Workshop at Master of Arts in Interaction Design, Mendrisio 9–13 January 2023
The aim of the workshop is to embrace constratints and develop ideas around limits. Develop and idea and a working prototype using a 32×32 RGB LED matrix.
- Idea driven development and research
- Realtime graphics and animation concepts
- Serial communication
- Quick prototyping
- RGB LED matrix 32x32 P6 (P6 means that the LED pitch is 6mm)
- HUB75 ribbon cable (usually comes with the matrix)
- 5V power cable for the LED matrix (usually comes with the matrix)
- 5V power supply (3A minimum), plus cables
- Teensy 4.0 or 4.1 development board (a Teensy 3.2 will do but has limited memory)
- SmartMatrix shield (not strictly necessary but handy to quickly connect the microcontroller)
- Micro-USB cable
All the examples rely on the SmartMatrix library for Arduino. The many features of the library are not demonstrated: the libraray comes with an extensive collection of examples.
