This is a string of 300 RGB LEDs driven by a custom RP2040 board running a real-time ember simulation. Not a looping animation or a flickering light on a timer, but an actual physics-inspired simulation where each LED has its own temperature, flares up independently, shares heat with its neighbours, and slowly cools back down. The result is an organic, never-repeating glow that looks surprisingly convincing piled up in an unused fireplace, draped in a jar, or arranged however you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI originally built this for my own living room after getting rid of the unconvincing electric heater that came with our blocked-up fireplace.
