We have achieved Ferris! Spent a few hours debugging what ultimately wasn't a code issue but a brown out...

@dngrs neeeeeat, I've wanted to do one of these for years. Looks great.

@cliffle thank you! I'm quite happy I got it to work, being entirely self taught when it comes to EE and mechanics… lots of improvements still to be made, mostly I should get a rotor PCB fabbed that has a higher LED density than a puny strip 🙃
WiFi controls & firmware update would also be nice... the pogo pin jig is testing my patience for sure

@dngrs @cliffle I don’t remember what language or software @ancientjames is using for his, but it’s amazing.
