Mojo Audio Visualizer Clock by EmbeddedMicro w/ PICS

[w_km]

Here's a cool project I'd though I'd share...it's a dual function Clock / Audio Visualizer based on a Spartan 6 FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) made by EmbeddedMicro via their Kickstarter campaign.  You can check out the hardware, and more importantly, the growing list of tutorials to help the beginner (like me!  :D).  You can see the prototype device in action here:

The retail version functions the same, but also looks BA with a matte black PCB and green accents.  It also goes PERFECTLY with Logan's (@Teksyndicate; http://zweihander.bandcamp.com/) Zweihander 8bit music!  It's almost as if they were made for each other.

 

I'll attach some pics here and will soon post design plans (in the New Builds & Planning section?) for a metal/plexiglass enclosure to show it off properly.  If I do a PC build, it may go in a 5.25" bay too (the 8x16 LED display in 4.75" wide, and its PCB is 5.5" wide).  It wasn't cheap, but for some custom hardware and the tools/resources/tutorials to learn and play with it makes it an awesome little project, let me know what you think!
