I made a knob-controlled LED matrix that runs my own generative patterns
I've been running a generative art project called Pattern Flow for a few months — visuals built from sine waves and sampling. Wanted a physical version you could actually play with, so I spent the last two weeks figuring out hardware for the first time.
4 potentiometers, a 64x64 LED matrix, an ESP32, and a 3D-printed case I reprinted way too many times. Everything is hand-soldered right now. Killed one potentiometer along the way, which I'm told is hard to do.
Two clips: the first one is the original version (power bank visible in the dock on the back). The second is a revised case where the battery is hidden. Still deciding which direction I prefer — honestly leaning toward keeping it visible.
Next step is getting off the breadboard and designing a proper PCB.
