WiFi LED Matrix Gif Player
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I'm hoping you could help write some Arduino code that will download a gif from a static URL and then display it on an LED Matrix.
I have this kit from Adfruit, https://www.adafruit.com/product/4812, and the board has WiFi and can run Arduino. It meant to connect to the LED Matrix that comes in the kit.
Adfruit has a tutorial and some code for getting the board to play gifs, but it only plays gifs from the local storage. As stated, I'd like to download and display gifs on the fly. I've been able to get the tutorial to work but would like to have the program check a URL and download the gif then display it on the LED Matrix
