I made a map displaying Boston's Red Line using WS2812B LEDs and a Pi!
The CharlieBoard: A Geographically Accurate Real-Time Transit Display (Boston MBTA)
I've spent the last few months building a real-time transit display for Boston's Red Line using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, and I wanted to share my project!
Check out the full project: github.com/tomunderwood99/CharlieBoard
Hardware
Raspberry Pi Zero 2W running Python display logic
WS2812B addressable LEDs (custom PCB or LED strips)
5V 4A power supply
16GB+ microSD card
Picture frame for mounting

"Mona Lisa" recreated using about 10,000 SMD components
This “Mona Lisa” was created as a technical demonstration by a by a Japanese company that provides PCB assembly (PCBA) services.
Instead of using PCB traces or silkscreen artwork, this piece is built from about 10,000 1608-metric SMD components. The image is formed through the color variation of resistors, ceramic capacitors and other components, turning electronic parts into a high-resolution mosaic.
