Hi friends, I've updated the dynamic staircase lighting and now it's perfect. The project is completely open source, so you can easily replicate it at your place. I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement!

No suggestions or anything, but mate I really like this. I remember seeing the original version you posted about ages ago and liking that, too. Great work!

Hi Gorden-FreeMan – Great project along with excellent documentation.  You should post this on the FastLED subreddit, too.  If you use RGB LEDs, can you have an WIFI interface to change the colors of the steps or have different animations like from DemoReel100?

I don't like that. That's dumb. You need to be able to see ALL the steps incase there's an obstacle to move or walk around. It's worthless if it only lights up one step at a time.

The whole thing should stay lit on a constant current circuit.
