### Which firmware should I use?
6969
If you don't have a hardware controller (like ArtNet or E1.31) and would like to use an Arduino/Teensy microcontroller you can choose between different firmwares.

* If you bought a (http://shop.pixelinvaders.ch/product/pixelinvaders-diy-basic-pack)[PixelInvaders DIY Kit], use the `integration/ArduinoFw/pixelinvaders/neoLedLPD6803Spi` firmware

* If you bought a [PixelInvaders DIY Kit](http://shop.pixelinvaders.ch/product/pixelinvaders-diy-basic-pack), use the `integration/ArduinoFw/pixelinvaders/neoLedLPD6803Spi` firmware
7171
* If you want to create a ONE panel matrix with an arbitrary resolution, use the `integration/ArduinoFw/tpm2serial` firmware
7272
* If you want to create multiple 8x8 panels, use the `integration/ArduinoFw/pixelinvaders/neoLedWS2801Spi` firmware

I recommend a Teensy 2.0 microcontroller, as some Arduino boards suffer from bad serial latency (especially the Arduino UNO r3). You need to install the Arduino IDE, see the "Getting started with Arduino" (http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage) Tutorial.

You need to know how to install an Arduino Library (http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries). For PixelInvaders Panels (LPD6803) install the `integration/ArduinoFw/libraries/timer1` and `integration/ArduinoFw/libraries/neophob_lpd6803spi` libraries, for other panels (WS2801, WS281x...) install the `integration/ArduinoFw/libraries/FastSPI_LED2` library.

* PixConCli: Command Line Interface for PixelController, works also remote. The CLI tool is called `PixConCli.cmd` on Windows and `PixConCli.sh` on Linux/OSX.
154155
* OSC: The OSC interface of PixelController is listening (by default) on port 9876. Processing examples are included how to communicate with PixelController via OSC protocol. Or create your own interfaces, for example with the great TouchOSC application or using PureData or MaxDSP.
