[![SmartMatrix](https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/projects/979600/photo-original.jpg?v=1432073505&w=640&h=480&fit=crop&auto=format&q=92&s=e7f872a3cb2df45c5fbad0a251e4025c)](http://pixl.mx/kick2015) SmartMatrix is a self-contained 32x32 pixel LED matrix display for music visualization, dynamic patterns, pixel art, and more! Customize what's on the screen with the included remote control: choose what's playing, show a clock or message on top, and change settings, all from the remote. You don't need a computer or phone to control what's on the screen. Features -------- * Procedural pattern viewer * Animated GIF slideshow viewer * Remote control, allowing for ease of use. * Optional Clock display in the foreground, over animation and pattern slideshows (**requires real-time clock chip**). Demo Video ------------------------- ![SmartMatrix Demo Video](http://docs.pixelmatix.com/SmartMatrix/photos/GithubAuroraReadmeVimeoLink.png) Installation ------------ See [SmartMatrix Shield Installation](https://github.com/pixelmatix/aurora/wiki/SmartMatrix-Shield-Installation) in the [Aurora Wiki] for instructions on how to load the pre-compiled Aurora program onto the Teensy 3.1 See [Compiling](https://github.com/pixelmatix/aurora/wiki/Compiling) in the [Aurora Wiki] for instructions on how setup the Arduino IDE and all the libraries that are needed to compile Aurora. More Information ---------------- * [SmartMatrix](http://pixl.mx/kick2015) * [Aurora Wiki] on GitHub for documentation * [Aurora Project] on GitHub for source code * [Aurora Issue Tracker] on GitHub for reporting issues * [SmartMatrix User Community] to ask questions, share your work, ideas, etc Troubleshooting --------------- If you have any problems using Aurora (crashes, glitches, etc), please search the [Aurora Issue Tracker] before creating a new issue. If you have any problems [Compiling] Aurora, please make sure all the required libraries are properly installed. Please refer to [Installing Additional Arduino Libraries], and [SmartMatrix External Libraries] for more troubleshooting information.
