Hexels is named after the hexagonal pixels that make up an individually, addressable LED matrix in the shape of a 6-pixels-per-side hexagon.

Hexels is written in C++, uploaded OTA to an ESP32, and the result of many frustrations with matrix transformations / color interpolation. For now it is hangingin my bedroom as a wall clock, although there are many possible applications and improvements that I would like to make:

• Weather montages (rain, sun, thunder) that update with the real weather
• Sky montages
  • sunrise, sunset
• Something with calendars / live updates with phone notifications
• Something with Satellite view over your current location
• A rough view of the current cape peninsular with weather/clouds
• Neural network to learn and play chess/checkers/tetris/snake/pong
• Hex based maze survival game?
• Genghis visualiser (with the bot at the centre, the rest of the world just moves round it)
• virtual lava lamp
• live updating map forproperty/car prices?
• live update of some online game?
• live update of satellites overhead/flights?
• low res memes?
• DVD logo thing, but it always hits the corners
• synced with spotify There isn't much support for a live feed from the spotify API, and I'm not sure the ESP32 could handle the processing required to render the album artwork
• Program a proper graphics renderer, with a z value to indicate depth / layers
• Make the minecraft logo?
