    I did a shitty version (64x64, shitty color picker). But it sends every change to a 64x64 led matrix.

    Also it’s in my sons room, so NO, you won’t get the url XD

        At least it was a fun father-son-project. I wrote the server part, he the client part.

        First there is the web frontend (sending click requests to a script that saves the clicked pixel in a database, heartbeating to a script to refresh the “image”)

        You can emulate the rgb output:

        Then there is the 64x64 RGB matrix and a raspy connected to it. It is quite hollow on it’s back, giving the raspy some place to hide:

        The code on the raspy connects to the server and refreshes it’s image, if a change happened.

        I also “hid” the matrix inside a canvas frame, to help diffusing the single RGBs a bit:

        This is, how it looks in the dark:

        Sorry for the bad image quality.
