This Tiny LED Cube Fits in a TicTac Case
So tiny, so cool!

MAKE contributor Andy has created a great tutorial to introduce you to the utility of “Charlieplexing,” a method for controlling multiple LEDs without the use of multiple microcontroller pins. With charlieplexing you can turn on or off one LED at a time. To light more than one LED at a time, you can scan the LEDs by turning a sequence of them on and off really fast.
One fine morning, Jimmie P Rogers woke up and decided to figure out how many Charlieplexed LEDs would fit on an Arduino shield.
Dhananjay Gadre wrote in from New Delhi with news of “GuGaplexing”, an update to the tried and true technique of Charlieplexing. GuGaplexing introduces a set of transistors into the mix to double the number of LEDs you can address: The transistor pairs are so arranged that they provide an out of Vcc/2 at the output […]
