Hello,
First of all I wana say awesome project and a even better explenation!
Thanks a lot form the hole community : ).
I will be making my own in a few weeks when the parts arrive, I will use a series of led instead of the led strip but still same led type. I am new to python but a advanced programmer in java so don't think this will be a problem I checked the code and for the most part I understand what everything does.
I would like to make my own effect to the program and site (like an idle clock "off" screen with just 1 ball bouncing around like in old windows screensaver).
I don"t realy now here I should start or where I should write my code in the first place, do you have any tips or help, it would be very appreciated!

Thanks for alll you work and passion so far,
Stef De Vos (Student University Leuven Belgium)

Enjoy this amazing project. For the moment i have a mistake. 1/3 if part left if the led are working. Nothing for the other. Maybee a hardware problem.. i'm interested to see your modification too. Jonathan from belgium too ;)

Sounds great! Creating another animation on the screen would be a worthy python task but shouldn't require too much coding. Those are actually some of my favorite things to do on this project. However, changing the GUI to be able to control the new animation, is a different beast.

@dcjona that does sound like a hardware issue, or possibly you may have tinkered with the code enough to change its behavior? Maybe a fresh install to verify that it is working as expected would be good. Make sure you save your LED configuration for the fresh install, of course.
