matelight controller

Games for matelight WLED display with doorbell support.

This will run games on a 10x20 or 20x12 Matelight display. This program will communicate with the Matelight WLED controller with UDP on port 21324. It can either communicate with the WLED controller on a static IP or find the IP of the WLED controller with MDNS. It will use a USB joystick for input.
