Well, well, I also clicked this link and then had to smile when I saw your name at the top… I’ll be stealing your code once again On a par with the flying cows and with much less memory!

Funny how the same things seem to appeal to the same people over and over …

@ Jamie – nice to see you here glad you like it…

@ Gllad, sure why not! Well you’ve got the source, so why not give it a go?

cheers!

Hey, this is cool!
Can you simulate fire with this?

Hi Seb! I clicked this link on Make because it looked cool and then was slightly shocked to see your name at the top.. with hindsight, I should have guessed it was you!

Good work!

@iestyn and mike – thanks guys!

@tink – hope it went well!

@oscar sounds cool! I’ve played a little with plasma in Flash (and also have a background in the demo scene of the early 90s!) You can’t really get different brightnesses unless you do manual pulse width modulation (PWM) and I’m not sure the controller is fast enough… will be my next project though!

@Jan G actually I corrected a link, this matrix isn’t the one from SparkFun, it’s a nexus one from here : http://80.189.97.157/Products/displays/bxxcdm.htm

The wiring is pretty straightforward – there are only 5 pins, one is ground, one is 5V and the other 3 are explained in the source code.

I’m currently trying to get the SparkFun full colour array working, but struggling right now!

Let me know how you get along!

Very nice. Do you have any instructions on wiring it up “properly”? I have the same setup but cannot get the matrix class to run at all. I can light up all the LEDs but only manually and of course the matrix class would save a lot of work. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Keep up the good work, first time here and some cool stuff on your blog.

Awesome! This remember me my old times on demoscene. I have coded this kind of routine on MS-DOS using VESA driver and was lokking good, but the idea theplay with Arduino is just fantastic.
If you can control de brightness, you also can play with Metaballs! So… next time a plasma effect maybe?

Keep the good work guy!
