Cool. I made a 6x8 coffee table, and used frosted tempered glass as the top. It look really good with the glass 1 inch away from the top of the table and light. I use a bunch of 1" piece of cork from Lowes to hold that up.
As for this one, I'll probably try corrugated plastic panel and see how it work out.
We're trying to get video to load from an SD card first... then we'll try a webcam / screen duplication from a computer.
Also, you dont necessarily need a Mega right?? Considering you're only using 5 pins... not to mention the Ethernet shield only takes up 3 pins? We're still testing to see how to implement ours.
@vinhtvu2 Oh no, not at all. I just got a Mega because it tends to hop around from prototype to prototype, and I wanted the extra flexibility. As to video, not yet, but I definitely want to try it.
Me and my friend are currently working on a similar project, we're hoping for 288 nodes. Have you tried wiring yours to Processing and displaying a low quality video on it?
@thebugger2000 I call it "really quick test code". :) So, the entire array is initialized to random color and intensity values, then each time through the main loop, the intensity is decremented. When it hits zero, it's reset to another set of random variables.

looks good so far. whats the maximum refresh rate?

what do you call that pattern that it was running?
