Specifications of the Interactive LED Panels

Introduction

The Interactive LED Panels are Open Source modules which illuminate when an object or hand passes over the self calibrating infra-red sensors. The LEDs then fade according to a pre-set pattern which can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. 

Applications 

Applications of these Panels are as follows:

• Interactive Bar tables
• Interactive Home tables
• Stairs that light up at night
• Music Interface
• Dance Floors

Patterns

Modes that are Included:

• Ripple
• Slow Fade
• Reverse Fade
• Sparkle
• Instant 
• Instant (fast)

Specifications

• Power requirements per board:  5V, 120mA / Consumes almost nothing when LEDs are all off.
• Maximum Number of interconnected boards per power supply: 8 Boards
• Maximum Number of interconnected boards:  1000+ Boards
• Maximum Current per 8 boards:  3 Amps
• Maximum Infra-red Sensor Distance: 20-25 cm  
• Software IDE: Arduino
• LED Type: SMD and Through Hole 
• Can work through Translucent/frosted Glass (Auto Calibrating)

Other Info

Panels are in the beta stage. With enough funding, boards will be sold as a complete product as well be implemented into furniture to make them interactive.
