Catalyze Chicago is a non-profit co-working space for hardware focused startups in Chicago, Illinois.
Our downstairs office space, home to the majority of our tenants, includes two large windows made of glass blocks. As time went on these blocks started to look more and more like pixels.
After a healthy application of Adafruits NeoPixels (over 4,000), our own custom PCBs, and Micah Scotts FadeCandy boards we created our own 32 x 6 LED marquee.
