Found these bad boys on hackaday sometime ago before we started the blog. The premise of these is pretty simple make a sick pair of rave glasses. However, the engineering and inginuity that are behind them is very interesting as well. Using a Picaxe 20×2 micro-controller, and a slew of LED’s he ordered from china, he multiplexed each array so he control each LED with the limited number of pins on his IC. That in itself is pretty sweet and trying to keep this short I will not bore you with the wonder that is multiplexing. Anyways, after programming away for a while he came up with a few sweet animations to display across the two arrays. The instructables user has all the directions and required parts up on his article for you to view as well. I’m thinking of attempting to make this sweet little diddys at some point, and will update you on my execution. Check out the video below (complete with some good dubstep)…
