LED Scanner 32 - Fade Algorithm Test Platform

This is the first video of potential fade algorithms for the LED Scanner 32. I built a straight-line LED array with 32 high brightness LEDs from BG Micro (.com) part number LED1060. The processor is an Atmel AVR ATmega8515. I wrote the code in C using WinAVR/GCC + AVR Studio. As usual, my video of LEDs leaves much to be desired. The scanning effect is quite nice in person. Any video tips for LEDs would be appreciated.

how much to make me one? My hands are not able to do delicate work anymore but love BSG and want to make a bust of a Cylon.

@bullworth3040,

Sorry, it was just a prototype! As built, it wouldn't work for a bust, anyway, because it was 8 inches long and straight. It would need to curve to fit in a helmet. I've tried to make these screen-accurate before and it's just too much work and they're never "quite right". So, just a fun prototype, and I've already sold the only one I made. Thanks for watching!
