Hi, thought i would share my smartmatrix build. running latest version of Aurora and sm3. showing only the inbuilt spectrum analyzer patterns. i have also added the Ds1307 for time keeping. in all a fantastic piece of kit.
Frame is from ikea, a great price of £4.99. 32x32 display fits perfect. For diffusing i use 2 layers of frosted film, with about 10mm spacing.
Hiya Louis, Thanks, as ive said before its you guys that have done all the hard work.
The frosted film i used was a frosted vinyl. i can get further details of light transmission, and brand etc. im on holiday for a few days, so will update when im back. im still testing out other vinyls as i have a few matrix`s made from ws2812bs, trying to diffuse them with limited spacing is pain. but had some success with the protective covering off some plexiglass.
here is an example… i used the same diffusing on the smartmatrix on this display, then used the protective covering.
Hi… ive tried to track down the frosted vinyl i used, and the only information i found is it was a frosted vinyl made by 3m., in my line of work we use alot of vinyls, produced by spandex, and 3m, it has no information on light transmission., sorry guys i can not be any more help.
