“Last December, I attended the 34th Chaos Communication Congress in Leipzig, Germany. This is a large tech-conference with attendees bringing all kinds of awesome projects they have been working on.
It’s awesome and I just had to get one of my own.
I showed the video to some friends, telling them I wanted to build this. Sebastius and Boekenwuurm were as impressed as I was and wanted to join in on building one each.
And that’s how a new project was started! In this article, I’d like to tell a bit about how it works and how I programmed it.
The Hardware
Sebastius was very keen to get started on the hardware. The frame, casing and power is mostly his domain, so I’ll briefly describe the hardware here.
The 6 panels used are P2.5 HUB75 LED-panels bought from AliExpress. They’re driven by a Raspberry Pi Model 3 Using a breakout board that support the interface these displays use.”
