When I started this project I wanted to create something that would blend together a regular physical medium with a digital one. I can confidently and happily say that I have achieved this to a standard that I am happy with. This is definitely a piece that looks better in person, but I’ve tried to capture the experience as best as I could in the below gifs. In order to keep the electronics where I wanted and protected I laser cut an enclosure that from the front is covered by the original frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to display on the LCD screen I am currently using an application called mplayer, but I hope to improve this in the future to use a more robust system. The LED screen is using HZeller’s “rpi rgb led matrix” library to take a custom gif and display it looping on the LCD matrix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
