# Web Enabled PIXEL on Raspberry Pi ## Overview [The PIXEL kit from LED:ART consists of an RGB LED matrix, a IOIO Mint Bluetooth microcontroller to drive the matix, and some software to give instructions to the IOIO for what to display.](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1357) Originally, only an Android and PC based software was available.  Now, web based controls are available, via a Java application.  Web based controls means that platforms with a modern browser are supported; iStuff, Android, PC, Tablet, and others.  The Web applicaion is started from the command line. Being able to run from the command line allows for use as a background service/daemon.  This approch is also ideal for setting up headless envronments (no monitor attached to the mother board), where the hardware profile needs to be as slim as possible. PIXEL comes pre-bundled with some still and animated images.  On first run, the images are extracted to pixel/ under the user's home directory. Once the hardware is assembled, and the software running, the PIXEL Web controls are availble to any computer on the same network as the Raspberry Pi. Here is a video showing some of the available animations:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMMqp370_K0 - [Next Page](https://learn.adafruit.com/web-enabled-pixel-on-raspberry-pi/hardware.md) ## Featured Products ### PIXEL Guts Kit - Bluetooth Controlled 32x32 RGB LED Matrix Kit [PIXEL Guts Kit - Bluetooth Controlled 32x32 RGB LED Matrix Kit](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1357) Control a 32x32 LED matrix with your Android, PC, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, or BeagleBone Black with the **Pixel Guts Kit V2.5**! Simply use PIXEL’s free apps and send images, GIF animations, scrolling text, Twitter feeds, and your own pixel art creations in minutes, no...
