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.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Oct. 21, 2024

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! ❤️

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!

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..

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

Sorry to hear you had trouble getting it on your wi-fi network! Definitely let me know if you have any problems or questions. Glad to hear you love it!

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!

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!

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!

Justin | Dec. 17, 2020

Fantastic

For Fibonacci256 - 166mm disc with 256 WS2812B RGB LED

The quality of the effect and the product are top notch and absolutely worth the price. It’s hard not to stop and stare at how beautiful this is. More importantly, I had a minor issue with my fib256 and the support I received was outstanding. Very friendly and helpful communication, with multiple options to solve my issue. I will be buying from this vendor again.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Dec. 17, 2020

Justin, it was a pleasure working with you to resolve the issue. Thank you for your review!

Jeff | Nov. 18, 2020

Very Nice!

For Fibonacci64 Mini - 64mm disc with 64 RGB LEDs

I bought the 256mm version and liked it very much, so I bought this one for my daughter, and it is very nice as well. Very pretty mesmerizing spirals. I have not gotten into the backend of the small one, but the larger one is very cool. Many profiles to choose from, and many settings to make your own. Recommend

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

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Jeff! So glad you're happy with your Fibonaccis!

Kirill | Oct. 28, 2020

Blinkenlights, blinkenlights, blinken all the way

For Fibonacci128 - 86mm disc with 128 WS2812B RGB LEDs

Bought this gem without a controller, paired with a Pixelblaze.
Assembly is trivial, and the matte field of irregularly placed leds looks really really nice.
I'm so wanting the 256 version now.

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Oct. 30, 2020

Kirill, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, I really appreciate it! I'm very glad that you're happy with it! I have a few Fibonacci 256s left! 😁

Alexander | Oct. 26, 2020

A true work of art!

For Fibonacci256 - 166mm disc with 256 WS2812B RGB LED

I have a lot of colored lights in my house, ranging from off the shelf Hue and Nanoleaf to more hand crafted pieces like the Pixelblaze, and I can say definitively that the Fibonacci256 is one of the best in any category. I got the complete kit and the results of the matted cover with the light leaking from the sides really is able to light up a room.
The patterns though in combination with the varying strength of the leds really gives an organic feel that adds depth to the device and you really get sucked in as the patterns swirl and shift.
What makes this device even better is the quality of the underlying software. A lot of devices are pretty bare bones in terms of the actual software, but the underlying esp8266-fastled-webserver is top notch, actually excepting pull requests (an anomaly from my experience) and being actively developed.
Highly recommended!

Response from Evil Genius Labs LLC | Oct. 27, 2020

Wow Alexander, thank you! I'm thrilled that you are happy with it! If you need anything, or have any questions, please let me know!

Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail

For Fibonacci64 - 86mm disc with 64 WS2812B RGB LEDs

I received my Fibonacci64 nicely packaged with clear instructions. It's extremely well crafted. Typically I find it hard to get niche electronics like this configured but it was a breeze. I had it out of the box, setup and playing with it within 3 minutes. The fact that time has been taken to not only ensure an easy setup, but an easy configuration is a testament to this item. Configuration is easy, and fun through a web app. It's absolutely beautiful to look at. Extremely happy with this purchase.

Great little distraction

For Fibonacci64 - 86mm disc with 64 WS2812B RGB LEDs

The Fibonacci64 arrived within four days of the order. It powered right up and easily connected to the wifi. The control app has an abundance of controls, sliders and various options to keep you occupied for hours. And as a plus the display is superb, it's crisp, bright and fast. So often you buy something on a whim and it only disappoints. NOT so with the 64 is one of those little oddities that just keeps bringing a smile to the face. I've really enjoyed this little visual trinket and highly recommend it.

Great product - Even better shop owner!

For Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266 Level Shifter Mini Shield

Evil Genius has been AWESOME answering my silly questions and has done an OUTSTANDING job of responding and supporting his business. This is a guy who absolutely goes out of his way to keep his customers happy and help out.
Lastly - he is willing to update some of his documentation to allow knuckleheads like me to be able to do a better job with his products!
UPDATE - I was able to get the firmware setup and running and Evil Genius is GREAT! I will definitely be buying more from him!
Thanks
