In this video, we build an LED video wall using Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and 576 RGB LEDs!

Time to pull out all the stops for the biggest Super Make Something project to date! Using 3D printing, laser cutting, a Raspberry Pi, computer vision, Python, and nearly 600 Neopixel LEDs, I build a low resolution LED mirror that displays your reflection on a massive 3 foot by 3 foot grid made from an array of 24 by 24 RGB LEDs! From start to finish, this project was nearly two years in the making and was a big hit at the 2019 Cleveland Maker Faire at the Great Lakes Science Center on November 2nd!

Inspired by Daniel Rozin's mechanical mirrors, this project aims to create an interactive art piece with a digital twist! Perfect for public exhibitions at Maker Faires or permanent installations in a Children's Museum, the Neopixel LED mirror aims to inspire those viewing it to learn more about electronics and how to make cool stuff!
