Introducing the QuarterK

September 20, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Mats Engstrom (@matseng) a member of HackerspaceKL has built an awesome Arduino shield consisting of 4 8×8 LED matrix. The shield is called the QuarterK, and is currently at version 0.1.

I managed to get my hands on one of the kit during last Friday’s Electronics Friday. Here’s is a pic of the unassembled kit:

QuarterK Kit

Assembling the kit is pretty easy, and take less than a couple of hours. Here’s a step-by-step instruction from Mat’s personal website.

This is how the assembled kit looks like:

The QuarterK

The libraries and circuits are available for download from GitHub.
So what can you do with the QuarterK? It’s up to your creativity. Another cool thing about the QuarterK is that it has a speaker and game controller pins (which I haven’t built yet), so you can play games like pong.
The QuarterK is not yet available for the masses, however, special limited editions will be made available for sale at HackerspaceKL’s booth at the upcoming HITBSecConf2010 Kuala Lumpur.
