Here is my display.. 98 of them in a 2'x4' box controlled by a nodejs web app. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXahEYJX9-g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXahEY

My diffuser material cost $$. (If anyone wants to buy 98 on the cheap. Let me know. I'm going nomadic and have no place for my creations)

That's very cool. Love how it's interactive. The cutting board diffuser came about because I went to my local hardware shop (which is not a chain) and asked the owner about pieces of opaque plastic (I was thinking pricey perspex). He's always got good ideas and said the only thing he could think of was a cutting board. I've linked to the one I bought (he doesn't have a web site so I've linked to a chain that sells the same board). Dirt cheap and cutable with a Stanley knife.

  How do you get three different kinds of diffusion with the same board?

    The distance away from the light source ;)

That looks awesome - are you looking to get rid of the 98 lights alone, or the whole thing? Edit: Was going to write a seperate comment to the thread but had a change of heart, so I'll add my congratulations to jgc to this comment rather than cluttering the place up. Things like this regularly make me want to start playing with Arduinos, hopefully someday my laziness / lack of time (depending on how you look at it) will ease off.

  Thanks.. My laziness gets to me in finishing the projects. I do the fun part of getting it to work, then slack on the polish it needs to be complete. Just selling the lights would be best. Shipping on the 2 foot by 4 foot panel wouldn't be worth it.

    Do you have Skype rather than stretching this chain out? If so, hit me up - I'm CorinCole :) Edit: I really don't understand up/down voters here sometimes. How can a message asking somebody to add me to Skype get voted up to 4 points??
