Hi,
I was always intrigued by interactive tables. So I thought that would be my main goal in about a year (or less).
I suppose 1 year is doable for someone who has only basic knowledge of electronics but very good knowledge in programming (.net).
And as you might be thinking, I'll be using netduino for my projects. As of now I'm still waiting for it to be delivered.
So my main goal is to get a table with at first one simple tetris game. So the amount of leds I'll be using in my end project will exceed the 4000 I think But for now I'll be doing tests with around 100 to 200 at max.
Also I found this really cool led table from evilmadscience, using passive/active IR sensors. This might be a nice addon if my tests would work.
So my question to you: is this doable with a netduino?
activating a massive amount of leds (over 4000) would this generate a risky amount of heat? What about power consumption.
Also what active IR sensor could be used (as on the evilmadscience tables)?
Anything else I should be worry about?
PS: I'm not sure if this may be asked about evilmadscience... if not terribly sorry for that.
