MAKE Demos , Sunday 4:00 PM - 4:30 PM Learn to make fun, lifelike electro-mechanical insects with Ken Murphy, creator of Blinkybugs. They blink their LED eyes when their pipe-cleaner antennae pick up the slightest vibration. Plus: how to make a beautiful, unique framed LED art.
Learn to make blinking electro-mechanical insects with Ken Murphy, creator of Blinkybugs. They're made from just a few simple parts, but respond to movement in an almost lifelike way, blinking their LED eyes when their antennae pick up even the slightest vibration. Ken will also demonstrate his LED Art Kit. This is another simple project: a framed piece of luminescent LED art that projects an endlessly shifting pattern of color and light on a translucent screen. They're easy to make and each one is unique.
