AGBarber's LED Desk Toys: Sphere & Icosahedron Light Up GitHub

AGBarber, a skilled developer, has created a captivating desk toy inspired by the Las Vegas Sphere. The toy, measuring 98 mm in diameter, features 120 individual RGB LEDs wrapped in a 3D printed housing made from transparent filament.

The desk toy's sphere is controlled by an ESP8266 microcontroller in the form of a Wemos D1 Mini. AGBarber has employed the AGBarber's Pixel Spork library to manage the lighting effects, ensuring a richly-saturated display with minimal hotspots.

AGBarber's creativity doesn't stop at this 120-LED toy. They have also designed an icosahedron desk toy boasting an impressive 2,400 LEDs. The files for both these innovative projects are available on GitHub for enthusiasts to explore and build upon.

AGBarber's desk toys, with their intricate LED displays and innovative designs, showcase the developer's ability to blend technology and art. The transparent filament housing and clever use of libraries like Pixel Spork result in visually stunning and immersive desk ornaments.
