I was asked to join the Microsoft Coding4Fun team this year at Maker Faire. The project I came up with was multiplexing several stock store bought signs and display full motion video from a webcam on them… Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to do full motion with stock parts, so it evolved into a “LED photobooth.”
The signs are BetaBrite Prisms, the software is written in c#.
The software is driven by many c# examples derived from the web:
- Jeff Atwood’s BetaBrite API ported to c# by Clint Rutkas
- DirectShow DxSnap example
- All tied together with my code to multiplex and splice images.
It was two very long days.
Yer hot! Wanna go to the mall and get dippin’ dots with me sometime? Cinnabon?
