THE BUILD / THREE PARTS OF ONE SYSTEM
A controller.
A node. A flock.
Build the controller that brings it together. Bring one panel to
life.
Then choose the shape and scale of your swarm.

The controller
Build, flash and commission the Korvo touchscreen host.
HARDWARE · ENCLOSURE · FIRMWARE · ROSTERA single panel
Pair a HUB75 matrix with its own ESP32, then flash and verify it.
PANEL · ESP32 · MEMORY · FIRST LIGHTAssemble the swarm
Choose a layout, calculate its power needs and bring the nodes together.
LAYOUT · POWER CALCULATOR · DISTRIBUTION · NETWORKOur reference build is a 4×4 arrangement: enough variation in behaviours to approximate a real swarm. The physical idea is modular — rows, columns, clusters or another combination. Sixteen is a research choice, not a rule about the shape.
The current controller implementation uses a 16-node roster and 4×4 interface. Different sizes may need firmware and interface changes. The power calculator can explore larger arrangements without claiming they are supported by the current code.
