retro-frame

LED matrices are so fun to play with. The low resolution and chunky pixels give them the aesthetics I really enjoy. I’ve built a 64x64 pixel art frame [0]. With the diffuser in front of the matrix, it looks like animations are floating in the air. I got parts for v2, but I’m yet to find time to build it. I really like how electronics today are very accessible to start playing with. Basic stuff is mostly plug-and-play, and essentially it becomes a software project. https://github.com/Stanko/retro-frame

I'm a sucker for old games and good pixel art and I've built a pixel art frame powered by a LED matrix. It is not the most impressive thing I've built, but it is the one that brings me the most joy.

I wanted something that has a feel of an art object and sits on the shelf, rather than being a smart object that you can control with an app. The whole thing is open source and you can make it yourself: https://github.com/Stanko/retro-frame Disclaimer - This was my first ever python project and I just made it work. ATM a friend of mine is helping me refactor everything. Repo also needs images of a new wooden frame I made. Edit: Formatting.

I won't judge, especially as I don't know cpp either :) It seems great and way more user friendly than what I have. I might steal your code for the next iteration. I'll write a proper readme and make my repo public today. EDIT: Here it is: https://github.com/Stanko/retro-frame
