What's Ventilastation?

It's an open source game console with an odd display, for creating and playing circular video games.
Fully designed, published and built in Argentina.

The evolution of Super Ventilagon (2015), it builds on its predecesor's circular display by adding sprite based 8-bit like graphics, and super easy programmability with Micropython.

An ESP32 chip plus 107 leds,
spinning at 600RPM

The code for the games is bolted to the propeller of a big-ass fan.

Slip Ring

Power supply and data signals coss thru a Slip Ring towards the base, that uses a Raspberry Pi to play back the game music and sound effects.

Open Source
and Open Hardware

If you have a washing machine or a fan you are no longer using, you can build your own Ventilastation. Find more in our Github repository.
