Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Puzzlemation

Location:   Expo Yellow   

Puzzlemation is a tiled display. Each tile is an 8x8 grid of LEDs with its own power from an microcontroller. The tiles are placed in a special tray, where patterns are loaded from the display via EEPROM or the network. Then the tiles can be reconfigured any way you please. Unlike most displays, you can scoop pixels up in your hand, like sand at the beach.
