How-to: make a networked graffiti wall panel
The crew over at Hack A Day has posted a comprehensive how-to on creating a fully networked graffiti wall for your office, bedroom, or what-not. “A what??” you might ask… Well, its one of these guys…and the best part is that it’s connected to the web so that anyone can upload their own sequence to the Graffiti Wall.
Their explanation is definitely thorough, though a little on the technical side. I had to take a break from it about halfway through - the build is not for the faint of heart. But the result is definitely impressive. They also have a live feed of everyone’s uploads if you want to keep an eye on what people are doing with it. Someone even went as far as creating a Pong re-enactment for it. Here’s the vid of it:
And, of course, the site has complete instructions down to each soldering point if you’ve got the gumption to build your own. If you do, let us (and the crew at Hack A Day) know how it turns out!
