Wobble Sphere is another work of interactive art from the apparently spring-driven imagination of …read more

[Brainsmoke] had a simple plan. Make a quadcopter with lots of addressable LEDs.
Not just a normal quadcopter with ugly festoons of LED tape though. [Brainsmoke] wanted to put his LEDs in a ball. Thus was born the polyhedrone, the idea of a flying deltoidal hexecontahedron covered as you might expect with all those addressable LEDs.
A Catalan solid makes a good choice for the homebrew polyhedron builder because its faces are all identical. Thus if you are making PCBs to carry LEDs, for example, you need only create a single PCB design to use on all faces. A bit …read more
