8x8 RGB Dot Matrix Display as Multi-Function Display (NEWS, Emoticons, Time, etc)

 8x8 RGB DOT MATRIX DISPLAY as
CLOCK, EMOTICON DISPLAY, NEWS FEED DEVICE



  • Would be interesting to build a multi-function RGB color display device. 
  • Good to have  display of time, images and any other chamak (custom messages, RSS Feeds,etc)
  • ESP has good support for RGB Led via the Fastled library. 
  • Bought and interfaced an 8x8 RGB from an online store with an esp8266
  • Fabricated a casing with the face and the box from a local vendor
  • The FASTLED capabilites/effects are as below. FASTLED is available here
