#check out my realistic Flickering LED Flame Lamp

the glass outer cylinder really gives it the extra pop of realism with the reflections

Very nice! Good work! 😃👍

Looks really cool, does this need specific cylinder radius for the LEDs ?
Also the code isn't available in this video (but it work in the original SD video)

you right the links not the same dont know why, youtube want to verfify my accoutn with personal infomrations, we will see..
the diamter depends, it is important that the leds stack
what i want to say it, that this pattern does not look so good ( or at least i didnt manage it to edit to code so that works with that pattern. Check my last photo for bedda understanding ( but 3 years ago there was no chatgpt )
its better if the led alligned like this
if you watch the "original" code he managed it by cutting each line and solder it together:
if i can trust my amazon buy back then,
the alu pipe is :
Ø 63x1,5mm x 50cm
with this pattern , for me the fire runs like this shape, ( more spinning than climb ) as i tell in first answer, i did not manage to edit the code that it go one cell less for each turn.

i just cant find my final final code anymore, but if you intersted, i just tuned all this spark and cooling , heat values to max ( until the effect completly breaks ) and went to smaller value , that way i archived this big flame instead of that small from the " original code" video:
and since the 2812B stripe is 5V , and the tensy is 3,3V logic, i used the 3,3V hack just to make sure, mostly it works 3,3V out of the box but i didnt want to re open the lamp so i just ad this trick.
The datasheet tells us that a logic high input will be detected at a minimum voltage of 0.7 * Vcc. If you’re running the LED at 5V, this means 5 V * 0.7 = 3.5 V will be needed for the WS2812 to detect a ‘1’ on the data line. While you might get away with using 3.3 V, after all the specification in the data sheet is meant to be a worst case, it’s possible that you’ll run into reliability issues.
to perform the level shift, a signal diode is placed in series with the power supply of the first LED. This drops the first LED to 4.3 V, which means a 4.3 V * 0.7 = 3.01 V signal can be used to control it. The logic out of this LED will be at 4.3 V, which is enough to power logic the rest of the LEDs running at 5 V.

i just cant find my final final code anymore, but if you intersted, i just tuned...
So the code seems to be easily editable to change MATRIX_WIDTH if I got a different cylinder of denser LED strip, nice
Hope I will have time to make one for myself one day, and to found some room in my appartment to fit
