Project Mc2 Pixel Purse

As a grown man, carrying around a hot-pink purse toy isn’t exactly up my alley. As a purse, it’s unusable. The body is cheap, hard plastic and there is barely enough room to hold a small phone. As someone who isn’t and has never been a young girl, I guess this could be cool as a toy if they’re into the show or like techy gadgets. But, like others here, the LED matrix display is what I bought this for. Thankfully, it’s very easy to remove and modify. There isn’t much logic on the display itself, though. You’ll be writing data and multiplexing manually. The included controller board is a no-name Microcontroller, so you’ll probably want to use an Arduino or raspberry pi to control this. Another bummer is that the on-board shift registers for the display only have Chinese documentation. But, if you’ve got an oscilloscope and/or logic analyzer ready, reverse engineering the pins isn’t a huge task.
