Screen share ANYTHING to this matrix! (Pi Pico)
Переглядів 112,923
День томуMy first take on MicroPython and the new Raspberry Pi Pico W. Had some struggle wit the lacking ram but at the end a simple screen share worked which allows you to project anything shown on your PC screen to a nice LED Matrix display wirelessly. The case with back projection screen is printed in one Piece. It's a super simple project to make on a weekend. I have better Websocket versions coming so subscribe to not miss that.

Could you 3D print direct on to a diffusion firm, and just skip the first layer.

this is genius! will try and upload result

Or maybe switch filaments between first and second layer. Transparent or grey for the first layer, and Black for the walls.

I made a tile wall with custom 16x16 neopixels each, running from an ESP32. I wrote a windows app so it would stream a region of my desktop over UDP to the wall (I only had 15 tiles to start with) and it ran great over WiFi at 60fps 😁 Yourube videos look great on it. Takes a LOT of power though. Obviously in c/c++

With the black 3D printed baffle you could dip the assembly in silver (or white) paint to improve brightness. Spraying or brushing would be too hard given the shape. Draining after dipping should work well. Nice project, thanks!

Techmoan recently took apart a really bad ikea sound visualizer thing, it used a microphone to "detect" the "beat" and step through a low res gif. More interestingly it used an LED grid like this and a frosted translucent plastic panel of lenses to create large circular "pixels" from each LED. With a clear-ish filament you could probably 3D print a similar pixelizer panel to produce a look like this, but with much less depth, I expect less filament, and you could potentially put a gap between the pixelizer and the LED panel, which would , if vented top and bottom, create a natural convention of air across the LEDs to help keep them cool

@bitluni you should spray silver spraypaint on the inside of the cover to avoid cross-channel leak and material absorption of the light which just wastes power.
@conorstewart2214 Рік тому
In the pico C sdk there is a socket library now, based on lwip, I think very similar to how it’s done on the esp32 so it may be worth trying out.
@SimonRumble Рік тому
In case anyone's trying to print the undimensioned STL files, I set the height of the entire print labelled to 42mm and printed and it fits perfectly. This is for the "30mm" (distance from LED to diffuser) file.

i made a similar thing about a year ago based on the esp8266, it has clock, weather, patterns, drawing, games, animations and streaming via jinx! capabilities, i think you need better diffusion tho i used 2mm thick frosted acrylic and a sheet of tracing paper (or wax paper) behind it, and the leds were completely diffused

Nice and inspiring video! I really want to build some kind of led screen with e.g. a clock for running events and similar, that can be set and controlled remotely, but then these led matrices are too small. You showed that it's possible to chain them though, but could you make a video on that topic to easily extend the size a bit?, but without making it a ping-pong wall :)

if you wire the neopixels directly to the pico, you might get problems in noisy environments, since the rp2040 runs on 3V3 and the ws2812b expects a 5v signal voltage

@0sliter0 Рік тому
UDP stream is the most efficient way to send pixels to the RGB strip. Also using C++ would allow you to do it in 60 FPS. I did similar project with esp8266 and 288 led strip. And also, you can go to your router settings and assign static IP to the rpi so you don't need to update it everytime...

Ah, eternal love-hate relationship with the WS2812-type LEDs, worked in enough things that have zero redundancy on the serial line, meaning the moment an LED went out it would take out everything after it in the chain too. Makes the newer WS2813-type ones with their redundancy pin seem really appealing after that .-.

I ended up having to put ears on the corners to keep them from lifting. The rest of it printed up beautifully, and then I tried tearing off the ear like I usually do, forgetting that the bottom layer is no stronger than the ear. Oops! It looks nice with faux marble filament anyway and I'll take a second swing at printing it later on.

When the image is shared to the Pico, LED panels 1 & 2 have red and blue lines intermixed, and panels 3 & 4 have green and white lines intermixed. I can't figure out what to tweak in the code to fix this -- any suggestions?
