Description

Introducing the 8x8 RGB LED Matrix Display Project!

Create a compact and versatile display with this 8x8 RGB LED matrix box. The design is tailored for an 8x8 WS2812B LED matrix, powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico. All you need are a few basic components:

Components required:

8x8 WS2812B matrix 65.3mm x 66.5mm (8x8 WS2812B Matrix on AliExpress)
Raspberry Pi Pico
USB-C socket (USB-C socket on AliExpress)
Button
Connecting wires

Features and Use Cases:

It is ideal for displaying images, animations, or simple information.
Optimized for minimal light bleed through the filament, ensuring sharp and vibrant colors.

Software:

I’ve written two programs that work together. The first converts 8x8 pixel images from LaMetric Time into image arrays, and the second runs on a Raspberry Pi Pico to display those images.

You can find both scripts here:

For LaMetric icons, you can access them using this URL format:
https://developer.lametric.com/content/apps/icon_thumbs/xxx.png
Simply replace xxx with the icon number from the LaMetric icon library.

Thanks!! It's pretty. However, it generates quite a lot of heat, and power consumption is a bit high. It measures around 0.5 to 0.9A

Hi @BlackHawk, thanks for this great design! Can you tell me what button you used?

The designer has replied

@BlackHawk

Hi! I think I used a button that I found in an electronics box that my dad gave me once. So, maybe just look on AliExpress or Amazon for something with dimensions that match the diameter.

@Vudoo

This looks awesome, but how do you program the pico?
