I recently got this "sunflower light" while searching for stage / disco lighting effects. While it's an interesting effect, I'm curious about how it works and if it is hackable. So lets go exploring!

Here's where I got this thing: https://pileofstuff.ca/r/0xbv3

It made it's first appearance in my most recent mailbag video: https://youtu.be/uaFCQlDZqgw

This isn't the only way to do it. It's probably not the best way to do it. But it's how I did it.

I do wonder if the "random" pattern is a pre-defined loop, and so you could technically synchronize multiple by just giving them all power at the same time (though they'd probably drift apart after a bit, I doubt that IC is precision calibrated :P)
