Hi everyone! 👋
I recently built **GlowGrid** ([https://glowgrid.nodes.ro](https://glowgrid.nodes.ro)), a platform for the **Pico Unicorn Pack** , and I’m getting ready to launch it on Product Hunt.
Since Pimoroni’s hardware is at the heart of this project, I wanted to share it with the community.
My goal is to build an **open platform** that makes it easy for anyone to program hardware devices with custom functionality. At the moment, GlowGrid supports the **Pico 2 W** and the **Pico Unicorn Pack**.
The project is still in its early stages, and I’d really appreciate any feedback.
This first iteration focuses on making it easy to get started with a bare Pico 2 W and the Unicorn Pack. It also includes a **Board Designer** (as the first application on the platform), where users can create pixel art and custom layouts. GlowGrid can generate the corresponding MicroPython code and deploy it directly to the board through a simple web interface(wireless if using Chrome or usb-direct for other browsers).
My goal is to make the entire development experience as accessible and simple as possible.
You can try it here:
> **[GlowGrid — Program Library](https://glowgrid.nodes.ro)**
Zero cloud dependency. Fully open architecture. Simple.
Looking forward to make accessible the process of turning ideas into hardware experiences.
A big thank you to the Pimoroni team for creating such a fun piece of hardware to build with!
Catalin
