In a given length of lights, he wanted individual LEDs to fade in and out in a random-looking pattern. He wanted the length of each flash to be independent of the others and to be a different colour. Since then, he’s reused this code quite a few times as he likes the effect it gives. While the code isn’t perfect, it’s quite battle-hardened, and it might be useful for other people working on Christmas lights.
The project uses CircuitPython to give nice effects.
