Hi,
I am a professional photographer from Germany/Europe and I would like to enhance the deepness and vitality of my pictures by dynamically illuminate them with an addressable backlight. As an example please check the pictures of the giraffe attached. From the original picture a created a BMP file 24-bit with a resolution of 19x17 pixels. My idea is to transfer the color information of these pixels to the same position of the LED matrix to illuminate my picture with the color saturation of the original picture.
The frame is 60x40cm and I have daisy chained 323 LEDs RGB, horizontally 17 rows, vertically 19 columns, LED pitch is 2cm. The soldering is left to right bottom up, starting lowest left corner. My programming skills are very limited, I am able to run the Arduino IDE and was able to install Teensy 3.2. but I lost track when it comes to
a) convert the BMP file to machine readable RGB code (c++)
b) create a sketch
c) implementing the LED color information (a) to the sketch (b)
Anybody willing to help me and contribute? I am also willing to financially compensate for the efforts,
I am planning to use also different pictures sizes and amount of LEDs, therefore I am looking for a general solution
which a can adapt myself for projects which will follow.
Thanks
