01 / Problem statement
A training wall deserved a more accessible brain.
Popular climbing-board systems use illuminated holds to guide a route, but proprietary hardware can make the experience expensive to reproduce at home. This project began with a clear challenge: create a driver capable of bringing the same responsive visual language to a personal wall at a fraction of the cost.
02 / Solution implementation
A purpose-built driver for a custom wall.
I developed an LED-matrix driver that could map individual holds, manage the required channels, and make routes easy to read at a glance. The work pairs the practical electronics needed to operate the matrix with a layout that can grow alongside the wall itself.
Design principle
Build capability without building in friction.
Every choice supports a simple goal: make it easier to spend time climbing and less time thinking about the technology behind the wall.
03 / Outcome
A flexible platform for the next training session.
The project establishes an approachable path to a responsive home climbing experience. More than an LED controller, it is a working prototype that connects hardware design, cost-conscious decisions, and the everyday use case that inspired it.
