Grow Glow: Crowdfunded LED Projects
LEDs are all the rage these days. Let’s shine the light on a few standout crowdfunded projects.
Binary Love Clock
I combined a strip of WS2812B addressable RGB LEDs with an Arduino, a real-time clock and a beautiful heart-shaped boutique paper box to make an ornament for my wonderful Valentine. It displays the time, in seconds, in binary, since we met… (of course, it’s slightly approximate — I forget the precise second we met, but I think I know to within about 30 minutes!)
LED Rainbows and Knitting Machines at NY Fashion Week 2014
Knitwear designer Lindsay Degen integrated live machine knitting and digitally-controlled LEDs into her recent show during New York Fashion Week.
Valentine LED Chaser
The object of your desire will not be able to resist this heart shaped kitsch-o-tron, lovingly hand-crafted on perfboard with a CD4017B decade counter and 555 astable. But you probably can’t go wrong with flowers and chocolates as well. Just to be on the safe side.
