Do you think we like the stigma that 90% of the twitch playtime was people betting and opening cases? No, I want to see pros playing the game.</p>

1) "Bit bang" the IR output pin to see if it's a sequence of pulses that turn on the LEDs in a certain way.
2) The IR signal is a packet of data to tell it to do something else.<p>The reason I am doing this is because you can do visual changes like half the stadium likes up red and the other white (depending on placement of course).</p></p>

Maybe MLG and other tourneys should start crowd sourcing their prize pool, CS:GO can get away from the betting... Oh, whoops, too soon?</p>

There are other organizations that host Valve sponsored events, Valve gives the prize pool and who knows what else, and the coordinating and putting on of the event is a third party.<p>Also its kind of a theme that Valve doesn't really give CS Go much love. I think they haven't even advertised a CS Go Major on the Steam page until the most recent one.</p></p>

I think I walked away with five or six new shirts, and everything in the gift bag x2 since I had a midweek and finals badge. It was insane.<p>Maybe it just comes down to the fact that The International is a Valve sponsored event and MLG isn't?</p></p>

WS2812 use the same package and includes a tiny WS2811 IC to make it addressable.</p>

I think I am mainly impressed by how the Mutaforma was controlled. If I ever encounter other manufacturers versions I'd love to break them open as well to see how they vary from each other.</p>

- Glowmotion have a nice solution based on radio communication. They can enable some proximity effects and synchronize the wristband with smartphone of the user.
- Xyloband has a basic type of wristbands. They were the first to do that kind of stuff in large stadiums I think (2012 Coldplay concerts).
- CrowdSync Technology</p>

I've been asked by friends to do some wireshark "hacking" to figure out the commands to send to it to do different things. I assume for each event, they load the MCU with different code for whatever the host wants it to do. My goal by the end of the year is figure out the IR command to call, "First Blood."</p>

I know PixMob makes firefly-type devices, huge orbs, and lanyards that all utilize the same tech. Needless to say I'd be willing to bet they use they same IR transmitting set up.</p>

There were head bands and mouse ears that would light in sync with the ferrous wheel. That would be another interesting teardown. I didn't buy one, but would assume internals were similar. The IP would almost certainly be locked down.</p>
