RGB Matrix - Script for Choosing Color?

Hello! I have a project coming up, and I'm wondering if I should use QLC+ or a different program. Here's what I'm trying to do:

I have a matrix of 36x20 RGB pixels, and I want a script to make each pixel change color every second, choosing 1 of maybe 4 different colors, or blank. So have a script that says "Randomly assign color 1, 2, 3, 4 or no color" for each individual pixel, that refreshes all pixels every 1 second.

Is this something that is possible with QLC+? With scripts maybe, or using a Raspberry Pi? Is there a different program that could make this happen?

Thanks!

Hey,

for one channel/fixture this is definitely possible with scripts and loopback. Since there are no for-loops possible in the scripts yet, you have to copy & paste this to all of your ~700 pixels which you probably don't want.

If you have some programming knowledge you can also write your own pattern script for the RGB matrix.

Using Raspberry Pi everything is possible ;) Just depends on how much you are willing to fiddle around with it...
