Amazing LED light cube!

For LED Cube 6x6x6

I went with the soldered + pixelplaze + enclosure and am extremely happy with with the LED cube. It looks great and the pixelblaze was incredibly smooth to set up and add to my wifi network via web browser and then easily access and control from a web browser. (It's hard to state how happy I am that there's no need to install an app!) I'm intrigued by the prospect of using the wifi to programmatically display data on the cube via WebSockets, but we'll see if I get to that.

The shipping packaging was fantastic. My mail carrier probably could have drop kicked the box from the curb to my house and I suspect the cube would have been fine. The cube was extensively wrapped in that origami-3d-esque cardboard paper stuff which seemed to provide a great level of shock absorption as well as providing a significant amount of space between the cube and the outer box. The box was also fully packed which helped ensure the structural stability of the box.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I really appreciate all of the feedback! I'm so glad your cube arrived safely, I packed it with great care. 😁

Super neat interactive dense LED display

For CycloHex - hexagonally-nested rings with 228 LEDs

I bought a pair of these to experiment with displaying continuous integration test status on because the multiple rings and their arrangement is well suited towards "small multiples" style visualizations. I have not yet gotten to that, but I can confidently state that the cyclo-hexes look and work great, have interesting built-in patterns, and were very well packaged.

I'm so glad you like your CycloHexes, Andrew, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review!

Wonderful pendant!

For Lux Lavalier - Wearable Light Art Pendant

Beautiful. Super easy to tweak the programming, even with a phone. Gets lots of ooh aahs too.

One flaw, the magnetic battery holder contact will easily let go, dropping the pendant. We backed oursup with a loop of yarn for the physical necklace. Might be better with a switch and wires.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Oct. 11, 2024

Thank you so much for leaving a review! I am so glad you like it!

Sorry about that. The design was definitely a compromise between having a secure latch and still being able to remove it quickly if needed.

Amazing Light Art Piece

For Fibonacci512 - 320mm disc with 512 WS2812B RGB LED

I love this piece of art. It's mesmerizing to watch all the different patterns. The animations are super fluid and the default settings are spot on for my environment (small bedroom/office with natural light coming in from two windows).

The only thing I would change about this would be to make the keyhole a little larger to accommodate my preferred wall mounting (Hangman Gold Bear Claw Hangers).

I'm super impressed and enamored with this piece of art!

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | March 16, 2024

Jeffrey, thank you so much, I am so glad you love your Fibonacci512!
And thank you for the feedback! I'll make the wall-hanging keyhole slot larger.

Eric | July 6, 2023

My only complaint is that it's not bigger. :)

For Fibonacci64 Mini - 64mm disc with 64 RGB LEDs

This is a great little blinkenlight. It's so much fun that I turned around and bought the 256 LED version. :)

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | July 6, 2023

Thanks Eric!

LuxLavier = LuvLavier

For Lux Lavalier - Wearable Light Art Pendant

Bought two of these pre-assembled. Well put together, well packaged with excellent documentation. Set them all up and love the random patterns already loaded. Use it straight out of the box or connect through wi-fi to customize. Wish the charger also had the wall power prongs for another power option... but USB works just as well. Easy enough. Cool enough.

Now, when is the capacitive touch version coming out please. Also a sound sensor. Thank you!

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Feb. 9, 2023

So glad to hear that your Lux Lavaliers arrived safely, and that you love them!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I really appreciate it! ❤️

How to calculate the coordinates of each LED

For Fibonacci64 Nano - 33mm disc with 64 RGB LEDs

Fermat's spiral pattern is continuous curve, but，How to calculate the coordinates of each LED?Is there a detailed description of LED position calculation?

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Oct. 11, 2022

You can find all of the documentation here: https://www.evilgeniuslabs.org/fibonacci64-nano
All of the LED coordinates are here: https://github.com/jasoncoon/fibonacci64-nano-touch-demo/blob/main/fibonacci64-nano-touch-demo/Map.h

Stunningly beautiful

For Fibonacci64 Flower - 148mm PCB with 64 RGB LEDs

Simple, beautiful, clever. I didn't read any docs about it and got a giggle when I learned that the screws are capacitive sensors. I've ordered another 5 for Xmas stocking stuffers. This was my favorite desk toy until I got a Fibonnaci256, which takes it to a whole new level. Fortunately I've got plenty of desk and wall space for flashy-blinky toys.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Sept. 29, 2022

Thank you Thomas for the kind words, I'm so glad you like it!

