Build Your Own RGB Panel Jumbotron
Check out this new tutorial and learn how to build your own jumbotron!
Ok, so maybe using the word "jumbotron" is a bit ambitious - but in this tutorial we'll show you how to simulate live video on an array of RGB LEDs - just like they do on old school jumbotrons!
In this tutorial. Ben shows you how to take live video from a webcam, use Processing to translate the color values for the RGB panel, push them out to a Teensy 3.1 microcontroller and then turn on the proper LEDs to create a pixelated image of whatever the webcam is pointed at!
Check out the tutorial for the full explanation!
This is pretty cool, thanks for the post/writeup.
Now you need to make a grid of 60x34 together for some (roughly) 1080p action!
