Almost Finished
06/26/2014 at 09:21 • 0 commentsSadly no photos yet, but i've got everything wired up, and enough coding done to make it fully operational (although i could do with adding a mode to vertically flip the image...).
Interesting side note:
I'm currently testing it with a 24 x 1024 repeating version of this image...
when running the light wand at the right speed, and waving it back and forth like a nutter (only current way of testing the image) you get an animated fire effect. Could be the start of a new sub project....

Shift Registers Working
06/24/2014 at 07:47 • 0 commentsAfter finally finishing the soldering, I borrowed an Arduino Uno from another project, and wrote a quick test program. Amazingly all the LEDs lit as they should (if you could see the mess of wires inside you'd be impressed!).
Due to the lack of a camera with long exposure setting, i had to photoshop together a couple of images, but it gives you a good idea of what it'll look like.

finally overcame the laziness and soldered all the leds. next step some basic arduino test code.
