FPGA Tomfoolery

Against great odds It seems an elegant mix between my bitcoin mining hardware and art has come to fruition. Spawning THIS:


A couple of days in planning and a bit of tweaking at the end has got this FPGA running at ~228MH/s@228MHz.
Add in a fan for righteous cooling, and it will stay that way.
Then add in some night lights, so you can see your keyboard as you vent your frustrations at the internet late into the night.
Make it adjustable so you can sleep if you want to.
AND
WE HAVE LIFTOFF!!!

First Processing sketch

This is my first uploaded processing sketch. This was generally an exercise in using functions and getting processing to do what i want. Soon enough I might update this with the ability to "listen" to sound and music and derive its activity (and possibly colour) from beat, frequency etc. It's called "Crosses" and I've also chosen to release it under GPLv3.
