In response to this post@voltagex did you see the ESP32 talk at 38C3? they're building an open driver for the WiFi peripheral and it turns out the peripheral is quite capable for this sort of thing.

In response to this postI had weird dreams and then woke up very late with Deekline & Ed Solo - I Need A Dollar stuck in my head, which of course put me in the mood to bang out some tunes

why do I always get the itch to stream a DJ set during the hours when nobody else is awake (and in this case everyone who is awake is probably already watching GDQ)

In response to this post@ravenonthill each ray is cast from a distinct coordinate, so most data actually models it properly instead of as a point
@gsuberland oh, good. I didn't see how it would be useful without that info.

In response to this post@SophiaMostlySofi LEDs don't uniformly emit light in different directions so vendors provide radiometric data for them in various formats, and Ansys LightTools ray files are the most common but it's an undocumented binary format.
@gsuberland that is actually so nerdy, but i am soooooooo here for it lol. Thats interesting woulda never thought of that.

oh I reverse engineered the file format for Ansys LightTools *.ray files earlier, used for providing info on directional emissions for LEDs (most big vendors publish these files now).
they format is pretty trivial, and this post is to remind me to write it up properly tomorrow when I wake up, but the TL;DR is there's a header with a 4-byte magic number followed by some uint32 values, then a series of rays described by 7 floats (pos x,y,z then ray vector x,y,z then flux magnitude)
@gsuberland I have no idea what the hell you just said....but it sounds uber nerdy and im here for it. Time to google.

@gsuberland oh, I want to see that! Does it model the LED as a point source?

In response to this post@ryanc @soatok after this you need to run a series of 32 polls where everyone decides each individual bit in an IEEE754 single precision float
@gsuberland @soatok for bits, I will do two at a time.
