LEDs on Ikea coffee table

Check out this ordinary Ikea coffee table which has been hacked to include a whole bunch of LEDs – we’re talking about 6,144 of these in total. Tobias, the brain and hands behind this mod, sourced a trio of display boards from Sure Electronics for a total of 96 8×8 modules. These boards rely on a serial interface to be addressed, where a quartet of serial lines are used for each board although a shared data bus for each of the row select pins and the data/latch/clock pins. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into DIY goodness to enhance the overall look of your home.
