Daft punk module – just add table

This is just an 8×8 LED matrix, but the size and execution make it look marvelous. [Michu] built this module using foam board dividers to separate the cells, a foam board back to host the 64 RGB LEDs, and a sheet of heavy frost diffusion gel that is a stage lighting product. The display is driven by a Rainbowduino with input from a processing sketch. The effects seen in the video after the break are quite pleasing, and are just begging to be installed in your next coffee table project.

@macona Daft Punk became an adjective right after “and” became an indefinite article. :)

@macona
Daft Punk has always been an adjective. It’s a sub-genre of Punk, just because somebody uses it for the name of their music..doesn’t make it any less of a description or genre. So yes, it actually is.

@macona – It’s the kinda visuals you would see at a Daft Punk show.

It’s called a daft punk table because it’s a copy/form of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfkQjGu3cBI which the creater called a daft punk table years ago.
This project seems kinda lame though because all it is doing is displaying low-bit “images” in a timed interval rather then cool visuals to the beat of the music.

toodlestech : It’s called a “Daft Punk Coffee Table” because the original model was designed by Daft Punk in 2004 for the british furniture store Habitat.

I don’t have the kind of money they charge for a “Golden Helmet”.

This ain’t Vegas.
