Auto-Calibration in Action

These are some of the pictures of how the panel auto-calibrates when a translucent glass is place above the sensors.

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.
