Ding Dang Trevor Flowers on Nostr: The main shapes of the MegaPixel display are roughed out and I've ordered a small TFT ...
The main shapes of the MegaPixel display are roughed out and I've ordered a small TFT that I hope will nicely fit inside. I'm tempted to also fit the microcontroller board inside the display case (where the tube would be on the originals) because a cable from the cube with enough lines to drive the TFT would be much thicker than a correctly scaled original cable. I suppose that I could use a microcontroller in each and send image data via BLE 😸.
