Aurora is a beautiful, dynamic art display. It's controllable, customizable, and extendable, allowing you to display your own animations and messages.
Aurora is driven by 1,024 bright RGB LEDS behind a diffusion screen. It's built using the SmartMatrix SD Shield and a 32x32 RGB LED matrix.
- Procedural pattern viewer
- Animated GIF slideshow viewer
- Remote control, allowing for ease of use.
- Optional Clock display in the foreground, over animation and pattern slideshows (requires real-time clock chip).
