SmartPoi, the Android WiFi controlled Persistence-Of-Vision LED equipment I use in my flashy light juggling shows every week.
When I bought my remote controlled juggling equipment I thought I had everything, then I found out about Pixel Poi(TM) - which at the time were unobtainable for the kind of budget I was on. I actaully cried. For real.
I knew I had to have them, so this set me on a 10 year journey over 5 prototypes (including an early one on stripboard with 120 hand soldered LED's!) where I taught myself to program, 3d CAD, design circuit boards - even did a full Stanford U course on networking. It gave me the skills to survive the pandemic financially by making a living doing remote coding jobs (I'm a professional juggler and magician).
The project lives on today in my show and in the future at http://magicpoi.circusscientist.com - where I am bulding it out to be a full platform for IOT flashy light equipment.

Video that made me cry -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWeUQowxVlM - the good stuff starts about halfway.
