Loverly LEDs!

I needed somewhere to note down interesting sites and information about LED ambient lighting and special effects.   

Projects

Tile Toy

Cool looking cubes with a matrix of LEDs on the top that communicate via radio links.

RGB LED Controller Project
http://www.rgbled.org/
A modular design for a driver for RGB LEDs. Uses a PIC to control a number of PWM LED drivers.

Now that’s what I’m talking about. Lots of cool LED projects.

LED Pimp Bed
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/bkpeters/www/LEDBed/
This guy got a lot of attention for publishing his simple (no PWM) design for RGB ambient lighting.

VOS Pad
http://thevospad.com/vospad.htm
Another high profile project, this prototype flat includes colour changing LEDs througout.

Wireless Color-Shifting Abstract Decoration
http://students.washington.edu/natetrue/wlcolor/wlcolor.html
Remote controlled PIC-based colour changing blob.

RGB Controller
http://www.emanator.demon.co.uk/bigclive/rgbcont.htm
Nice PIC-based design and kit.

More to come…
