Worlds Largest Open-Source Ferrofluid Display - Fetch #8

Fetch is DONE! This is huge for us. We've now spent two years working on our open-source ferrofluid display as a side project to full-time studies and part-time jobs. We've compiled a series of sweet sweet animations and spent a long time perfecting this video. We hope you enjoy it! Since last time we've hidden the cable chaos. For the initial version of “Fetch“ we wanted to use laser cut plywood as a chassis, because it's a very replicable and simple solution. We will look into a making a neater metal finish in the next version, which will be considerably sleeker, for an even cleaner look. We make the animations in Aseprite, a powerful and free* pixel art editor, and parse them into a format we've found easy to read on the Teensy 3.6 that's at the heart of the platform. (*As long as you can compile the source code yourself. ) Future projects : While Fetch is now complete, we are not done working with ferrofluid, or electronics for
