Incredible, I cant believe how good this live version is! Why have I never heard this cover, hot damn, thanks for sharing!
Or Daft Punk?
This reminds me: I really need to catch up on the comic "Saga"
The good news is now there's a deadline to do so as new issues were announced this month.
One thing that isn't explained is how they deal with mapping the animations for the diagonal strips in the second version? I had a quick look at the code, but didn't see anything obvious.
Hi I'm the author! The zmap variable maps the grid positions of the pixels to their sequential positions. For the diagonal version I just wrote a Python script to generate a diagonal version. I haven't uploaded the Mk. II code anywhere, maybe I should!
I should also make a gallery for the three people who made TV heads based on my guide.
This is sooo awesome. Thanks for documenting this project and sharing it!
I didn't actually share it here but you're welcome for documenting it at least!
The answer to the density issue is not to use individual strips, but a matrix. You can get them down to at least 2.5mm (1/10") pitch.
Of course then you have a different problem - how to see out!
Matrix's need exponentially more computing power, and current injection every 1000 LEDs or so. I've been looking into a 1m x 2m matrix xmas display for one of my house windows, and have decided to use low density strips to keep the cost and complexity down.
Naturally, but OP specifically wanted higher density – just not necessarily _that_ high.
Ah, but I like being able to see out without a camera feed or some weird periscope!
Clever and fun. I like the diagonal stripping of the led strips to increase density.
Could you put a whole flat screen display inside the CRT casing instead?
You could, but you wouldn't be able to see through it. You would also need a bigger battery to power it.
This looks amazing, I love the idea and execution. Well done!
Retro from Dead Leaves ) If only the TV was yellow.
the title describes exactly what i imagined it look like
