Display Your Team’s Slack Messages on a Scrolling Marquee

Super into this project from Chris Buttery on Hackster.io. Definitely a better alternative to an accidentally unmuted “PING!”

Looking for something IoT and humorous that I could incorporate into the workspace, I thought about how I could combine our team’s Slack app with a Photon-powered scrolling marquee. The device firmware will loop any message twice. An existing message will be overwritten by a new message.

This project was originally inspired by ‘Smart LED Matrix for Particle Photon:’ https://www.hackster.io/oz1051/smart-led-matrix-for-particle-photon-144b27
