Pixel Matrix video panels
Hey everyone,
I have had a few questions relating to the new pixel panels I have in my set up and wanted to pop some details on how it works.
The solution is essentially a pair of Pixel matrix P3 panels which can be purchased from Amazon. These panels are 32 x 64 pixels each and are controlled using an ESP32 developer board and a number of Dupont cables to connect the development board to the panel matrix.
I have developed some custom code which allows control of the ESP and matrix panels using there TDM2Net protocol, which allows compatible applications (like Jinx!) to send streamed video over your wireless network to the panels in real time.
This is the prototype to what will eventually become a video wall in a later iteration.
There are some limitations which I am working on, not least of which are the limits of wireless data packet sizes (1500 bytes per packet) and the ESP32 software not allowing for the reconstruction of fragmented packets, but with the current solution I am able to control 4096 pixels.
If anyone would like to know more about the solution, including the components and the code to make it work, by all means get in touch....it is an interesting project and adds a nice touch to live streaming.
Stay safe!!
