The author made the project for a friend who wanted to include it into an amplifier as an extra function. The project turned out really well and it works flawless. It’s based on the ATmega8 and it uses a 4 digit 7 segments common anodes led display to show the time. The code is pretty simple, written in C, but it lacks comments as the author did not felt the need to add them.
This tutorial will teach you how to convert a dull, non illuminated button, into a lively glowing one. Definitely a great addition to MAME arcade cabinet. You’ll need LED’s, drill, soldering gear, and pushbutton. The end result is pretty neat but i don’t know if it’s worth the work hours put in.
The author, Olivier de Broqueville designed this circuit for hi’s son who was dreaming of a small tool able to write symbols or pictures on a screen. The solution adopted was to pilot a matrix of Leds. This way, with only some cheap transistors, common red Leds, and a 16F628 , the dream could become reality.
Olivier also made a VB application that you can use to design patterns and export them apropriately.
The LED cube runs using a PIC16F690. Along with the brief explanation of how to make it, the author has also included the .asm file for the PIC and a piece of software written in VB.NET that you can use to create your own LED patterns. These can be exported as .asm files and put into the main .asm code.
Daniel build this clock after having to chose from a watching a movie or working on a project. Obviously he and hi’s friend chose to make the clock so it wassn’t long until the LED’s started to light up. The clock code is based on the open-source-arduino-clock by Rob Faludi. Daniel made many changes, but the time counting the basically the same. So if you want to make another kind of clock, I suggest you to take a look on that code.
