The idea behind the pixels
A little company for your desk.
A glance tells you something is happening. A character gives it a little personality. VibeMatrix explores what an AI workspace can feel like beyond the screen.

The pixels
Two Waveshare panels · 128 × 32 combined
Parts & build notes
Two Waveshare RGB LED panels
RGB-Matrix-P2.5-64x32-B panels, each with 64 × 32 pixels and 2.5 mm pixel spacing. Side by side, they make a 128 × 32 display with a nominal 320 × 80 mm panel area, before the enclosure.
The B variant has a protective GOB (Glue On Board) coating over the LEDs. The panels connect through HUB75.

Waveshare ESP32-S3 · USB-connected
Parts & build notes
Waveshare ESP32-S3-RGB-Matrix
The ESP32-S3-N32R16 board drives the panels, with 32 MB flash and 16 MB PSRAM. The board has 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi; the current live display uses USB from the computer.

A separate speaker
Waveshare includes an 8 Ω / 5 W speaker with the controller. It connects to the ES8311 audio output for short notification sounds; sound behaviour is still being refined.
The shell

Parts & build notes
A 3D-printed enclosure, in progress
The purple printed top and sides are now on the physical display, alongside its desk supports. The latest photos show the current prototype; the complete build is still being finished and tested.
Power, connections & testing limits
Power and the rest of the kit
The development kit includes a 5 V / 4 A EU adapter, HUB75 connections and panel power cabling. I received three panels: two for the bar and one for tests or a spare. A USB connection links the controller to the computer. The controller has an RTC backup-battery connector; Waveshare does not list a battery in its package.
The 20 W adapter is part of my development hardware, not a confirmed full-brightness power recommendation for two panels. Their combined specified maximum is 24 W before the controller, so the final power setup is still being validated.

Set the mood.
Try a scene. Quiet things down. Give the pixels a voice. A local control panel is taking shape alongside the hardware.

Try a scene before it goes live
The Demo studio offers eight scenes: subscriber and follower celebrations, GitHub stars, YouTube comments and channel goals. Each preview uses example data for 24 seconds, then returns to live. Trying a demo does not change the real account totals.
Set the mood, or give it a voice
Choose quieter desk animations or a more animated showcase, adjust brightness and volume, mute sound or enable optional working sounds. A short English message can be turned into speech locally on the computer and played through the matrix speaker when the USB display is connected.
One place to choose what is on screen
The panel includes Social Matrix for social counts and celebrations, and VibeMatrix for agents, quota and pixel characters. Solelkollen is also shown as a planned view, with its data source still waiting to be connected.
A pairing flow is being built for control from a phone or another computer on the local network. This is part of my private prototype, with no public control-panel download yet.
