We’d like to congratulate Al Linke, one of our partner designers.\u00a0 Some of you may know Al from the\u00a0DIY Magic Mirror project<\/a>.\u00a0 Al’s latest project,\u00a0PIXEL<\/a>, was just funded on KickStarter. \u00a0PIXEL is an LED based display for retro pixel art, an image that is drawn pixel by pixel just like it was done in the early days of computers and video games.<\/p>\n

\"Pixel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PIXEL, which comes fully assembled or as a DIY kit, includes a 32 x 32 RGB LED matrix.\u00a0 Al partnered with\u00a0Ytai Ben-Tsvi<\/a>, creator of the open source\u00a0IOIO board<\/a>, to enable the LED matrix to be controlled by an Android device.\u00a0\u00a0 A static image and\/or an animation can be selected via the Android app, and then is relayed over Bluetooth and displayed on the 32 x 32 RGB LED matrix.\u00a0 What’s really nice is the project requires zero soldering. \u00a0With the DIY kit, you simply plug in the cables, load\u00a0PIXEL’s apps<\/a>\u00a0on your Android device, and go.\u00a0 The project documentation includes\u00a0a step-by-step tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"gumball_300\"<\/p>\n

To really showcase the possibilities, Al commissioned some pixel artists, familiar to some of you through indie games, to create art images and animations just for PIXEL.\u00a0 The end results are pretty impressive.\u00a0 Take a look at\u00a0the video\u00a0to see some examples of animation on PIXEL.

For anyone interested, PIXEL can still be purchased on KickStarter for a discounted price and includes the fully packaged and DIY versions.\u00a0 Please see the\u00a0PIXEL KickStarter<\/a>\u00a0page for more information.<\/p>\n

Here at Seeedstudio, we are very proud to have supported so many KickStarter projects like PIXEL.\u00a0 We have supported a lot of KickStarter projects.\u00a0 Our role varies from project to project and includes, but is not limited to, design; manufacturing; and fulfillment.\u00a0 ReaDIYmate<\/a>, Trigger Trap<\/a>, ClockTHREE Jr<\/a> are just a few of the KickStarters we\u2019ve supported. If you’ve got that next great KickStarter in the hopper and need any help, do drop us a note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
