RGB Panel Jumbotron
b_e_n 
Introduction
If you've ever wanted to simulate live video on an array of RGB LEDs (kinda like the Jumbotron at a sports game), this tutorial is for you. Basically, we're going to take in live video from a webcam, do a little magic in Processing to translate the color values for the RGB panel, then push them out to a Teensy 3.1 Microcontroller (using the Arduino IDE), which we will program to take in the color values from Processing and turn on the proper LEDs to create a pixelated image of whatever the webcam is pointed at. Fun!
