My girls are very excited by the Pixel Purse, and it’s taken up pride of place next to the Project MC2 Spy Kit that’s still the most prized possession, so that’s a good sign. I think it would have been a lot cooler as an actual functional purse, but the kids haven’t particularly mentioned that. The only thing I think could be improved is the ‘purse’ part – there’s no room to put anything other than the phone and maybe a pen or some loose change. Here are some of the animated designs.īy attaching the purse to a phone and downloading the app, you give your young designer a blank canvas to write messages, or create animations which they can then display on the outside of the purse. It does, however, come with 10 pre-installed animations that you can use if you don’t want to go the DIY route. They always have cool gadgets thanks to their inventiveness and ingenuity and the one we’re playing with here is the Pixel Purse, a plastic ‘purse’ with a shoulder strap that opens to fit a mobile phone that you can use to create and send your own graphics to the purse. If you don’t know what Project MC2 is – it’s a group of highschool girls who are also undercover scientists, spies and otherwise secret agents who use their scientific knowledge and skills to solve crimes and catch the bad guys. The latest to amuse my girls is the Smart Pixel Purse. For more info, see POWER.You don’t have to scroll back too far through our pages to know that we’re huge Project MC2 fans around here, and have more than a few of the products in our collection. However, you can safely get away with it for a single LED panel if you really want to keep it simple. The ESP32 board traces are not designed to supply extra power for these types of panels. If you plan to daisy-chain these panels: please power the panels directly, then siphon power from your panels to your ESP32. I'd love to hear your mounting ideas! Power usage and powering your project Brightness This display is missing the common screw mounts on HUB75 panels. For the time being I'm using half of the purse shell as an ugly mount. I have no solution to mount the LED display anywhere. Please note: my PCB works with SmartMatrix library, not PxMatrix.
