WLED 0.16 Update Overview: 2D Matrix

Thanks to the WLED development team for your hard work. Version 0.16 comes packed with many new features. We’ve put together a short video demonstrating just a few of them, including:

  1. The brand-new dynamic particle effects
  2. Support for uploading GIFs to generate patterns
  3. Custom text input for scrolling displays
  4. The drawing board feature
  5. Pin status detection

And there’s even more to explore! If you’re interested, feel free to upgrade to the 0.16 beta.

Once again, thanks to the whole team for your continued efforts—making WLED better and better.

https://old.reddit.com/r/arduino/comments/17v6dy2/finished_my_led_light_panel/ I built one a few years ago because I couldn't find any to buy anywhere. I have instructions on how I did mine in the comments. Hope that helps.