Awesome LED triangles

For PolyLEDron Addressable RGB LED Triangles

These very high quality LED triangle PCBs arrived very promptly, were well packaged and have excellent documentation and usage instructions. With a great price point for a total of 20 pieces I'm very happy with this purchase. Evil Genius Labs delivers superlative products as usual.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | June 23, 2022

Happy to hear you're happy with it, thanks Bradly! I appreciate the review!

Mesmerizing work of art

For Fibonacci256 - 166mm disc with 256 WS2812B RGB LED

This piece is wonderful. The seller was responsive, shipping it by next day and I recieved it within two days of purchase, well packaged and exactly as described. Though it will work with just about any code for driving WS281x pixels. I found the Fibonacci branch of FastLED webserver produces some of the best effects. Installation is very straightforward and works on multiple controllers. It's beautiful and mesmerizing! Very happy with this second purchase from Evil Genius Labs.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | April 7, 2022

Thank you Bradley!

Quite the captivating piece of LED goodness

For Fibonacci64 Nano - 33mm disc with 64 RGB LEDs

After coming across Evil Genius Lab's Fibonacci works I knew I had to see and hold one of these. As they seem to sell rather quickly I wasn't sure when I'd get the chance. Having purchased a number of Jason Coon's boards on OSH Park and frequently referencing wiring instructions on EGL's website, was excited to find the Fibonacci64 Nano available and promptly purchased one.

Got a same-day response letting me know it would ship the next day and, being local to the origin, received the following day. I opted for the board and diffuser only, and found the process of flashing and soldering an Adafruit QT Py very straightforward with clear instructions provided. Within minutes we found ourselves mesmerized and captivated with this lovely piece. The touchpad effects add a very cool interactive experience.

While I'm excited to tinker with the code, perhaps incorporating audio-reactive effects, in the meantime it's quite nice as is. Very happy with this purchase and highly recommend.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | March 5, 2022

So glad you received it so quickly, Bradley! Glad to hear you got it assembled and working! Thank you for taking the time to leave this review!

A true piece of art!

For Fibonacci256 - 166mm disc with 256 WS2812B RGB LED

The 256-sized Fibonacci disc is amazingly hypnotic. The patterns using the as-shipped code are great, and setup is easy with just a cell phone (to access the WiFi access point it creates, so you can connect the device to your own WiFi).

Documentation is well above average for open-source projects, but it does presume some technical capability if you want to update the software or customize.

As-shipped, it's ready to hang on a wall, with a single USB power cord, creating a mesmerizing piece that will capture your guests' attention (repeatedly, and often without them realizing they've been staring at it for 30 seconds with mouth open).

Thank you Henry!

Gorgeous Design for Wonderful Wearables

For Fibonacci64 Nano - 33mm disc with 64 RGB LEDs

I LOVE this board and how easy it is to use it to make beautiful wearables. I wear my Fib64 pendant out quite a bit because it's so pretty. It's super easy to solder it to a controller and there is a lot of great Arduino code available to take advantage of the Fibonacci spiral shape for beautiful animations. Some video examples of how I've used it:

This thing is incredible!!!

For Fibonacci256 - 166mm disc with 256 WS2812B RGB LED

This thing is absolutely stunning, Videos and pictures to not do it justice.
It's now on my wall and will be a conversation piece for years to come.
Setup was a little tricky to get it on the WiFi So I would not recommend for the run of the mill average person off the street, but if you have some basic computer / networking skills, it's no issue at all.
Love this thing..

Gorgeous and easy to set up

For Fibonacci256 - 166mm disc with 256 WS2812B RGB LED

I was ordering this expecting to have to load some example code and start hacking on FastLED or connect it to some other LED controller I know well.

Instead, because I ordered the “Fully assembled” version, I was so happy to find that this is actually wall-ready art. The builtin patterns and parameters were super easy to get going and tweak from my phone.

I love this thing. This is ready out-of-the-box to be given as a gorgeous, unique gift.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Nov. 24, 2021

Thank you! So glad to hear you love it!

