![]() (To be practical though- most recommend keeping it under about 17,000 pixels, which is 51000 channels.(!) I also set up a “virtual matrix”, which uses HD video to emulate a large/high-resolution matrix of any size you want. I have the projector plugged in to the RPi’s HDMI port, and configured it in FPP. I won’t get into all of the details, as there are lots of resources online, but basically what I did was set up another Raspberry Pi as a “Remote” FPP (Falcon Pi Player) device. As it is- the wrinkles can’t really be seen from any kind of a distance anyway. ![]() I did use a heat gun (or you could use a hair dryer) to try to smooth it out, but I found it to be ridiculously heat sensitive, so you need to be very careful. I’m hoping the sun shining in the window for much of the day will take most of the wrinkles out. One bit of advice- don’t use “High Temp” hot-melt glue. The window already had a curtain rod above it that just happened to fit the pipe, making hanging it a breeze. The screen itself is the shower curtain hot-glued to PVC pipe. The water bottle holder on the bike also provided a great place to put the Raspberry Pi controller (in the black plastic case). The Vankyo Leisure 3 has tripod threads on the bottom, making this really-really easy. ![]() Obviously a regular tripod would probably be best, but in my case- I had one of those flexible-leg tripod things, and the exercise bike was in the perfect spot for this. Projector on a cheap flex-tripod, mounted to a dusty exercise bike. So, in a nutshell- here is what my setup looks like. Based on another recommendation I found online, I made one using a white EVA shower curtain! I know it seems silly, but I used to do corporate AV- and this thing works as well as rear projection screens costing $100 or more! Here is an Amazon link, but really- you can find them at any big-box store as-well. I got one for $75 on-sale last week from Amazon, although they are usually around $100. Someone on one of the forums I’m on mentioned these: So- I decided to try a rear-projection setup.įirst up- the projector. I also wanted to try out a Virtual Matrix, since it just wasn’t going to be practical to build a large enough one this year for what I wanted to do. A few of the sequences I downloaded/purchased this year actually have video files.
