The Digital Light Wand Creates Light Painting In Thin Air

The Light Carnival is in Town!Looks like LED light sabers for light painting capture that interesting Venn Diagram intersection between photography and hackering.

After featuring Lightscythe - a light painting LED wand that can be loaded wireless comes another detailed tutorial from Michael Ross, which may be more suitable for the beginner Arduino. photographer.

The wand is build on the Arduino platform and can be loaded with still images that are shown as the wand is swayed from side to side. The results are amazing.

to make a sweet thing even sweeter, Michael posted a set of videos and a very detailed PDF tutorial [watch out, 30MB file] on how to build one of those babies.

If you are wondering what it does check the photographs below.

Here is the first of the video tutorials if you wanna get the general notion of what is involved.

Well, than this comment from Michael on the forum is just for you:

Just FYI... For those of you that do not think you can take this project on or just would like to get it in Kit form or fully assembled. I am considering setting up shop to do that for a reasonable fee if there is enough interest. I really was not looking to market this or make money on it but I am trying to figure out way to get it in others hands that are not the DIY type. :-) Just drop me a Flickr mail and let me know or leave a comment
