As a kid, I always thought Australia was just a flat, hot desert. Turns out it has some mountains too

The led frame itself is made out of four ws2812b panels, a 3d printed grid and a sheet of clear poly carbonate that I spray painted with privacy frost effect paint. The effect is hard to capture, but looks a bit like neon tubes if they were pixels. There is a warm glow and brighter middle.

And it's a bit of a wood working/machining project as well. I used my CNC to build the frames and cover plates. Last pic is the mini PC powering it

The first game I made for it is a 2 player dungeon crawler where you need to collect all rainbows. One player walks, the other shoots and each time you pickup a rainbow, your controls switch over.
Also notice the ammo counter on the arcade stick itself, also ws2812b leds (this time over serial)

My biggest issue was to drive it at a high enough frame rate. Serial was too slow, so now it uses UDP packets.

It's really hard to capture how saturated and bright that led frame is. It's made out of four 16x16 ws2812b panels, each can draw up to 70W (but I limited it to a quarter).

Took a week off and built a new addition to the kids play room / library.
Custom made light frame and arcade stick that runs games on a 32x32 grid, powered by an ESP8266, Arduino Nano and a mini PC. When not in use, it doubles as wall art (folder of gifs) or clock.

Built a bookshelf with some recessed cubbies to create stairs for the kid. Before it was just a boring wardrobe
