Arduino 8*8 LED matrix

Made this: an arduino controlled 8*8 LED matrix which plays pong, scrolling text, and displays the temperature (using a thermistor bridge circuit). Need to find some tinted perspex to put on the front.

Extra points for anyone who knows the movie playing in the background.

We hope this brings much happiness, hugs, and harmony. Enjoy Kikoos for life!"
