if (time == 0)
{
leds[LED_REAR].r = 255;
leds[LED_LEFT].r = 255;
}
// Front is Blue
leds[LED_FRONT].r = 0;
leds[LED_FRONT].g = 0;
leds[LED_FRONT].b = 255;
// Show our updates
FastLED.show();
}
