Wow, that's really complex for your first try at it. Well done!
Looks like twelve LEDs on the perimeter of a circle... are you using this to display time?
That's a a great idea! Unfortunately with this design the LEDs are segmented into 3 groups, so 4 turn on at a time. I think with either individulaly addressable WS2812b LEDs or by using some matrix wiring I could address them individually in a future design
Still a very cool build. I'm really impressed by how well you bent the rings. I feel like if I had been building this it would be very difficult to make such uniformed bends. Did you use any tricks for the rings?
(Looks like I can't reply to your second comment directly)
Bent it around the cylindrical bit of a cleaning supplies bottle. The main trick I think is to just use something way smaller than the circle you're going for, wrap the rod around it a couple times, and then when you let go the rod will spring out to a circle that's actually about the size you want