Amazing LED Panel

For Fibonacci64 Mini - 64mm disc with 64 RGB LEDs

Amazing product! Very unique LED placement, able to create much more organic looking displays than basic concentric rings.
See for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1MbS8jtSAk

This works especially well with the PixelBlaze controller I've been using.
The documentation is very detailed, and the seller was very helpful and responsive to questions. He even posted PixelBlaze maps and joined the PixelBlaze forums to address my questions and help others.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Sept. 19, 2021

Brilliant build Anthony! So glad you're happy with them, can't wait to see what you build next!

Dionne | Sept. 13, 2021

This company is absolutely a treat to work with.

For Fibonacci32 - 50mm disc with 34 WS2812B RGB LEDs

I am making a LED pendant. The company has been wonderful. They are very attentive to communication, and are quick to reply. I will absolutely be making purchases from them again.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Sept. 13, 2021

Thank you, Dionne! I love watching the progress you're making with your LED pendant, and can't wait to see the final result!

A superb, hypnotic, and astonishing light display

For Fibonacci256 - 166mm disc with 256 WS2812B RGB LED

I resisted buying this for several weeks because of the need to import it to the UK, but I'm so glad I finally gave in and placed the order. It took just over a week to get to me in the UK, and has taken centre stage in the collection of programmable LED objects decorating the bookcases behind me in online meetings. It's already had several comments and questions from colleagues fascinated by it and wanting their own. It's certainly more interesting than looking at me in meetings(!), and I've just ordered a couple of the smaller ones for Christmas presents.

It's the most enjoyable and fascinating piece of electronics I've bought, and that's saying a lot. I'll be getting another 256 for the living room when they're back in stock, as I'm aware my colleagues enjoy the one in my office even more than I do!

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Aug. 12, 2021

Thank you John! I'm so very happy that your Fibonacci256 arrived safely, and that you're enjoying it!

Neat lil bit of desk bling that was fun to assemble

For PolyLEDron Addressable RGB LED Triangles

Picked up a kit and built the Icosahedron, the printed parts (not included, make sure ya have a FDM printer on hand) were easy to work with and snapped together with minimal effort. The positioning and layout of the panels/documentation was easy to follow. Shipping was fast and everything got here without any issues. It's a fun project check it out!

10/10 One of my Favorite Lights Ever!

For Fibonacci32 - 50mm disc with 34 WS2812B RGB LEDs

EvilGeniusLabs is AMAZING! They make great products, and the people running the show are some of the kindest and intelligent individuals I have found on the internet! I can guaranteed you will be more than happy with a Fibonacci32, or any other product made by Evil Genius Labs.

If you are on the fence about buying one of these, don't hesitate. Just order it! You won't regret it!

The fib256 is amazing and stunning with the black acrylic. Jason is quick to answer questions. This is far from the first thing I have bought thru his store and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommend.

Worked great until it stopped...

For Fibonacci256 - 166mm disc with 256 WS2812B RGB LED

When it works, it's beautiful.

Minor nit: it's really hard to get the USB power cord in far enough to easily connect.

Unfortunately, it stopped working about a week ago (and yes, I'm busy enough that I just noticed). I've double checked the power supply and cord. Both work with other devices; the Fibonacci doesn't work with multiple power supplies.

Wah! I need my beautiful blinkenlights!

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Jan. 28, 2021

Eric, sorry to hear that you're having problems! Please contact me directly and I'll get it taken care of.

Great seller, unfortunate circumstances.

For Octo Level Shifter FeatherWing

Put in my order late in the evening, sent a note asking if I could pay more to get the shipping bumped up. Received confirmation that same night that the order was being shipped the next day and the shipping had been upgraded, at seller's expense, to ensure it would make it in time! Fantastic! Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 related issues, USPS did not get it to me in time and I was unable to use it. I have no doubt it will work when I find a new use for the level shifter, which I definitely will. So I can not review the product, but based on what I am seeing, the other reviews, the documentation and the extraordinary responsiveness, I am going to drop this review of 5 stars across the board. Thank you!

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Dec. 21, 2020

Chris, I'm so sorry it didn't arrive in time. At the time, I knew that USPS First Class was running slow, so I upgraded (at my expense) to USPS Priority which should have gotten it there in the time frame you noted. I then learned that even Priority was running delayed.
I appreciate the kind words, and you taking the time to leave this review! Please let me know if you have any questions, or need anything else, now or in the future!
