Pledges/LEDLightDistrict

Let's build the LED Light District!

The prototype of the screen is working. We can run a cool animation, and we can play snake. We can interface with the screen with a simple protocol, or via an api that is as simple as calling screen.setColor( x, y, [ r, g, b ] ) ;

Let's build this sucker.

The following proposal will realize a 10 x 8 screen. A pixel is .2m by .2m so the width and height of the screen in m is 2m x 1.6m
