hehehehe
ooohh...mood cubes would be an excellent graveyard shift activity eh?

I've been working on yet another redesign for the "display" layout.
What I'm thinking now is using a 3x3 grid on each face... positions 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 would be slow color-changers, and positions 2, 4, 6 and 8 would be 3-in-1 leds that I could rig as color-organs. I found a nice (aka cheap) circuit to let me do that, since they don't have to be precise in the fall-over frequency detection.
It's a lot of LEDs, but they're relatively inexpensive. The thing I'm really struggling with now is what to mount them on. If I use circuit board, it'll drive the cost up significantly... copper-coated board is about $6 each, and I'd need 6 of them per cube... 1 to handle the electronics, the others to handle the LEDs.
Alternately, I can use something else to mount the LEDs on (since there'll be no active electronics on those boards), but then getting the power/signal to them becomes a quandary. I've been thinking about doing something like wire-wrapping. Could work. If I go that route, then I just need to find the material to mount the suckers on.
So many decisions to make regarding materials... sigh...
But the MoodCube is NOT dead!

Glad that you're still working on it!
...and time for me to head out. have a great day

i must have strayed to the wrong thread ......... definitely getting a Déjà vu feeling
oy
events in the RW and DW combined to really screw me up yesterday, but I"m (sorta) back on track.
Good morning/afternoon, Clowder!
