Carnival style LED control

[schlonzo]

hi all

I need a spreadable node to animate simple one-line led stripes.
length and orientation of the lines may vary, so it needs to be flexible.
I want start and quit animations for each line, different patterns and maybe even animations within those patterns.

so my first approach is very spread based. this looks like it was creaming for classes… was wondering if this might be something to do in vl?

any other input also appreciated!

from my own experience, i would go into the direction of textures and pipetting the values that you need. it would be very flexible, especially in terms of animations, but that probably comes down to how many leds you have to control, don’t know how quickly pipet becomes a serious bottleneck…
