3D RGB LED Panels">
After several month of working on my PixelInvaders 3D RGB Panels I finally reached my goal: a huge and easy to assemble RGB LED Panel.
Besides the hardware, the control software was a big task. I created PixelController, a modular software ...Read More
LPD6803 Tutorial, Part 2: Simple VU Meter">
Make sure you read Part 1 of this tutorial.
In this tutorial we use a strand of 20 LPD6803 RGB LED as huge VU Meter. Processing will send serial data to the Arduino which will display it.
The source can be ...Read More
LPD6803 (Intelligent RGB Pixel Module) Tutorial, Part 1: Basics">
An LPD6803 based LED module is an "intelligent" pixel, it can memorize its color and passthrough the data and power connection. This means you can drive a lot (several thousand) intelligent pixels with just 4 cables (2x power and 2x ...Read More
I'm looking for a hosted, nice looking, easy to use and free shop system - but that's easier said than done! I still didn't found THE shop, here is my list

This is another rxtx library release based on my previous release. This new version improves the "serial event callback function" and thus reduce the library latency enormous - for more information read THIS article.
So whats the use of this updated ...Read More
Paul Stoffregen was kind enough to send my a free Teensy 2.0 sample board to analyze the Arduino serial latency issue - and this board is shocking small:
We wrote a very simple firmware to perform some basic benchmarks - Paul ...Read More
I use Processing to control my Arduino - an easy and working solution. However if you need to send alot data to the Arduino, you'll notice a 20ms delay between sending (120 bytes) and receieving (16 bytes) a serial message. ...Read More

I submitted my second entry for the Rainbowduino Carnival 2010/2011 called "ze_blinken". This entry uses my neorainbowduino firmware, the blinkenlights processing library and a Processing sketch. The sketch will show blinkenlights movies stretched on 4 RGB matrices.
If you like it ...Read More
I just uploaded my entry for the Rainbowduino Carnival contest 2010 - using the neorainbowduino firmware and a Processing sketch.
I use foamboard for the 80cm x 80cm x 20cm case and a lee filter "Heavy Frost" as a diffuser, ...Read More
The current bottleneck for my Rainbowduino project is the serial latency of the Arduino FTDI USB-Serial chip (currently 20ms round trip time from Processing to Arduino and back). There are some OS specific driver tweaks to improve the latency - ...Read More
RGB Led Matrix">
I did it! After more than 20 hours of soldering, my 64cm*64cm RGB Led Matrix is finally finished! The Matrix is using 64 RGB Led's (=256 solder joints) using 10mm diffused RGB Led's from evilmadscientist.com. The case is build with ...Read More
