BlinkyTile - Light Sculpture Kit
BlinkyTile is a modular LED light sculpture system from Blinkinlabs. Each pentagonal tile contains one individually addressable RGB LED, and tiles are soldered together to form any 3D shape you can imagine — the solder pads create both the physical and electrical connections between tiles.
The included Lightbuddy controller comes pre-programmed with several light animation modes and connects via USB to a graphical pattern editor for creating custom animations, including sound-reactive patterns. The controller uses the same chips as Arduino boards, so advanced users can write their own firmware.
