LED Cube and Arduino Lib - More DIY How To Projects]]> http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/F0C/L2RJ/G1VDTS90/F0CL2RJG1VDTS90.SQUARE2.jpg http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/F0C/L2RJ/G1VDTS90/F0CL2RJG1VDTS90.SQUARE.jpg http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/F0C/L2RJ/G1VDTS90/F0CL2RJG1VDTS90.SMALL.jpg gzip There are other Instructables about building LED cubes, this one is different for several reasons: 1. It's built with a low number of off-the-shelf components and hooks up directly to the Arduino. 2. A clear, easy to reproduce circuit diagram is provided with plenty of photos. 3. A unique approach ...

After considering several different motors to drive a display, a ceiling fan seemed to run at just the right speed, is out of the way, and very quiet compared with alternatives. With a micro controller based on th...

How to build an 8x8x8 LED cube and control it with an Arduino - More DIY How To Projects]]> http://cdn.instructables.com/FY5/9HJH/FVW1UMGK/FY59HJHFVW1UMGK.SQUARE2.jpg http://cdn.instructables.com/FY5/9HJH/FVW1UMGK/FY59HJHFVW1UMGK.SQUARE.jpg http://cdn.instructables.com/FY5/9HJH/FVW1UMGK/FY59HJHFVW1UMGK.SMALL.jpg R- There are a lot of LED cubes on Instructables, so why do another? Most are for small cubes consisting of 27 or 64 LEDs, rarely larger since they are limited to the number of outputs available on the microcontroller. This cube will be 512 LEDs, and will only need 11 output wires from the Arduino. How...

Hard Drive Persistence of Vision (HDPOV) - More DIY How To Projects]]> http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/F6D/FDWA/FNNKD0BA/F6DFDWAFNNKD0BA.SQUARE2.jpg http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/F6D/FDWA/FNNKD0BA/F6DFDWAFNNKD0BA.SQUARE.jpg http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/F6D/FDWA/FNNKD0BA/F6DFDWAFNNKD0BA.SMALL.jpg vishnubob The platter of a hard drive spins well over sixty times a second. If a narrow slot was cut into the platter to allow LEDs to shine through, we can achieve flicker fusion and trick the eye into seeing a stable image. This phenomenon is known as persistence of vision (POV). There are many examples ...
