Creating Art with a Raspberry Pi
summary
A home installation that actually works: a web UI built with React and React Native sends pixel data to a Raspberry Pi hosting a Python driver for a 64-LED Unicorn HAT; messages travel via Socket.IO real-time relay through a Heroku server. Milestones: one LED, then multiple single-color, then full 64-color frames. Later extension uses an Adafruit Feather controlling NeoPixel strips for a Wi‑Fi LED shirt. Building flow and soldering succeed; project is deployed and demonstrable.
