The controller works just fine in a smokey room. Smoke doesn’t really reflect the laser light in any significant way. The lasers output at 635 nm, and the sensors have bandpass filters that will only accept red light at that frequency. There is always a little ambient light distortion, but all of that is scaled out in the code.

Kind of nice, though i suspect it might be a bit useless in a smokey club, based on the guess that the resistors are picking up on the light reflected off the palms of his hands. Shame, because the beams of light going up would conversely look awesome in a smoke filled room
