The LCD display alone is already bigger than my complete controller I’m not a fan of the large Arduino MEGA and the LCD Display shield as it makes the device unnecessarily large, so I decided to swap some parts. Hardware wise I think it is a bit dated and way too big. Luckily, Michael Ross already built something like this and it has some of the features, that I want. As I have never handled the real thing, I don’t know the exact laundry list of features it has, but I do know the exact features I would want in a device like this: It weighs 1.6kg, has a nice display to select files, has a remote release and runs on eight AA batteries. The Pixelstick is a 188cm RGB lightstrip on a stick that plays bitmap files. I have always wanted one to at least try out some light painting with it, but the original Pixelstick retails for 400 Euro here in Germany. ![]() “Nothing compares” is one of their tag lines. I think Pixelstick has the potential of completely revolutionizing photography.You might have heard of the Pixelstick. It has an initial price tag of $250, and the creators, Bitbanger Labs, aim to raise as much as $110 000 on Kickstarter. As in the 4th picture, multiple images can be queued up or compressed onto one another. An example of the afore-mentioned concept is posted below:Īll first three images are produced at three different speeds of rotation of Pixelstick. If moved slowly, a different design is produced, and if moved swiftly, a different design is produced, and then there is the gray area between the two. The designs that can be created with Pixelstick depend on how fast or slow the stick is moved or rotated. The Pixelstick also has a handle that allows the Pixelstick to rotate or spin on its axis, rendering endless possibilties of designs. Flash by Flash, the image is burned or created on the snap shot. Moreover, pictures can be super-imposed on one another producing aesthetic and more complex designs that are impossible to create in an image. How it works is that Pixelstick creates one vertical line at a time, and the design is created over multiple time-frames in the extended time lapse of a snap shot, and then the picture is compiled rendering a design or a portrait. The device has a “brain” that lives in a small box attached to the device, an SD card reader, and a handheld controller. The RGB LEDs are the “pixels” of the image itself, and they give Pixelstick a “lightsaber” look from “Stars Wars.” Yes it glows quite like the “lightsaber,” but with different colors rather than just one uniform color. Colloquially, Pixelstick is a stick with pixels Pixelstick is a 6′ aluminium bar with 198 RGB LEDs embedded evenly along the bar’s entire length. Pixelstick is a new Kickstarter project that promises to allow users create complex designs that were deemed impossible in former times. However, Pixelstick is about to make ground-breaking changes in the realm of “light painting.” However intriguing and captivating “light painting” is, it has not undergone substantial advancement because it is fairly difficult to make accurate designs that the painter intends to make. Light painting is an art form that dates more than hundred years back. This has led to the coining of the term “light painting,” and has begotten a new form of art. As a result, the camera gathers/accumulates lights for longer periods of time in order to render a brighter picture, but if sources of light move within that time frame of snap-shot, the picture appears smudged, and it seems as if someone has produced a trail of light on the picture with glowing ink. The result is effected by configuring the camera to yield a slow shutter speed. “Light painting” has always been a “thing” for amateur photographers, which when taking pictures at night find, serendipitously, mind you, tracks of lingering colors that seem to emanate from light sources that are captured in the image. ![]()
