Snazzy LED Black-lighting with the Arduino

Technology has been making our viewing experiences more and more interesting since the birth of photography. First the photos were put in a sequence to create video, then audio was synced to the video to create "talkies," then color was added to the film, the first attempts at 3D with cyan and red glasses came about, then the more modern 3D movies.

Here is a project you can do yourself to add even more excitement to your viewing experience if interested in micro electronics: LINK

This guide lets you use an Arudino or similar micro controller to program a group of LEDs to give dynamic black lighting to any computer monitor. If interested in programming, electronics, or micro controllers, this might be something to try doing, or checking out for ideas on your own projects.

The Arudino is an open source project supported by many volunteers on forums, and micro electronic hobbyists developing extensive libraries for components. The Arduino website is located at www.arduino.cc The micro controller can be purchased at a few online micro controller websites like SparkFun. If experienced with computer programming you'll be a step ahead since Arduino uses the C programming language.
