Overview Geometric Lotus - Originally designed and built by Ian Keller for his senior design project. Donated to the KOI Buners of Cincinnati, Ohio after Scorched Nuts 2011 (Ohio's official Burning Man regional.) This video is after it was reprogrammed from Ian's senior thesis code (colors analogous to the BP logo) to the original "Full Rainbow" code. Effectively, I am it's caretaker. The only improvements I've made to the hardware were some mounting arms on the back so we could wall mount it, and some hot glue to keep the wires secured to the Arduinos. Background Arduino Powered: 1x Arduino Due, 1x Arduino Duelminalove provided to replace Ian's by a KOI Pound member. The project has two brains because Ian uses the hardware PWM channels (6 each, 12 total) to drive two rings of common cathode RGB LEDs mounted on the back of the lotus structure. Each arduino has slightly different code that starts the RGB fade in a different spot in the sequence, such that the flower pushes color from inner most LED ring to outermost.
I love this video from the Bloody Masquerade party that was thrown but my burner 2nd family friends at the KOI pound! At the 35 second mark you can see my silly self working door! I have said it before and I will say it again. Burners party harder.
Hooping tonight!
Vannie invited me to a spin jam at the KOI Pound. I have been the laziest hooper this winter and then just been so busy spending time with Dillon and everyone I totally got away from it. I'm hoping this will distract me and perk me right up, PLUS I get to see my burner family and I always get inspired around them.
I've been keeping busy since Dillon is gone just hanging with people and trying to make the time pass as fast as possible. As his friend CJ and I talked about everyone is acting like He died or something and not like he's just going to be gone two month which actually was a really good realization for me and I think I feel a lot better.
I still cannot wait to get that first letter.

Ah this was an amazing night! These are the people I burned with a few weeks ago, the KOI Pound (Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana) is an amazing group of burners and artists that live in downtown Cincinnati. Everyone is just so talented it blows my mind.
