sup guys.
i've kinda taken a step away from music lately, just due to being uninspired and looking for new adventures. So i picked up a Raspberry Pi 3 and started tinkering with it. For anyone un-familiar, its a mini computer that can run basic programs like word documents, .CSV applications, and browse the internet. which is pretty amazing because they only cost 35 dollars and have loads of community to support it. there are also tons projects ideas on the web and loads of 3rd party add-ons that can help unleash your imagination.
I came across a tutorial on a popular maker website, adafruit, on how to make your own DIY LED wall. I gave it a go and wanted to share with you what i have so far:

Im using a python script, supported by adafruit and Henner Zeller, to play a mirror of what ever is on the GPU of the RPI, which can be a really cool if you use some free linux based VJ software such as the super pikix pi :

Its been a fun project, and i'm working on getting the next panel chained up correctly so i can have a matrix that will scale more accurately. I'll update when i finish building the frame and adding a more permanent PSU and complete the frame.
Parts used:
RPI 3
Adafruit RGB hat
64 x 32 6p LED panel (3x)
5v 10a PSU from amazon
