Make a nighttime display in the sky with an LED Matrix attached to a drone.

Powered by a Mini Sparkle Motion board and DJI Mavic Pro, this 1x1 meter 20x20 NeoPixel LED netting can display custom animated GIFs!

The 3D printed mounts allows the drone carry and power this matrix display without any modifications to the hardware.

3D print the parts in TPU filament. The printed legs extend the height of the drone for clearance, while the TPU clips on the arms hold the nylon line attached to a stake holding the matrix net.

The Mini Sparkle Motion board runs WLED to display complex animations.

With the PixelMagic Tool, we can build custom animated GIFs to run as playlists inside of WLED. We set timing and even randomize the animation to build a creative nighttime show for events!
