Join us on this exciting journey as we merge art with technology to bring the Zandvoort Racing Circuit to life. Our project combines the beauty of PCB Art with the precision of electronics, all powered by firmware written in Rust running on a ESP32.
Even though, at Jitter, we mostly work on sensor systems and industrial electronics, sometimes we make some time for a fun side project. In 2024 we set out to create a unique combination of PCB Art and working electronics to create a cool Formula 1 inspired LED display of the Zandvoort Racing Circuit in the Netherlands. We have experimented with PCB Art before, but this was the first time that we combined it with working electronics and firmware written in Rust.
Formula 1 fans will immediately recognize the shape of the circuit. Similar to the tracker during the Grand Prix broadcasts, it can show the location of the cars on track. Besides that it can of course be programmed to show anything you want. The source code is freely available on github.
We’re very happy with the result. Our production partners at Elecrow helped us by picking this super unique light blue Solder Mask color.
We have created a new brand called LEDSRACE. Our vision is to transform traditional PCBs into interactive art that captivates and inspires.

In May 2025 we will launch a Kickstarter campaign to make this design available for anyone that is interested. We will raise funds for the production round of the LEDSRACE PCB. Go to the LEDSRACE Kickstarter Page and subscribe to profit from the Early Bird discounts as long they are available.

We will be posting more content, firmware, and other updates on Instagram, Kickstarter, and on this website.
