Re: What happens when a bored EE gets ahold of 57,600 LEDs
A few half answers: It uses all custom circuitry. I think he said it has a couple DSPs to process the video. The video input is just a normal yellow RCA jack for composite video. Resolution is 160x120. He said it gets warm..... It's powered by a few lithium battery packs, one plan is to install them in some shoes!

He's been working on this project for a few months. It's been fun watching the progress, and the design changes as he figured things out. The flex circuit boards are expensive, and that many LEDs are expensive.
