Pixel Theater is a group of hackers focused on making LED devices for art and tracking time. We have open source designs and libraries for animating leds. We have parts to share and a few kits for sale, including the 1620x led dodecahedron sculpture, ESP32 controlled WiFi candles, RGB custom message signs and displays, custom digital and analog clock projects, and much more.

We are happy to give deep dives or tutorials, or just let people work on things in our main tent if they have a project to hack on. We have soldering and making tools around, including soldering irons, multimeter, oscilloscope, power supplies, microcontrollers, led strips, headers, cables and wires, screws, tools, hot glue, sensors, and many spare components. We are happy to share, come by for a chat or have a seat at our tent to work - MAKERS WELCOME!.

|Village planning notes=We will use our 5x5m tent as an open space for led hardware and artists that want to use our tools, parts, or expertise. We will be selling spare parts at cost (headers, cables, strips, esp32s, etc) for people that want them. We are open to host any talk or demo, just not sure if a tiny 5x5m tent is useful for the org
}}
Pixel Theater is a group of hackers focused on making LED devices for art and tracking time. We have open source designs and libraries for animating leds. We have parts to share and a few kits for sale, including the 1620x led dodecahedron, and are happy to give deep dives or tutorials. We have soldering and making tools around and are happy to share, come by and have a seat at our tent
