Magic LEDs: Self-Organizing with ESP32 CAM & Simple Image Processing!

I had a big bundle of WS2811 addressable RGB LEDs. I wanted to see if I could use my ESP32 CAM board to do some simple image processing to bring some order to the LEDs. It works surprisingly well for simple geometric patterns. With more LEDs, I think you could probably get to the point where you could show text and maybe even videos. All the code is on GitHub - would love to know what you think and if you've got some LEDs lying around try out the code and see how it works for you. https://github.com/atomic14/self-organising-leds You could probably easily modify the code to use a simple web camera and move the image processing to the Javascript side of things. This would let you use a standard ESP32 board for controlling the LEDs.
