Contributions
- Built the lamp end to end: the circuitry and wiring, plus the ESP32 firmware that drives the 22-lamp, 66-pixel WS2812 panel. It was built with ESP-IDF framework which really made the test iterations faster due to its inherently faster compiler.
- Made the panel self-contained: it runs its own Wi-Fi access point and serves the control page itself and any phone can control it, with no app, router or internet involved.
- Implemented the light itself: fade transitions, twinkle and chase animations with mathematical interpolations, per-lamp colours and names, the scheduled "light the rest" sequence, and persistence across power cuts.
- Designed the control page by hand and wrote the small build step that bakes it into the firmware as a C string.
