xbox light mod

in response to last week’s basic stamp howto, steve ries sent in a nice looking xbox mod.

I recently made that crazy “light mod” you spoke of at the end of the article, except it was for my xbox. Check it out and let me know what you think. I even have video links on that web page, as well as the source for the stamp if anyone wants to try it out.

the lightshow he was able to create is pretty fantastic. someone hack this to start up every time one of the controllers is set to vibrate!

Magnificent, I followed the “read” link and watched the lights in the dark and in the light.

Just saw the videos, and that’s pretty darn cool.

Nice job mounting the LEDs too. Very clean.
Put some tri-colors in there and man, you could celebrate every holiday of the year just about!

Great job!
