  // Apply some blurring to whatever's already on the matrix

  // an automatic trend toward black -- by design.
  uint8_t blurAmount = beatsin8(2,10,255);
  blur2d( leds, kMatrixWidth, kMatrixHeight, blurAmount);

  // Use two out-of-sync sine waves
  uint8_t  i = beatsin8( 27, kBorderWidth, kMatrixHeight-kBorderWidth);
  uint8_t  j = beatsin8( 41, kBorderWidth, kMatrixWidth-kBorderWidth);
  // Also calculate some reflections
  uint8_t ni = (kMatrixWidth-1)-i;
  uint8_t nj = (kMatrixWidth-1)-j;
  
  // The color of each point shifts over time, each at a different speed.
  uint16_t ms = millis();  
  leds[XY( i, j)] += CHSV( ms / 11, 200, 255);
  leds[XY( j, i)] += CHSV( ms / 13, 200, 255);
  leds[XY(ni,nj)] += CHSV( ms / 17, 200, 255);
  leds[XY(nj,ni)] += CHSV( ms / 29, 200, 255);
  leds[XY( i,nj)] += CHSV( ms / 37, 200, 255);
  leds[XY(ni, j)] += CHSV( ms / 41, 200, 255);
  
  FastLED.show();
}

// Trivial XY function for the SmartMatrix; use a different XY 
// function for different matrix grids.  See XYMatrix example for code.
uint16_t XY( uint8_t x, uint8_t y) { return (y * kMatrixWidth) + x; }

Very cool! Are the LEDs wired in series or with a multiplexer(s)?

As a hint for anyone else using this code, I couldn't get mine to work for a while as my XY function was of type uint8_t. Eventually I spotted this, changed it to uint16_t and all works fine. This also works fine without the SmartMatrix stuff.

Are any changes needed to use the current version of FastLED (3.5.0)?
