Blogger Colab

So I have been thinking a lot about some of the patterns that I want to have the LED's display on my board, and I was thinking, 'hey, why not get some input from the blogging community as well'. So over the next few days, I will be accepting 'applications' for light designs. If you are even so inclined, you can make a string of designs so they become an animation. Of the designs that get submitted, I will pick the ones that I think are interesting, or cool, and put them into the final project. Below is a template that I made so designs will look a little more uniform. The black square represents the LED. If you would like to have it be the other way, just say so in your particular post.

A simple template. Black square represents an on LED. Copy and past to create patterns. 

If you are having difficulty with coming up with a design, here are some ideas that other people have Incorporated into their devises. 
Daft Punk Coffee Table
There are also lots of other like videos posted up on YouTube as well as all over the web. The designs are to be submitted no later than April 17th 2011, as that is the last day I will be taking consideration. Expect a post about what the light scheme 1.0 will be around the 20th or so. Email all designs to baysjacob@gmail.com

Until next time...

I think I have come up with a topic

I recently saw a video about a table that was designed by Daft Punk, and I got really inspired. So today I went out, and collected a few materials that I would need to make a prototype of a table. I still have some more materials that I have to get, but I plan to continually update the blog as I get farther and farther on the project. If this works out well, and I have a lot of fun doing this, then I might make more things in the future.

The page that got me inspired...

Cutting apart the project board.

Finished the walls that separate the blocks of light. 

Another view of the walls (not perfectly straight, but it is just a prototype)

Until next time...
