I took the sketch from Michael and removed the libraries for the LCD Shield, which also handles button presses, rewrote the function that watches for keys and rewrote the parts that would display text on the display. Soldering and building the case only took a few hours, a Saturday well spent. The buttons are wired to digital pins, using the internal pull up resistor (activated in the Arduino sketch) I use pins 22, 23, 24, 25, 26įor reference here the complete circuit for the components I used The SD card reader needs some more ports, but all are grouped together. beside GND and VCC it needs SDA and SCL, pins 20 and 21, respectively. Pins for the OLED display are easy to find. Please make sure to connect GND of the LED strip to GND of the Arduino or your strip will display false LEDs because of signal noise. I power the LED strip directly from the Powerbank which is attached via Micro-USB.

The LED strip only needs 1 connection beside power, as it gets controlled through the PWM chip that lives on the Arduino.

Pinout on the Mega PRO is different, at least on the Version that I bought. To program your Arduino you need the Arduino IDE.

For the case I used an old bluetooth receiver that I have no use of anymore. You also need a Micro USB cable, some wire, a soldering iron, solder, electrical tape and something to mount the LED strip on. Total cost EURO 20,27 (almost 20 times less then the Pixelstick)

I sourced everything from aliexpress here are all the parts that I have used: I chose an Arduino MEGA 2560 Pro, a small OLED Display, a Micro-SD reader and a digital joystick, as the display does not come with buttons. The LCD display alone is already bigger than my complete controller I am not a fan of the large Arduino MEGA and the LCD Display shield as it makes the device unnecessarily large, so I decided to swap some parts. Hardware wise I think it is a bit dated and way to big. Luckily, Michael Ross already built something like this and it has some of the features, that I want. As I have never handled the real thing, I don’t know the kind of features it has, but I know exactly which features I want in a device like this: It’s a fairly niche product, so there are a lot of creative opportunities in uncharted territory.So I decided to build my own Pixelstick. “I can take virtually any digital pattern, artwork or even a photo and literally paint it into another photograph. “The PixelStick is one of my favorite tech gadgets because it allows me to combine lightpainting with experimental photography,” says Wallace Krebs of the Sealevel marketing department.

The have content packs, such as food, art, and video game characters, available for download to get you started right away.They offer tutorials on lightpainting, prepping images, and more.You can import any pattern, graphic, or photo.It’s easy to use - simply walk with the PixelStick, or spin it for abstract designs.Using a camera set for a long exposure, you can capture amazing photos, like we did with our Sealevel logo! The controller mounted to the back of the stick reads images from an SD card and displays them one vertical line at a time, with each LED matching a pixel in the image.

On our 6th day of #Techmas, we are featuring a gadget that all photographers will love! The Pixelstick is lightweight, and consists of 200 full color RGB LEDs. A picture is worth a thousand words, but the images you can create with Pixelstick will leave you speechless.
