Hi Drew,

Very neat idea.

You have me thinking about all of the display animation you could do with the blue LEDs in the skull.

You could really freak some people out with a sonar tracker to have the eyes follow people as they walk by.

Good project, Drew, and it will probably serve as a launching pad from which others will derive theirs. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-e8c83c49-e57e-4f37-a24a-02a56c360471/0624.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

PS. You do know that the AM3359 was endowed with two PRUs specifically to power the two 8x8 LED panels in skull eyesockets, right? The business requirements were quite clear and made it inevitable.

Hi Drew,

Very nice display! but I still see a faint blue glow emitted through the beagleboard.org card [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-e8c83c49-e57e-4f37-a24a-02a56c360471/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]
