World of Light – an interactive feedback map

Using a self-written API, Joshua Krosenbrink gifted the new Usabilla office with the World of Light, a 426 RGB LED-powered map of the world. The API pushes user location information to a Raspberry Pi, animating the LEDs in real time to respond to website feedback as and when it’s received by the company. World of Light Nice LED wall I built with 426 RGB LEDs and a Raspberry Pi with WIFI.

Sense HAT emulator

Over the last few months, we’ve been working with US-based startup Trinket to develop a web-based emulator for the Sense HAT , the multipurpose add-on board for the Raspberry Pi which is also the core component of the Astro Pi units on the International Space Station. We wanted to provide a unique, free learning resource that brings the excitement of programming our space-qualified hardware to students, teachers, and others all over the world.
