Its a good site for alittle insperation and who doesn't want a RoboGrover?

That last one was sad...

He's got 60 or so LEDs in his Xbox, controlled by a single BS2, but when asked why he didn't fill his Xbox with leds he replies that he'd need at least 5 BS2s linked together to do it...

A BS2 with decent interface and driver chips should have no problem with 600 LEDs...
A pity the GameCube is so small, or I could have done something...
(Not that it isn't already perfect... )
Just hook up a BS2p or BS2pe with a few 7219 drivers and fill the extra PROGRAM banks with pattern data...

See?
It's sad whenever someone can't see the potential of a BS2

The xbox mod was a little weak You got to go big this is my arcade machine with a color organ I put in the front, (remember color organs HUGE in the 70's).
