Some time ago in the local pub we had an idea...
What about drinking tray for all?

Here are some results:

90% of Hardware and software developed during 48 hours, including solidworks drawings, raspberry pi control scripts, arduino+grbl tuning and of course 64 WS2812 LED tray powered by propeller.
Propeller part developed by JDat. What special? Serial link (bluetooth have lot of latency uses) 115_200 bit/sec (theoretical 355_000 bit/sec). Up to 70 fps (if I remember correctly) realtime display. Up to 112 frames EEPROM storage for autonomous operation. Battery powered system for 45 minutes work. Data can be uploaded to storage while realtime frames are displayed. Can be interfacet to near realtime with M$ Paint (thanks for video Rachel Rayns from Rapsberry Pi UK).

That was crasy 48 hours. We made lot of field tests for shot machine.

    Pure Estonian genius, guys! Congrats on a great team effort in record time. What a fantastic and memorable device, I hope your invention was the judges' favorite. Best use of a Propeller yet. :)

    Since it's a hybrid, is it a Pi-Peller or a Pro-Pi-ler?

    Well... Correction: Latvians in Estonia. :D We got "best technology".

    Maybe PiPellerUno? Because Arduino for stepper motors.
