Instructables user ‘dearner’ has taken a Raspberry Pi, four 32×32 RGB LED matrix boards, an Adafruit RGB matrix HAT, a good extra power supply for the matrices and some smaller parts and created a long LED display. He’s then created some software<\/a>\u00a0to generate the starfield effect and put it on the Pi. The effect (which you can see below) is strangely beautiful. The whole thing is written up as a tutorial which you can see here<\/a>.\u00a0Beware: some of the inline Python code is not indented, so you might need to figure that out for yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n

You can see the starfield in action below:<\/p>\n
