I like to decorate my home as well as garden = with LEDs :-) I guess I need not lees than 4000 LEDs to do this.

I wonder if there is any such project which can drive these lar= ge no. of LEDs and also provide a mechanism to design lighting effects favo= rably through a linux box. any such thing in this planet ? > >=20 > > Thanks=20 >=20 > =20 > Look at=20 > http://www.openplug.org/ <=3D=3D Linux computer >=20 > http://www.systronix.com/expansion/8x1wire/81w.htm <=3D=3D one wire > datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/DS2413.pdf > http://www.maxim-ic.com/datasheet/index.mvp/id/4338 >=20 > Some questions to ask yourself ..... > What do I want to spend ? > What do I want the 4000 LEDs to do ? >=20 > Look at http://www.celestialaudio.com/Leamington/index.html >=20 > gus Hello All, sorry for the missing tag. I have added it now. Gus, thanks for making me familiar with openplug. It is cool. well, as I me= ntioned before I need this LEDs to decorate my home and garden. LED strips = are available in local market, but I need some mechanism where I can contro= l and design the blinking hence the animation. So an linux driven LED circu= it came in my mind. I hope that plug computer has this capability with addi= tional hardware. If any one already have something similar , please let me = know. thanks --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
