Mate Light
What is the Mate-Light
The Mate-Light is a giant pixel display. It has 640 pixels and a resolution of 40x16.
Can I display my own messages on the Mate-Light
Yes, please do so.
Connect to Mate-Light using Telnet:
- matelight.rocks, TCP port 1337
- or matelight.visitor.congress.ccc.de
There is even an App for that (Android only).
How can I send my own pictures to the Mate-Light
Create a 1923 bytes long array containing the following:
- 1920 bytes containing the RGB colors for each pixel [R1, G1, B1, R2, G2, B2, ... , R640, G640, B640], 8 bits per color.
- 3 null bytes for obvious reasons ;-)
Send this array as one single UDP datagram to:
- matelight.rocks, UDP port 1337
- or matelight.visitor.congress.ccc.de, UDP port 1337
Where can I find out more?
