Multivox: Open-Source Code for Driving Volumetric Displays Supporting Rotovox and Vortex Devices
By

A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
The article describes a GitHub repository called 'multivox' which contains code for driving volumetric displays. It supports two specific devices: Rotovox (higher vertical resolution and better horizontal density) and Vortex (brighter with higher refresh rate). The code was originally written for a single display and later abstracted to support multiple similar gadgets, with hardware assumptions baked into the GPIO mappings. The repository includes 3D printable parts for Vortex and appears to be a technical documentation/README for an open-source hardware project.

· 4 pulledThis is the code I currently use to drive my volumetric displays.
Rotovox has a higher vertical resolution and better horizontal density; Vortex is brighter and has a higher refresh rate.
This code was originally written for a single display, and the device specific code was later somewhat abstracted out to support a second similar gadget.
There are assumptions about the hardware that are pretty well baked in: The GPIO mappings and
