Jumperless V5 Rickroll Render

I had to learn Blender just for this bit. And yes, when Jumperless V5 is out there will be some secret way to trigger this.
You'll be able to get one of these on Crowd Supply soon.
You can get the current version here (it can't do this because there's only one LED per row):

"Can it Rickroll?" is gonna replace "Can it run Doom?"

That's.. amazing

[@ryan_nstuff]

That's rad. How did you do the render?

[@arabidsquid]

This was my first time ever using Blender so I may have done this in a totally ass-backwards way; but I took in all the 3D models I already had from Fusion 360 and KiCad, then used a shader node graph setup to make each LED the averaged color of the pixels below it from the video. Totally skipped the classic "doughnut on a plate" tutorial which probably would have made this less of a pain in the ass.

Estimated Time of Release?

[@arabidsquid]

Pre-launch on Crowd Supply should be live sometime in May. Not exactly sure when it will actually be a thing in your hands, that kinda depends on people's interest. But I'm hoping you'll be able to play with one before the end of the year.
