Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Experiments with Smart LEDs

Location:   Expo Yellow   

LEDs are energy efficient, low-cost, and colorful. Placing a tiny computer on the LED creates a "Smart LED" where you can fully control the hue/brightness and create color patterns that change over time. All without knowing electronics. Come see and play with various Smart LED products and home-made projects.
