Quite some time ago, I built a Space Invaders inspired Pixel Lamp and wrote a blog post about this project.

I had a lot of fun building this lamp and (since it's installed in my office) I can enjoy it almost daily. This gave me the idea of contributing this project as an article to :Make magazine. Also, as I haven't written any kind of articles for way to long now, I figured this was a great opportunity to reboot this former passion.

The articles in Make: magazine are written in German, so apologies to my non-German-speaking friends and followers.

The article:

• focusses on building the actual project
• but also gives a good overview on how to go beyond or build different things based on WLED.

In case you're interested, here's a short teaser or here is the (less detailed but English) description of the project on my blog.

Also, make sure to check out my other writing in case your are interested.
