I've built an LED mau5head using Madrix to drive the LEDs via E1.31... I figured you would all appreciate this!

Here's me (left) with Deadmau5 wearing it!

I'm currently using the demo version of Madrix, since I don't have the $500 budgeted for the dongle :-/

I showed Madrix to Deadmau5 and his crew and they loved it.

WOW!

Is it really him?
That is so incredible! And you are right. We really, really appreciate it. Thank you for sharing!

I am just glad CD prices are much lower, so I could easily afford the Deadmau5 album I have ;)

Thanks again!

I know this is more of a hardware question, but how do you address all the little LEDs? I have been looking to do something similar, on a much larger scale, but I am having a difficult time understanding how Madrix will communicate with all the LEDs in a string.

Hi,

it's very great. I like this self made mouse project.

What kind of MADRIX protocol use you?
What kind of controller use you, microchip or atmel or what else?

I'm using sACN/E1.31 w/ a pixel driver based on the 8 core parallax propeller P8X32A-D40 microcontroller.
