Mesmerizing! Are you using rp2040s and LED drivers? What software do you use to export the led sequence from animation? I just have so many questions! Anyway, amazing. Good job.
This is run on a Teensy 4.0. The driver is a custom controller (doesn't need to be, but would require more pins and level shifting). There isn't a sequence though, it is rendering the 3D FBX file live. I have it set up like a simplified version of blender so you can animate in code!
I mostly do mobile software, but am looking into toying with hardware and more embedded system type programming. What sites do you buy your parts from?
Hey my trans sis is messing with two of these and ended up frying the boards. Is there a recommended voltage for these or a special way to treat them? Wondering if she just got unlucky. Any info would be helpful, thanks!
Hmmmst. She bought a 5v power supply for the screens and it fried the same chip on both boards. May be a faulty supply. Maybe bad boards. Thanks for the info regardless!
It’s definitely worth investing in a current limiting variable voltage bench power supply any time you are tinkering with electronics. Not cheap, unfortunately, but a big saver in the long run.
I have been considering similar panels for running Pico-8 games. Someone has already built the software for Raspberry Pi to enable it, I would just need to buy the parts and build it.
Great minds think alike, but what a missed opportunity on our side! (Literally just published a project blog post using these panels, must remember to include Spyro next time...)
Wow! Very cool - I'm also looking at what Shortwave SDR does indicating frequency vs amplitude over time in a waterfall graph. Thinking it would work for audio :-)

i'll have to spin on one of our monitors for a while
Check out bitluni on youtube for inspo.

Though I know it wouldn't be as good as an LCD for resolution, without a larger distance from the screen itself
Still a fun idea to me, not sure why
But now I have.
It is good that I have now considered it, for it is awesome.
but now I have
we can make it if we tryyy
just the two of us
