- Buy the kit on https://www.futurashop.it/
- Assemble the kit (including touch screen display, Arduino Mega and NeoPixel bar)
- Open the sketch and setup your Arduino IDE selecting: “Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560” board.
- Get all the libraries required (most on http://www.fishino.it/download-libraries-it.html)
- Edit file "FishinoXPT2046.h" and uncomment/set following lines:
#define TOUCH_CS 6
#define TOUCH_IRQ 3
- Upload the sketch
- Have fun!
- With Paint of other image editing software create and save a "24 bit Bitmap" image
- The image that you want to show must be rotated to the right by 90 degrees
- The image must have exactly the width equal to the number of NeoPixels used on the PixBrush (example: 144 NeoPixels = 144px)
- Upload the image on the SD card and put the SD card on PixBrush
- Switch on PixBrush and set to your smartphone or reflex a long exposure time (example: 15sec.) and low ISO (exampe: 100)
- While taking the picture, move in front of the lens from left to right by starting the image scan and holding PixBrush vertically
- Try to maintain a constant and fluid movement
