I’ve been building a cheap servo that can run a swarm of micro‑robots. Think we can inject some digital mischief into the swarm’s algorithm?

I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.

Got it. What project do you want to tackle next?

Next up, I’m dreaming of a glitch‑inspired pixel art billboard that updates itself from random internet memes every minute. Think of it as a living meme‑generator that throws a neon splash on city corners. Ready to spin some chaotic vibes?

Sounds doable, but let’s break it down into concrete parts. First you’ll need a high‑brightness LED matrix—something like a 64×32 or 128×64 panel for that neon look, powered by a regulated 12V supply. Next, pick a microcontroller with built‑in Wi‑Fi; an ESP32 or similar will do. You’ll write a small scheduler that fires every 60 seconds, pulls a random meme via an HTTP API, caches the image in RAM or flash, and feeds it to the panel through a fast DMA or SPI bridge. You’ll also need a small RTC or just rely on the ESP32’s internal clock for timing. Make sure you throttle the requests to avoid hammering the meme service. Finally, mount the board on a sturdy frame, add a weather‑proof enclosure, and you’ve got a living billboard that will update itself with chaotic neon memes every minute. Let me know if you need specs on the panel or the code skeleton.
