Maybe you’re not related, but that looks like my Aunt Sampler!

121 LEDs? Bugger that soldering ball ache.

Looks fine…but also reeeeally undescript. How deep do the engines go, what’s the workflow, connectivity to other gear… In other words: how usable is it outside of the educational aspect.

There are tonnes of such project (with platforms as raspberry, teensy, daisy…), the sourcing of the parts is usually where the “just so much” gets expensive, so it’s nice that that’s done, but the target is pretty clearly not people with proper gear already.

Nice grid sequencer and screen.
