This is cool project, the effects look great! makes me think of 'Ruiner' computer game, the main character had an animated mask set in a cyberpunk world. Great work enjoyed the article :)
Fun! It's amazing how ubiquitous WS2812Bs have become in such a short time. They're wonderful for everything from wearables to signage to room lighting, and there are 12V versions available if you want to drive longer strings. Some advice for people seeing this article in 2020: you might consider using a more modern microcontroller which supports DMA for new projects today. The ATMega328p which is used in Arduino Uno…
Thank you for this post! When I started, I didn't realize how low powered these nanos are. I spent forever getting the variables under 1.1kb but I just discovered the teensy 4.0 that supports 1000x as much memory and 30x the processor speed. I am still glad I started with the nano because it got me to refactor my code and make it memory efficient.

Im building a setup now. Any tips on libraries for esp8266 to control the maximum number of leds via i2s DMA?

This page seems to have more information about a couple of different methods - apparently it's also possible to use a UART peripheral:

Teensy line, especially the Teensy 4. Amazing power in that thing, and cheap.
