Another really cool project controlled by the Arduino… This one also uses the TLC 5940 controller.

Can this one get tagged arduino hacks ?

The link that he has to hook the arduino to the TLC 5940 is excellent!

Of course, getting the source and schematic for this project would be sweet as well!

Would be a nice bit of wall art, you can be creative and think of a new pattern whenever you want, and have an interesting conversation piece.

@firetech I posted the source code and a link to some pics of the guts on my blog, if you want to check it out.

I think a 16 bit version is the obvious next step. Plus it would look even cooler.

(also… cool project!)

No… you’re not… but I have a love/hate relationship with electronic devices and DIY tech.. I love this DIY thing, but I am hating the ease of electronics; it’s simple to make some thing simple look more complex than it really is. I have done the same for projects I have worked on… my thoughts are that he did a fairly good implementation, but that is the interesting part; the rest is generally unimportant and on whole it’s not a terribly interesting project.
Of course, an other thing to remember is that opinions really are meaningless if the artist is satisfied with their own work (and isn’t relying on sales to make money.)
;-)

I have to agree that the implementation was well done.

Hey, cool post. My Dad and I were discussing this just the other day, and he had some weird ideas! lol Are you going to extend this? I would love to learn more :)
