De uitdaging

Large LED installations quickly turn into a wiring, power and repeatability problem. A useful controller has to move beyond a one-off breadboard and make it practical to connect, test and reproduce panel chains.

De aanpak

LAMP grew through physical prototypes. I tested individual matrices on the bench, connected multiple panels on the floor, and then moved the controller toward a custom RP2040 board. That process puts electrical layout, connectors, firmware and the behavior of the finished installation in the same feedback loop.

Het resultaat

The project has reached a PCB-ready stage and has already driven assembled displays. The photographs document the real build sequence: hand-wired prototype, multi-panel floor test, development setup and an illuminated assembled panel.
