Since then, we've been debugging power and communications issues. Motors are noisy! But we did finally get all 80 running at once.

I wrote up convolution shader for SwiftUI's layerEffect in iOS 17! I'm working on making it more generic since convolutions are so powerful, but I got a Gaussian blur and a basic edge detector working (thanks to Janum Trivedi for the base project!)

If you're curious about the technical details behind the kinetic sculpture, we published a writeup over on Hackaday! hackaday.io/project/193922…

Getting started on the next project!
