Flexible LED Matrix
This flexible LED matrix was designed to be operated standalone. It consists of 64 LEDs, controlled by an ATtiny85 and two AHC595 shift registers.
An animation can be loaded on the ATtiny, and then whenever power is applied it will display that animation. I have used a solar panel to power it in my project book. It uses traditional row-scanning techniques to display the animations.
