Jellyfish Interface

We’re scrambling like mad to get one of the jellyfish completed for the 4th of July (so we can take some demo video), and that means slogging through hours and hours of repetitive tasks for the tentacles.  Here are some fun facts:

• The tentacles for two jellyfish require approximately 1000 feet of wire
• They have as many lights as the umbrellas do – 96 each
• Each jellyfish’s tentacles have seventy-two 8-bit color channels
• This took a really long time to solder 😛
