Loading 3D model… large boards can take a moment.
Luxigrid is a WiFi-enabled LED matrix for your desk, compatible with an ecosystem of 25+ apps and counting.
The hardware and software are open-source, so you can build one yourself. Or buy one pre-assembled or as a kit from our website!
If you're looking for help setting up your Luxigrid, we've assembled a Quick Start Guide with answers to your most common questions and troubleshooting help.
View the latest version of the Quick Start Guide.
For technical support, you can also contact us on our website. Please note that we only provide official support for products purchased from our website. But we'd be happy to chat with you, regardless of whether you've purchased a Luxigrid from our website, or built your own from scratch.

The process of assembling your own Luxigrid is fairly intensive, but should be documented well enough to be a fair challenge. If you're building one from scratch, you'll need to have purchased the parts from the Bill of Materials, have access to a 3D Printer, and be comfortable with soldering. It's not too difficult, as far as these sorts of electronics projects go, but it may not be for the faint of heart.
Alternatively, you can purchase a Luxigrid in kit form or pre-assembled from our website.
The Luxigrid software is split into two semi-distinct components - the C++ firmware that resides on the ESP32, and the HTML/CSS/JavaScript-based web interface that runs on your browser. Since the ESP32 also acts as a web server, there is a level of integration involved. But the most complicated part of the software is its ability to support an arbitrary number of apps. Only one app can be installed on a Luxigrid at a time, and each app must be compiled separately (with its own firmware and web interface). But apps can be swapped between on the fly, thanks to the ESP32's Over-The-Air (OTA) update capability.
Needless to say, the underlying setup to make all of this work is pretty complex. And there are still potential areas for improvement. But we've done what we can to document the process.
Alternatively, you can download the latest compiled versions of the available apps from the official Luxigrid App Store, or the GitHub Releases page.

The following projects have served as direct inspiration for parts of the Luxigrid firmware.
That's right. Luxigrid's 3D-printed parts were designed with free and open-source software!
This excellent 3D model was used as the basis for the desk mount. Our modified version is a bit taller, and uses an M4 bolt instead of an M5.
These helpful tutorial creators have served as invaluable references during various parts of the concept, design, and production phases of this project. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
These are some of the hardware projects and commercial products that have served as indirect inspirations for the development of Luxigrid. There were times when it seemed impractical to complete, but the existence of these projects gave us hope that it could be done. Hopefully this project can serve as such an inspiration to others. Your dreams may not be so unachievable, after all! :)
