This makes it very straightforward to retrieve data from all sensors and transmit them to external systems. The Rhiot team has also developed the first implementation of the rhiot camel-framebuffer component, which now enables pushing images directly to the 8x8 pixel screen. Note that the matrix consists of 8x8 RGB565 LEDs (2 bytes per pixel), providing a colorful display despite its small size. ...
