LEDboard/144
This is a 9×16 LED matrix I made by hand back in 2004, with LEDs I had left over from another, even sillier project. It has a USB interface powered by a PIC16C765 microcontroller, one of the first to feature a built-in USB device interface.
This video post is something of a eulogy for the project. I have been trying to simplify and unclutter my life lately, and to that end I’ve been having to recycle, donate, or throw out a lot of things. This includes old projects of mine. This matrix was a fun way to spend a couple weekends seven years ago, but since then it’s just been taking up space in my apartment. So, before throwing it out, I thought I’d take a few pictures and make a silly video.
For what it’s worth, the firmware and PC source code are still available in Subversion.
congratulations,yours projects are fantastic and your hands are very creative.you are a special woman.:)
HELLO,I HAVE 28 YEARS OLD,I LIVE IN BOGOTA,colombia.i made and sale electronic and artistic proyects,see my youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ffip63FQZI and others.i am interesting on LED matrix proyects.i have hardware and software super simple made for me,and i survivor with this on my country.
whats is the voltaje of the led matrix for view this on SUN light????
Oh yeah!!! my final desing uses (32!!! :O) 4094 tri state latch and 9 volts to direct drive LEDS on direct sunlight….no need resistors,no need multiplexing.one layer PCB desing. hello from colombia jungle.
I want to make a 8x8x8 light cube based on arduino……but now I just make a 2x2x2 and failed…
