Building a WS2812 LED panel (Code links in description)

*I'm likely going to re-make this video, or at least do a followup. Stay tuned.*



The WS2812B addressable LEDs (AKA NeoPixels) are wonderful little beasts, and since they are available at low cost from China in large quantities in the form of strips it makes them ideal candidates for turning into a nice RGB digital display panel.

Here's me building one with 192 LEDs (16x12 pixels) using a £1 picture frame and a bit of frosted perspex.

The controller board I used is the chipKIT Lenny:

The programming is done using UECIDE:

And I used Cariad (with the NeoMatrix driver) and PICxel to do all the hard work:

The code used in the video is the "HelloYoutube" example from the NeoMatrix library above.
