Fantastic RGB LED coat!
September 29, 2010
This coat by [DustMonkey] had to be one of the most colourful things at burning man this year.
With 256 LEDs each individually addressable in a 32×8 matrix, it’s a lot of wires!
[DustMonkey] had about 300 mini PCBs made, one for each LED with a 4 wire header on each one to make the wiring simpler. All of this is controlled by 6xTLC5940s and a 595 Shift register with an ATmega328p (arduino) doing the work.
The final result really is very nice. I know I would love one of these in the coming winter months.

No worries. Shame I don’t get to update all this stuff more often.
