CheerLCD Displays the Latest CheerLights Color on your Desktop

Milwaukee Makerspace member, Pete, created a new desktop version of CheerLights. With CheerLCD, all you have to do is plug it into an open USB port. Once connected, CheerLCD displays the latest CheerLights color and messages on an embedded RGB LCD screen. The LCD screen is amplified by a 3D printed Christmas tree.

The results are beautiful as you can see! We also love that it has a little Perl programming to allow the CheerLCD display connect to the CheerLights API.

CheerPaper - sync your desktop wallpaper to @cheerlights

[Stephen Wattam] created CheerPaper to change his desktop computer’s background to sync up with the @cheerlights project. When the colors change on CheerLights, the background image on your computer also changes to match. This is a really neat way to join in on the project. We are all connected!
