![]() ![]() PocketVJ 3.5 is a portable multimedia tool based off of the Rasberry Pi platform. Price / Requires MadMapper (not a terrible thing!).Limited customization (not open source). ![]() Here’s a gif from the developer of 28 miniMADs in sync. It uses Madmapper (Mac/PC) for setup, which makes it the most natural RPi projection mapper that I’ve tested. Currently, the considerable advantage that the miniMAD has over all other RPi mappers that you can Sync a lot of them over ethernet for multi-mapped installations. I’ve documented how easy it is to get up and running with the miniMAD here: but with its price point of $220 + a mad mapper license ($420 own, $42 / month rent), it may stretch your budget further than you’d like. You’ll want to plug a keyboard and mouse into the device to control it, but it boasts a wide feature load and continual developer support.

This is not a guarantee that the Pi is perfect for you, but it should come as a reassurance that they’re built to last. My longest running Pi install has been going on for 3 years now, and I have yet to replace anything more than a microSD card. I’ve been using Raspberry Pi’s for installations and various projects for years now. PocketVJ runs off of ofxPiMapper and features a web portal for control, but ofxPiMapper by itself will take a little bit of research to become proficient at it. The exception to this, the minimad, integrates with MadMapper’s software and is easier to set up. Basic Linux commands and knowledge are recommended for anyone looking to work with a Raspberry Pi. Whether you’re a projection mapping beginner or pro, the RPi may be perfect for your next project.Īs a disclaimer to this article. In this article, I’ll go over some Pi-powered options and simple setup. They’re compact, affordable, and powerful enough to handle a wide range of projects. ![]()
