Re: [PD] Pd, Arduino, and Multiple LED's == Installation?

Hi Kyle, For an installation for the LAC 2008 I used a Midibox (http://www.ucapps.de/) with a special custom digital output controller (with optocouplers and power transistors) to control up to 64 (I used 48) 3W power leds. I used Pd to control that over MIDI, and I added to the Midibox

Hey Kyle Sounds like a really cool project. Are you sure you need any special hardware at all? You could use the PWM out from the arduino and a transistor for each set of LEDs you want to control then build an array. A friend just showed me this ridiculously cool site:

Ayah Bdeir used an Arduino with a custom Firmata firmware to run a shift register and a matrix of LEDs. The code and the circuit is here: http://www.makingthingsmove.org/blog/ A little bit of work needs to be done to add shift register support to the Pd side of Firmata (Pduino), but I'd

Blinkm ( http://thingm.com/products/blinkm ) also work well since you control them over i2c thus simplifying wiring, but there more expensive then a standard led. Nils Kyle Klipowicz wrote: Hello Listers~ I'm working on an art gallery installation and I want to use Pd to control some

Thanks so much everyone for your prompt replies! This is going to be a quick job, the opening is the 2nd Friday of February. It's a group project and many in the group are hesitant to use LED's. The requirement is to have it be task lighting but also low-light. The gallery is not huge, I'd say

Hello Listers~ I'm working on an art gallery installation and I want to use Pd to control some high-powered LED's via an Arduino unit. The breakdown is this: I need to create a series of RGB LED's that will provide accent illumination to the gallery space, and shifts from red to blue over a
