Heartbreak light

Heartbreak light

This took way too long to finish... It is based on the Raspberry PI 2040 microcontroller and the firmware built using rust and embassy.rs with more features planned than just looping colors.
I forgot to take any pictures/videos when creating the lettering with Inkscape & an Axidraw pen plotter but the next project will have that included as well! 😼

  2. ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -vf "transpose=2" output2.mp4

(Optional for .webp)
3. ffmpeg -i output2.mp4 -vcodec libwebp -filter:v fps=fps=20 -lossless 1 -loop 0 -preset default -an -fps_mode auto output3.webp
