In order to test my techniques for plastic and glass casting, i created
a mold of a small Buddha. Crystal clear resin encases crystal drizzle
glass shards and 7 of the new L3K Picxel modules.
This one foot high classic enlitened being sits on a base of mahogony
and walnut that encases the batteries and brain.
|
| The
seven L3K modules are situated to represent the 7 chakras. The modules
have a SMT RGB LED and microcontroler on each one and are completely
programable and addressable. These are the same modules that are used
inthe L3K light ring surrounding a certain neon and wooden man. The new
L3K is made like speed bumps and will be considerably harder to "walk
away with souvenier", so this might be your only opportunity to get a
piece of L3K !!! |

Seriously, the modules can reproduce 512 distinct colour shades
and an over-current "strobe" flash. The 7 chakras are controlled
by a microcontroller in the base that is also connected to a touch sensor
mounted in his belly. By touching his belly, you can change the color pattern
that he plays. The brain controller can be updated later for further steps
to illumination. Currently he plays 10 different patterns, but i'm sure there
will be mo'betta ones coming. |

The cyrstal drizzle glass embedded in the resin gives
him the texture and translucency of carved ice. (molten glass is drizzled
into water to create string like clusters). Although the resin is supposed
to be UV stable, i would recomend against leaving him outside in the
sun. Nighttime of course should be just fine.
