Soldering and building the case only took a few hours, a Saturday well spent. beside GND and VCC it needs SDA and SCL, pins 20 and 21, respectively.įor reference here the complete circuit for the components I used 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.

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 weighs 1,6kg, has a nice display to select files, has a remote release and runs on 8 AA batteries. The Pixelstick is a 188cm RGB lightstrip on a stick that plays bitmap files. I have always wanted one to at least try out some lightpainting with it. The Original Pixelstick retails for EURO 399,– here in Germany. “nothing compares” is one of their statements. Throughout testing we’ve used Sanyo Eneloop and Amazon rechargeable to great success, never requiring more than one set for a long night’s shooting.You might know the Pixelstick. The handle is perpendicular and has a secondary aluminum sleeve, allowing pixelstick to spin freely. The images themselves can be from 1 to 198 pixels tall and many thousands of pixels wide. Pixelstick’s brain, a small mounted box, reads images from an SD card and displays them, one line at a time.Įach LED corresponds to a single pixel in the image.

Taking this one step further, Pixelstick can increment through a series of images over multiple exposures, opening up light painting to the world of timelapse, and allowing for animations the likes of which have never before seen.Pixelstick consists of 198 full color RGB LEDs inside a lightweight aluminum housing. Pixelstick reads images created in Photoshop (or the image editor of your choice) and displays them one line at a time, creating endless possibilities for abstract and/or photorealistic art. We were consistently amazed by what we were able to capture we can’t wait to see what you can do with it, too. Over many months of shooting we found Lightpainting to be more entertaining and more rewarding than ever. Pixelstick broadens the horizon of what’s possible.

Lightpainting involves thinking creatively and trying outlandish ideas in the pursuit of amazing pictures.

Pixelstick sprang from our desire to break free of these limitations.
