V04 of the 3x3x3 RGB LED cube is now available. You have the choices of ordering just the PCB, a complete kit, or having it pre-assembled. We only have a few in stock right now so get them while they last!

Here is a little demo that I am still working on to show some possible uses for the new V04 cube. I will release all source code for it once it is working perfectly, there are still some issues with the plugin.

The cube is set to receive information on the red and green channels (blue is emited to save time as it is always 0) over the serial port. On the PC side Rhythmbox uses a plugin I am working on to generate the images based on the spectrum and magnitude of the audio being played. Right now it is getting 100FPS.

We are out of all previous versions of the cube. We just sold our last V03 cube. Don't worry V04 will be available sometime next week! V04 is very similar to V03 but features a USART (serial) port! You can now control the cube with your computer. We are working on writing build instructions and documentation. However, the camera we used to take the pictures for the build instructions is hiding, memory card and all. We are also working on some nice new very smooth visuals.

We are updating the site once again. This should fix some problems with the emails having incorrect emails and phone numbers in them. That also means the site will be down until the update is finished. Please bear with us. Thank you for your patients.

It's the last day of the year! 2008 is almost over.

The site was down for a little while as we just updated it. Some of the bugs should be fixed now. It will take a little while to get everything back to normal so if you have any problems please contact us ASAP.

5mm RGB diffused LED, both common cathode and common anode, are available for only $1!

A very cool new product has been added. This regulator is the same size as a 7805 regulator (TO-220 package) that is very commonly used. The amazing thing about this regulator is that it can take 2V-5.5V and output 3.3V or 5V meaning it does not care if the voltage is higher or lower than the output, it will regulate it.

A new look! The site has been shifted to a new system. There will be a lot of changes in the next few days. The tutorials will be back shortly and a few new products will be up within the next week.

2.2" AMOLED is now available! We got a deal on these OLED because the are no longer made and the distributer needed to get rid of them. The three we have is all we will ever have, so order your's while supplies last! They are large for an OLED, 320*240 pixels with 18 or 16 bit color. A very nice display with a great price.

A lot has happened since the last update. A few new products are being created! First off, a charge pump regulator that is as easy to use as a regular 7805 linear regulator. It is even smaller. It takes input from 2-5.5V and outputs 3.3V or 5V selectable via a solder jumper. What makes this special is it will automatically switch between boost and buck mode allowing you to get 3.3V from a single Li-ion cell even when the voltage drops below 3.3V.

The next product is a SPI controlled high power RGB LED. They are designed to be daisy chained. A single chain can consist of more then 60,000 LED! A prototype can be seen below. I wrote a simple program for Linux to interface with it.



Finally, a new product, a hand-held system featuring a 2.4" OLED with touchscreen, triple axis accelerometer, 2MB of SRAM, internal Li-ion battery and charger, USB, audio, and MicroSD capable all in a small package. This device uses an AVR32 UC3A processor. We are currently working on the hardware.
