More information is available at blog.makezine.com This week I am going to be starting a series about getting started with the Arduino. A few weeks ago I posted a quick how-to on using a force sensor and received a lot of positive feedback. This led me to the idea of a creating a series of how-to’s about our favorite little micro-controller, the Arduino
Here it is! Finally, my set of 12 RGB boards showing full frame (almost) Gameboy video! (True gameboy rez is 160*144). Tech specs: * 144*144 RGB LEDs on 12 boards * 20736 LEDs in all * About 1KW power consumption on white screen * Full custom control panel designed and made by me * Ability to run 16 boards (I need 4 more) * Full 24 bit RGB supported via 30 bit PWM * All firmware, FPGA designs by me.

This week, Bre Pettis teams up with Mitch Altman and George Shammas to make a little 3×3x3 cube made of little LED lights that you can program with any kind of animation that you like! You can get more information and detailed instructions at makezine dot com slash podcast.
Josh Lewis shows you how to make an LED Throwie, a concept created and pioneered by Graffiti Research Lab [graffitiresearchlab.com]. This kit was sold at the Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA. (Josh is not associated with Graffiti Research Labs.) To buy parts for making your own throwies, head over here: http://tinyurl.com/26cm75
