Every now and then, you'll find a maker with an itch to spruce up their hardware with a Raspberry Pi and we're all for it. Today we're showing off a cool server rack upgrade put together by maker and developer Aforsberg, as they're known as over at Printables, that uses a Raspberry Pi Pico to power a cool LED matrix setup that looks like the WOPR (War Operation Plan Response) computer from the 1983 movie War Games.
The movie, the WOPR computer has a really specific aesthetic with a key feature being a matrix panel of LEDs that appear to randomly change. Aforsberg decided it would be fun to implement a panel like this on their server rack and opted to create it from scratch using our favorite microcontroller, the Raspberry Pi Pico.
