What started off as trash in the street, then became disused trash in a friend's garden after they ran out of space for it, has become a shiny new 2D LED Matrix wall in Birkenhack after a good cleanup in the sink. There are five ingredients to this LED Matrix wall:

1. Plastic Bottles
2. Standard British Milk Crates
3. Tinfoil
4. LEDs
5. Esp32 running #WLED software

So we have about a million of these LEDs at @xHain_hackspace and I'm thinking of using an HT16K33 board I still have flying around to control a 16x8 LED matrix.

Wondering how I should arrange them, vertically or horizontally - anyone any opinions? I want to make some digits for a clock or text ticker.
