Show HN: I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display
The world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it
This project has everything: a web app, a physical controller, a custom CNC build, generated gcode, tons of fabrication, 3d modeling, 3d printing, material sourcing - so much to get lost in.

The camera, USB hub, and light are hung from the ceiling with a respectful amount of jank for the streaming phase of this project.
