* 8x32 WS2812 "Neopixel" LED Matrix [Ebay](http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIYmall-WS2812-5050-8x8-16x16-8x32-RGB-Flexible-LED-Matrix-Panel-Addressable-/272760712939) [Adafruit](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2294), 8x32 APA102 "DotStar" LED Matrix can also work.

* Small Arduino-compatible board of your choice: Arduino Nano, [Flora](https://www.adafruit.com/product/659), [Feather 32u4](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2771), [Metro Mini](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2590), [Trinket Pro](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2000) all work great here. _Tip: Flora and Feather boards can handle a good amount of current and make working with lithium batteries a breeze. If you use one of these minimal hacking is required!_

* Power source: USB Battery Pack or [lithium battery](https://www.adafruit.com/product/328).

* Posterboard, wire, solder and soldering iron, tape, glue, etc.
1717
* If using a USB Battery Pack: an old USB cable you don't mind chopping up (you're going to use it for power, not data)
1818
* If using a lithium battery: a lithium [battery charger](https://www.adafruit.com/product/259)
1919
* Optional, but very helpful extra [JST connectors](https://www.adafruit.com/products/1663) (if you want to make everything detachable)

Cost: ~$120 if you buy everything retail, a lot less if you can buy bulk, do your own sourcing, or have some of the parts on hand!
