Hi FastLEDers

My friend is planning to start performing in the not so far future and he has an idea to put an LED panel (a 64x64 matrix, maybe something even bigger) in front of his face to make it more interactive. He would like to be able to see the audience, though, so he is looking for something that he can see through. Ideally, it would work with FastLED :wink:

Any thoughts/ideas?

I have seen something like this, but no idea if they sell in small amounts for personal projects.

You can go modular using small and cheap PCBs assembled on an acrylic panel. The PCB can be either grid shaped or you can go for something more in line with the performance of your friend… Like circles, roses or skulls…

Those Meshscreens are epic but they cost a fortune. Id say your best bet is to make this from either strip (like I do) or using a sparse mesh like thishttps://http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/60-30pixels-RGB-full-color-APA102C-Flexible-LED-Pixel-Panel-Light-DC5V-panel-size-100cm-40cm/701799_32739149437.html
