Based on Arduino, it performs electronic light games by piloting a LED matrix thanks to a special multiplexing mode. In the “fast paced world” we live, moments when we can do whatever we want are rare and we have to cut them out from our routine, by skillfully balancing between the busy…
Blinky Buildings v1 Blinky Buildings is a simple kit to teach people how to make derivatives of open source hardware. You are welcome to create a derivative of this kit as long as it abides by the open source hardware definition. This kit blinks 20 LEDs from an ATtiny85. The code was written in Arduino…
Researchers at Arizona State University have created the world’s first white laser beam, according to a new study published in Nature. More work needs to be done to perfect this technology, but white lasers could serve as a potential alternative light source — both in people’s homes and in the screens of their electronics. Lasers…
Alicia Gibb, founder of the Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA), had created also an astounding product, funding now on Kickstarter. I had a great passion for LEGO, thanks to my imagination I could live true adventures with my creations… but one thing was missing to bring them to real life: the light! Now, with Alicia’s…
A new Open Source took to find you way into design new wearable gadgets and experiences is looking for funding on kickstarter. Despite the challenging goal, it looks like the project may be on track to achieve its objectives! What is MeU? What if you could communicate instantly with your immediate surroundings? Informing those around you to…
OMG. This project needs to be backed even only for the AMAZING song this father and son put together. Can’t miss. Bluetooth hackable Christmas lights. Hassle-free setup and easy-to-use smart phone app. Any light, any color, any time. Creating amazing, dynamic holiday displays is about to get a lot easier. Dancing LEDs are strings of…
Since when white light emitting high brightness LED are available, the handover from traditional lighting bulbs to the solid-state lighting has become irreversible: LEDs have an efficiency (expressed in lumens/watt) higher than that of almost all the traditional lamps (except, at the moment, the large sodium vapor lamps used for street lighting, unusable in closed…
A very interesting project has been funded on Kickstarter: Meet LEDgoes. It’s the simplest, most versatile, least expensive LED Matrix Display system that exists today, with useful features for all experience levels with electronics. And the software & hardware will be Open Sourced upon successful funding! You can stack or arrange up to 64 Displayboards…
