Let's get ghetto [Arduino styleee]

Sept. 28, 2009

Over the weekend I went to an 80s themed fancy dress party. A few days before I visited Affleck's Palace in Manchester for some inspiration and saw some old skool ghetto blasters. I thought it'd be brilliant to buy one and go as a Beastie Boy, but these things were expensive. Especially the one with loads of flashing LEDs! I thought "Hang on, I can hack one together using my Arduino kit, and a cardboard box!".

So I did.

There's a really rough and ready tutorial over at Instructables and a photo album on Facebook. The code is on Github, and whilst not brilliant, does the job. Oh, there's also a video on Vimeo (it's also embedded below).
