This is Ewen, the Cheerlights enabled ewok robot. He reacts to tweets made to #cheerlights, and lets us know how he feels about the colours you choose. Ewen is controlled using a Helion Microsystems USB interface board, and the twitter interface on thingspeak.com - Cheerlights is a project synchronising christmas lights all over the planet! Jump in!
USB CheerLights for your Desktop
As promised pete@rasterweb posted the details on how he created a USB version of CheerLights for your desktop. The build produces stunning results and seems easy to replicate. I think this will be the gift of the season for next year’s holidays.
