A friend at work bought LED panels. Actually, he bought six 32x32 RGB-LED panels. He also built a very nice wooden frame.
We stripped down st to the bare minimum and heavily modified it: st no longer creates an X11 window but a PNG file. Each pixel in that PNG file represents one character of the original terminal. st then pushes this file to a custom web application (fancy schmancy django + redis + magic) which, in turn, pushes the PNG to a Raspberry Pi. The LED panels are attached to that Pi. Finally, a modified version of hzeller's rpi-rgb-led-matrix can read the PNG from the webapp and display it on the LED panels. tl;dr: Run arbitrary terminal applications (on your computer) in a customized st and have them displayed on 64x96 LEDs (which are connected to a Pi). Looks like this:
As you can guess, the whole thing is intended to be used with tools like termtrack or asciiworld or whatever. It's of limited use when running Vim. |
