Summary:
I realize this was a both a long project write-up as well as highly anticipated by many. I’m glad we finally got it published. We really don’t have many articles just sitting there waiting to be written up. But this project was daunting for me for some reason...
Danny sure loves these dance decks though. I think we so far exceed every expectation of his and its made him a bit of a geek icon in the local Dance Gaming Groups.
This is not meant to be the stand alone definitive guide. The first dance deck has a lot of important things we chose to gloss over. If you choose to build one of these baddies yourself I recommend reading both articles..
Update: This artical was featured in the April 2007 Edition of Hard Core Gamer Magazine! WOOT!
So here are the finished decks side by side.
Another shot of the dance decks.
Now we play with the lighting. The Red these LEDs put out is amazingly vivid.
The dance decks in blazing green.
A nice solid blue. The blue the LED's put out is very bright. The only down side is it’s easy to overpower some colors when mixing them
A nice red to blue cross blend. Note the blues penetration on the left deck.
Here were blending 3 colors to make the decks lighting more interesting.
