I have been watching the movie and LED sequences for a month, frame by frame i wrote down wich LED was on when, and with wich others.
i have a pretty good feeling about the pattern from the movie.
From this i have made "clusters" that contain 200-400 LED´s each, they are placed on a programmable LED board, its basically ON and OFF for different clusters for different times.
Here´s how it works.
RED - cluster 1
BLUE - cluster 2
GREEN - cluster 3
YELLOW - cluster 4
And so on. (colors are just identifiers for the different clusters, not the LED color)
The clusters contains both yellow and red LED´s and have their own specific location.
Each (except for two, one always lit, one always off) clusters get lights on for X milliseconds, X is different for each clusters of LED´s and all this together gives the nice blinking and lightshow on the WOPR
This work, to find what color goes where, wich led is lit togheter wich others, their speed and location and so on took me a month.
But, after i tried to just do some random blinking, it didnt look right, so i got stuck in perfection. I want my WOPR to be a small version of the WOPR in the movie, not a random christmas light flash-thingy.
LED positions/groups on the panels are 99% identical with the original, when AT & T made a replica, they didnt care about that detail, i will though :)
I have about 35 of the pics below, the example shows about 1/8 of the panel, each containing the ~1400 leds in different modes. + a layout for what color goes where.
