openVolver measures 3.75" square, has 36 10mm diffused LEDs with 255 levels of brightness each. It will play over hundreds of thousands of unique combinations of patterns. It has 4 different modes and variable brightness.

openVolver comes with a microSD card which can store an huge amount of pattern data. It comes with a microSD to USB converter so you can plug that card into your computer and create your own patterns without having to know how to program!

openVolver comes as a kit, or assembled. If you are assembling your own, clear, detailed instructions for assembling openVolver are available here. We have soldered the one surface-mount part to the board to keep the difficulty level down.

openVolver comes in Red, White, Blue, Pink, Orange, Green, and Yellow.

openVolver is about to be sold by MakerBot! Details coming soon!

All proceeds fund blinky, sound, and projection art for Camp Image Node and at Burning Man in 2010 and beyond. The money does not go towards any campers' personal expenses. Please help plug up the Budget Hole (TM)!
