What is The Matrix?
🕑 Added 2018-06-19 02:14:35 +0000 UTC Here's a short introductory video about the very simple and very inexpensive Max7219 LED matrix which Marlin can use to display useful information about the status of your printer in real-time.I got two of these units recently and have been making some improvements in Marlin to support them better and add more capabilities. They're a great addition at a very low cost.
I think all the cool printers will have them one day….

East Coast RepRap Festival is next weekend. I'll be doing a short keynote, talking about the history of open source hardware, the 10th anniversary of RepRap, and the challenges of maintaining Marlin Firmware. I hope to see you there!

The 4 long version of these matrix displays have gotten really cheap from the china suppliers, under $5 shipped. This is really cool.
I think these are cool. :)
