Spark Fun’s LED coffee table, gorgeous…
The LED Coffee Table is another massive LED project that we dreamed up a long time ago. It took nearly 2 years to pull off! We use 64 RGB serial matrices, 4 Atari controllers, and an LPC2106 dev board to create a cooperative game of Pong.
A bit hard to see, but you get the idea. It’s actually a lot of fun to play! We’ll have the LED Coffee Table at Maker Faire Austin this fall. Speaking of Austin – stop by and checkout our booth! We’re going to have a ton of blinky stuff, and have soldering workshops to teach basic through-hole and surface mount soldering.










That’s a nice looking table. I’d ask when it’s going on sale, but I bet it would cost as much a decent used car.
holy crap man that is a grip of LED matrices… 65 microcontrollers….
