ESP32-CAM Self Organising WS2811 LED String

I had a big bundle of WS2811 addressable RGB LEDs. I wanted to see if I could use my ESP32-CAM board to do some simple image processing to bring some order to the LEDs.

It works surprisingly well for simple geometric patterns. With more LEDs, I think you could probably get to the point where you could show text and maybe even videos.

All the code is on GitHub - would love to know what you think and if you've got some LEDs lying around try out the code and see how it works for you.

You could probably easily modify the code to use a simple web camera and move the image processing to the Javascript side of things. This would let you use a standard ESP32 board for controlling the LEDs.
