LEDs/lights

[kresty]

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();
