SparkFun’s LED coffee table

Posted by Jim as Security

If this table sells this Christmas I bet you there would be so many who’d line-up for it (maybe not like how the iPhone sells). It’s the classic Pong Game for 4 players and all in LED. This design by SparkFun Electronics. Took them a full 2 revolutions around the sun to make this first one. Uses 64 RGB serial matrices, 4 Atari controllers, and an LPC2106 dev board to create a cooperative game of Pong.

You see the wires under the table, well I think that will fit a square inch micro-chip when this hits the assembly lines. Definitely worth watching as you know even with all the ultra-graphically enhanced games are still no match for the Arcade Game Pong. You can play it all night long and STILL be excited and all the following day.

Dubbed the Playstation Move, the advanced motion controls on this baby makes it supposedly more accurate than that other motion controller from that little-known console from [...]
