Bullet Pixel Matrix with WLED and xLights

#WLED #xlights #matrix #pixel The bullet pixel matrix! It's the key to any home light show. While props and house outlines are valuable in a light show, having a matrix or mulitple matrices makes a huge impact in what you can do. In our past shows, the Matrix has been the centerpiece to our show. It allows us to tell stories by adding: -) singing faces, -) animated images, -) and a bunch of other fun visual patterns. One thing that held us back in previous shows is that our first matrix only had 884 pixels. While we are able to do a lot of things with this matrix, we could only use low resolution images or pull tricks by moving higher resolution images over a path to give the illusion it was supporting a higher resolution image. We’ve just finished putting together our 2365 pixel matrix using bullet pixels. Here’s how we built it!
