Hi All,

Given the popularity and relative inexpense of LED Matrixes, I am starting to do much more with various sizes and configuratrions ( combining, etc.. ) and learning (painfully) JavaScript to start to make some new things. Was wondering if there were other JavaScript programmers that were or had done such .. and if there's desire for more of these. I will be PR'ing all the ones I create .. as well as some updates for existing ;) And was hoping others had done some so we can expand our matrix tooling. If you've got interest .. please ping me and lets see what we can do to expand our library!

I am not a programmer but had some ideas/wishes for rgb matrix scripts, so i'll back up your idea :-)

Hey @sandinak,
this is a pretty old thread but I'm wondering if anything came out of this? I just started writing a RGBMatrix script and I think it's pretty straightforward, although I'm missing modern language features. Sure there is the documentation but I guess that only a subset is being interpreted here, or at least a pretty old EcmaScript standard of it.
I'm especially trying to reference other local JSON files and i've tried via import, require and fetch. While the browser-based dev tool does whatever the browser does when interpreting these things (like giving me CORS errors :/), Qlc+ just won't show the script as soon as I try using one of these.
So yeah, I'd be very interested to learn more about this and also about your plans with it.
Cheers, Nik

I have written a few and gonna write a few more :) Massimo has even merged a few, so I do recommend codifying your ideas.
