Challenge 2 - Subtask 1 and 2

  1. About Pinout:

“Could you clarify the pinout for tasks 1 and 2? Specifically, which GPIO pins are used, and where are they connected on the robot?”


  1. About the LED Matrix Layout:

“What is the LED arrangement for the WS matrix? Does it go row-wise (left to right) or column-wise (top to bottom then right)? I need this to implement the LED sequence correctly in the ESP firmware. (I believe it’s mentioned in the GitHub repo — said that ‘There will be a diagram of the LED matrix here, showing the order of pixels in the chain’)”


  1. About Gaps Between LEDs:

“Is there any physical gap between the LED matrix pins or between the LEDs themselves that I should be aware of?”

Thank you in advanced!

Like in the Challenge 2 sensors topic, Challenge 2 is no more, but for the sake of completness:

  • GPIO pinout was scheduled for roughly two weeks from now
  • same as the LED Matrix Layout
  • yes - there was a gap planned - but more importantly - we’ve ran some tests already and… we planned on providing multiple options for both separating pixels with some sort of matrix, diffusers for making shapes of the pixels slightly more uniform and ones that black-out pixels a bit (as it may improve contrast in daylight)
