Theres a guy publishing yt vids about his installations of this nature<p><a href="https://youtu.be/9Qlmywxjau0" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/9Qlmywxjau0</a><p>The attention to detail, I find the details fascinating. He's a really bright guy but designing the protocol, making software so that the creative agency can program the lighting without him in the loop, writing firmware that protects the installation from damage even if they're ham fisted with the lighting sequence they design etc etc
This is rad! I have a bunch of LED matrices I currently use <a href="https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix</a> for, I need to spend some quality time with Anypixel to see how it compares / if I can combine the two.<p>I wish that "in browser previewer" link actually led to a usable in browser thing rather than just a folder on GitHub.
Obviously no way to build these PCBs by hand, 4 layer and a lot of hard to solder parts. BOM cost for the controller is about 100USD.<p><a href="https://aisler.net/googlecreativelab/anypixel/controller-r3" rel="nofollow">https://aisler.net/googlecreativelab/anypixel/controller-r3</a>

> AnyPixel.js’ straightforward hardware/software framework makes it easy to build any display where each pixel is an interactive element.<p>Interesting apostrophe here. I'd never consider how to attribute possession to a package name.
Very cool. Perhaps Adafruit, Sparkfun or the like will whip up with a kit that utilizes these types of led arcade buttons, but on a much smaller scale. Also, I wonder if they make "mini" led arcade buttons so you could tighten up the array a bit. It seems that smaller buttons would create better visualizations if space was limited.
Those buttons looks cool. Anyone know where to get them? (<a href="https://googlecreativelab.github.io/anypixel/img/carousel_02.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://googlecreativelab.github.io/anypixel/img/carousel_02...</a>)
Lol... I had that page open in a tab since last night. Just came into my office to hear my computer fan running hard. Seems Chrome was pegging my CPU at like 200% for like a day.<p>Whoo hoo.
