936: Realtime LED Wall With React + Websockets (I Let Strangers Control It)

Wes details his Hackweek project, a real-time web-controlled LED grid, discussing its hardware components like the LED grid, microcontroller (ESP32), and 3D-printed diffuser, as well as the software side involving Cloudflare Durable Objects, PartyKit, and web sockets for real-time drawing. He explains how users can interact with the grid through a web app, displaying things like GitHub contributions, and dives into the technical challenges of managing power, data limits, and communication protocols (WebSocket, HTTP, UDP) to optimize performance, while Scott and CJ offer insights and ask clarifying questions about the project's intricacies and potential applications.
