Project mention: LX Studio: Tools for 3D Lighting | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-22

Would love to see more open source competitors in this space. I was excited when I saw a Github link, but that's basically hosting just a README and the only one I know of is [GeoPix](https://github.com/EnviralDesign/GeoPix), but to be fair I haven't used either LX Studio or GeoPix. LX Studio does look exciting though, I will evaluate it on my next LED mapped project. A few projects I've done in the past have been playing with [Enttec ELM](https://www.enttec.com/product/dmx-lighting-control-software...) which is also not open source. A really neat feature of that software though is you can map GLSL shaders over your stages.

• firefly_luciferin

  8 281 8.6 Java

  Very fast Java screen capture PC software designed for the Glow Worm Luciferin firmware, the combination of these software create the perfect Bias Lighting and Ambient Light system for PC.

Project mention: Ambilight as immersion boost for ultrawide setup | /r/ultrawidemasterrace | 2023-06-26

Personally, I just bought a 5-pack of ESP8266 D1s. I simply plugged it in and put my existing RGB data line to pin 6, I flashed the ESP8266 using my browser following the Quick Start guide (I ended up having to use my work laptop, my regular PC was giving weird permission issues when trying to flash).

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• esp-rgb-led-matrix

  1 273 8.8 C++

  Full RGB LED matrix, based on an ESP32 and WS2812B LEDs.

Project mention: ESPHome | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-23

Since you're (seemingly) already familiar with Arduino, just use that as your framework. You can program the ESP32 in Arduino and access any library you're familiar with as well as handle Wifi.

You can buy an RGB matrix on Adafruit and they sell esp32 boards that can drive them directly,so it's essentially plug and play, no hardware knowledge necessary.

If you prefer to DIY but still need some guide, check out this project that documents both hardware and software to achieve what you want to do:

• Update: I improved visual quality even further. Code is now fully die hard 32 bit only. It opens the door to ridiculous creative coding - now we can do basically anything to the values without concern to cause flicker. Faulty results get filtered out while all valid results maintain 32 bit accuracy.
