64×16 MQTT LED Matrix Display


https://www.electronics-lab.com/64x16-mqtt-led-matrix-display/

Xose Pérez @ tinkerman.cat build a MQTT LED matrix display to get notification messages. My MQTT network at home moves up and down a lot of messages: sensor values, triggers, notifications, device statuses,… I use Node-RED to forward the important ones to PushOver and some others to a Blynk application. But I also happen to […]
