This is an early binary release of my arduino FX engine stripped to allow realtime effects seen on my youtube videos. A more extensive version is to come soon but until then this will give a taste of the engine running limited up to 600 leds.
It requires an Arduino MEGA 2560 Rev 3 (ATmega2560), an SSD1306 0.96' I2C 128x32 OLED, three buttons to interface and 33ohm resistors for data protection.

Project FX (magic) is designed to be a simple stand alone self contained engine for running a christmas tree or trees with user editable presets. It is designed to run at a target of 20 frame per second tho this can be configured by presets.
It uses a stack engine (FX) to create complex effects that in next release will have Custom Mode and editor for creation of of effects by user and saved and reloaded allowing creation of many effects in real time as you edit. The presets already built in use this this stack to create effects and this will be built upon over time.
This uses a custom buffer, patch and output system and allows complex output configurations tho for this release it is currently configured as a single output for a stand alone tree use.

The source will become available once it has been documented and all goal features are ready and stable.
