Pixel Controller Electron
8/23/2018: New update for this device has been posted, v.2e has expanded the amount of pixels that can be controlled in standalone to 768 channels, 256 RGB LEDs.
The Pixel Controller Electron is designed to be the smallest, most versatile pixel controller available with the ability to control most any type of addressable pixel. It features a 3-axis accelerometer for feedback and is optimized for flow toys, wearable applications, and dynamic lighting applications. Using the free software NLED Aurora Control, the user can create endlessly customizable color sequences and patterns, as well as P.O.V(Persistence of Vision) graphics. With 16 megabytes of onboard flash memory, accessible over micro USB and through addon WiFi or Bluetooth modules. No need for SD cards, readers, or extra equipment, all that is required is a micro USB cable same as your smart phone uses. It is compatible with voltages as low as 2 volts, no need for boost circuits or extra batteries. In addition to the the powerful stand-alone features, it also is capable of direct control of the outputs through TTL serial from external devices such as X-Bees, Arduinos, and FTDI adapters. It also supports DMX-512 reception, with a special stand-alone sequence control method, which allows sequences to be triggered and controlled. Designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. to high standards, this controller offers a 3 year warranty and satisfaction guarantee.
The onboard 16 megabyte memory is enough to hold up to 256 customized color sequences, each with up to 65,535 frames.
Multiple firmware versions support either stand-alone flow toy based designs. Or high pixel control over USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, or Serial, up to 1024 pixels can be controlled from a single controller. See NLED Aurora Matrix for high pixel count control.
