I'm amazed at how cheap the LED matrix listed in the parts list is. About a third of a cent per LED, not even counting the rest of the hardware! Wow.

replyAt €20 per 32x8 module (2000/256), that's €0.078 per LED which is considerably more expensive than a third of a eurocent, I think? Even if it was €20 for all 6 panels, that's still over a eurocent per LED (2000/1536).

Cheaper now - AliExpress will sell you 6 32x8 boards for £59.21 (3.85p per LED or ¢5.16 if you're a colonial) saving you ~€52 over the original €120 price.
Classic project I want to do but know I’ll never make the time for lol that’s really cool man. Saving this on the off chance I one day get off my rear for it
replyHehe I know what you mean. I mentioned I have parts for v2 (stronger controller, rotary encoder with a big brass knob and completely offline - hardware real time clock), but we’ll see if it will ever happen.
replyProjects like this are always interesting to me because it is fairly outside of my skill set, but I feel like I could get there ha. We’ll see!
