The IcosaLEDron is a programmable, rechargeable 20 sided “ball” with an addressable RGB LED on each face. Inside is a custom PCB equipped with Atmega328p, 3-axis accelerometer/ gyroscope/ magnetometer, and FTDI with microUSB communication and charging. Arduino compatible for easy programming of different effects, the IcosaLEDron is a platform for creating light effects based on accelerations applied to the ball.

An Open Source project, files for making and programming your own are public. We invite people to build, write programs for, and share in the development of the IcosaLEDron.
