Somewhat related topic: anyone used something like the Luxedo to do a projection mapping? It seems like it’s more complicated and expensive but I love the idea of doing something cool to the house for Halloween and Christmas without having to lug out a ton of lights and decorations.

There are several open source projection mapper projects that run on a RaspPi, or other platforms, here are a few of them:

https://github.com/arisona/mpm

https://ofxpimapper.com/

https://mapmapteam.github.io/

There are media players and graphics generators that will run on a RaspPi also. Finding a bright enough projector and sheltering it for outdoor use might be the main challenge.

Another approach might be a galvo scanned laser with DMX software to control it, though there may be safety/liability issues with that.

I‘m fascinated by these projection setups ever since I learned they’re a thing! But Jesus is the Luxedo stuff pricey?! I’d love to learn about something similar but in a kinda OSS/DIY kind of style…
