You'll find the source code for all the apps on github here (not the main branch, use the board_v2.5 branch).RGB LED Light Panels are one of today’s most popular forms of RGB lighting. 1x2 vertical (2 panels) or 2x1 (horizontal) is also possible.
But you can also have them 1x4 vertical or 4x1 horizontal. For example in this Instructable, I have them in a 2x2 square.
#RGB LED PANEL SOFTWARE#
Raspberry Pi users can connect via USB.Īlso note that in the software you can change the physical configuration of the LED panels.
#RGB LED PANEL ANDROID#
Long tap from the Android app to write an animation or still image to the local SD card.Īndroid users can connect to the IOIO board which controls PIXEL over Bluetooth or USB. In stand alone mode, an animation or still image is written to PIXEL's onboard SD card and then the animation will loop with no connected device required. In interactive mode, the Android and Raspberry Pi is driving PIXEL what to display based on the application's logic. PIXEL has two modes: interactive and stand alone. There are three main Android apps, one for pixel art designs (you can add your own too), one for scrolling text (including phone text messages), and a pixel art editor to create your own designs. The best app experience is Android which offers the most functionality. You can find the apps for this project at.

So you'll just need to measure the mounting holes on your actual LED panels and then modify the CAD file mounting holes accordingly before you laser cut.Īpps are available for this project for Android (recommended) and Raspberry Pi. VERY IMPORTANT: The mounting holes on these CAD files for sure will be different than the LED panels you order because different manufacturers use different mounting hole layouts and this CAD file was originally down many years ago. If you have access to a laser cutter, use the SVG files from the previous step. Alternatively you can get away with just one front acrylic panel if you sand the translucent smoke acrylic panel with 1000 grit sand paper giving it a frosted effect. I used a frosted white acrylic front panel on the bottom and a translucent smoke front panel on the topic, this gives the LEDs enough diffusion while hiding the LEDs when the display is off. It's up to you what color you go with on the front acrylic panels. Then add the hex stand-offs and attach the front panel acrylic pieces. Once you've got the LED panels mounted to the back piece of acrylic. The pan head screws you will use will still cover up the larger hole so it won't be noticeable. The holes in the mounting template will probably be 1/8" but I'd recommend drill a couple sizes bigger to leave yourself some margin for error. Unfortunately each manufacturer's mounting holes will be different so you'll need to make your own template. You'll find mounting holes on the back of the LED panels. So be sure and only use the verified and tested LED panels listed here.Ī special thanks to Ytai Ben-Tsvi, creator of the IOIO board, for all his invaluable help on this project. Unfortunately while they make look the same, there does not seem to be any standard for LED matrix panels and each manufacturer can use a different chipset causing them to behave differently. You'll find several kinds out there from Adafruit, Sparkfun, Ali Express, etc. The panels used in this project are originally meant for large-scale building and scoreboard LED displays. This file assumes P6 LED panels so if you're using P5 or smaller, then scale accordingly.
If you have access to a laser cutter, use "super-pixel-svg-files.zip" and then modify to fit the mounting holes of your LED matrix panels. (32) M3 x 10 pan head screws (the LED matrix panels use M3 threads, 4/40 screws won't work).(4) IDC 16-in cables around 19" long, example here.(3) 16.5" x 16.5" acrylic sheets (I got mine from my local Tap Plastics shop).

5V power, rated at 20A minimum, an old PC ATX power supply is one option.Free Apps for Android and Raspberry Pi with included pixel art content, free apps here.PIXEL Maker's Kit (a custom IOIO board designed to control HUB75 LED matrix panels).4 sets of 32x32 RGB LED Matrix panels (Dimensions 7.5" x 7.5") or 2 64x32's, supported panels here.
