Come along to the workshop in The Forge and learn how to code hardware, create pixel art and compete for the honour of winning in front of a large audience – and a 3D printer!
Spice up your setup and learn how to program a microcontroller in the ”64 pixels with 46elks” competition, which we’re organising with our friends at 46elks.
Here you can pick up an 8×8 pixel panel with an associated microcontroller to code your ”inner glow”. There is a limited number of spaces and panels to work with, so it's first come, first served.
This is how it's done
- Sign up: Fill in your name and mobile number 6446.se. You will receive a code via SMS to verify your number and confirm your location.
- Collect your panel: You can collect your 8×8 LED panel and microcontroller from the workshop in room The Forge on Glitched 2026.
- Ignite your inner glow: On-site, we'll go through the basics of how to make a panel blink, scroll, and animate. Bring your own idea or come up with one on the spot.
- Show off your work: Upload a video and photos to your personal page (6446.se/p/your-link). Your contributions will then be displayed on the big screen during the event.
The workshop and competition are organised in collaboration with 46elks and is held in the workshop in LAN district The Forge. Anyone with a LAN ticket, Festival Pass or Parent Pass is welcome to join in!
