Christmas Tree

[Pixmusix]

@Mark276201

You guys are the experts on this stuff.

I’ve never built a Giant Xmas Tree exactly like yours so I’m not an expert but…

1. I’d run at least 4 digital IO circuits from the micro-controller. One single IO circuit is possible but cumbersome and not without compromise.
2. If this is your first time doing procedural animations keep it simple. Pixels in a triangle can light up in unison. Perhaps each triangle has a dedicated colour. Maybe stick to red and green. It’s not the most out there animation but it’s still super effective. If you have time you can add detail.
3. Use built in functions provided by the neopixel library. Try not to reinvent the wheel (I am guilty of this).
4. Type “neopixel examples” into your search engine and read an article every so often. Someone has done this before and maybe there code is open source?

REMEMBER : BUILD THE MINIMUM VIABLE PRODUCT FIRST!

@Pixmusix

the simplest reduction of my idea that does not compromise the identity of the idea.

“If you could cut a feature and still technically submit your project it’s probably not part of your minimum viable product”

That’s my take.
