Running a 32x64 RGB LED Panel with only an Arduino Nano

“Display any picture or text on a 32x64 LED panel with just an Arduino Nano! The beginning The actual first time I worked with such a panel was on the 36C3 in the end of 2019, when a friend of …

Pix-a-Sketch - A Virtual Etch-a-Sketch on an LED Matrix

“Use two rotary encoders to draw whatever picture your heart desires, and then shake it to erase the image — just like the real thing! This project was created as a throwback to a much simpler toy, the Etch-a-Sketch, but instead …

RGB LED Matrices with CircuitPython

“Bring a little bit of Times Square into your home with our RGB LED matrix panels. These panels are normally used to make video walls — here in New York we see them on the sides of buses and on bus …

FPGA Based Binary Clock

“FPGA based binary clock, which uses GPS for the time reference. Introduction Measuring time accurately has through out history presented a number of challenges. It was only with the John Harrison’s design of a reliable clock which could maintain …

Getting Started with the SmartLED Shield for Teensy

“Introduction The PixelMatix SmartLED shield for Teensy makes it easy to connect to RGB LED matrix panels! The shield makes it easy to connect to the 16 pins required to drive the display, connects an external 5V supply to power …

Tetris Time on a P10 RGB Matrix With ESP8266

“I had this P10 RGB LED matrix lying around for a while. I used it with a arduino mega (works good but no easy internet connection) and raspberry pi (flexible, but a big overhead and long startup time). So I …

Weekend Project - Ghost message!

“Many years ago, I thought it’d be a fun idea to have an RGB panel that would display game sprites on demand, connected to the internet, so people could display a sprite on demand. Just a sort of fun …

Arduino Mood Gauge With Clock

“Here’s my mood gauge. It started out as a ‘I know what we need…’ discussion in the office, but since making it I think it could also function as a child behaviour monitor for parents or a RAG/traffic …

A FPGA controlled RGB LED MATRIX for Incredible Effects – the Hardware

“In this post you will find the description of a graphic display that uses a modular solution based on dot matrix blocks (in which each dot is a RGB LED), that are driven – via a specific bus – by a very …

Drawing Simple Graphics on a RGB LED Matrix Panel with a Raspberry Pi and GeeXLab

“In previous articles (HERE and HERE), we have talked about the RGB LED matrix panel as well as the RGB Matrix HAT which is the hardware interface between the LED panel and the Raspberry Pi. Today we will cover how …
