An Ikea hack, now with arduino!I read about this hack on the Apartment Therapy Unplugged website - it's an Ikea Granas table with 81 ShiftBrite RGB LED modules under the glass in a matrix. An arduino chip controls the LEDs and outputs a hue-saturation-value and RGB sine wave. The project as a whole costs about $350, but what a project!Here's the original article - the parts links are above.
