Space Invaders Button
Posted on Apr 14, 09 04:06 PM PDT

Space Invaders is one of the more iconic video game, er, icons that have made it into cult status, and you can be sure this Space Invaders button won't be the last piece of DIY wonder to be released. According to Marcus who wants to have a piece of wearable Space Invaders, "The whole project was inspired by Alex, especially his LED matrix projector and his tiny 64 pixel project. After some beers with Alex I claimed: "I can do it much smaller in SMT". Silly me! Not that it was hard enough to build it in SMT, but I also wanted to do it in bi-color (I just got some small bi-color LED matrix laying around, waiting for a project) and I made some real design mistakes (but that is a story for another article). Additionally I wanted an design which still allows me to use the LEDs of the display as light sensor. That was nearly too much - but only nearly!" Looks neat and definitely geeky. We like!
