Not a picture update this time... But a video update :D
I've created a cycling power symbol, gives you a idea how it looks like. This is just the first image. Once everything is done I can spend some time on creating nice animated logo's :)

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttt
+repi think ill gonna rebuild this controller stuff 8)
I swear I give you way too many Reps dude, but how can I stop myself?
That is damn incredible.

Thanks :D
And thanks for fixing the youtube link jdbnsn :) Thought i had to enter the full url, but that didn't work, now i know why, only the letter combination is necessary.
I've been watching this thread for a while, keeping quiet the whole time but I CAN'T KEEP QUIET!! HOW THE CRAP DID YOU DO THAT WITH YOUR BUTTON??? I WANNA LEARNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN AHHHHHHHHHHHHH +5000rep for your homemade tools and the button:banana: :banana: :banana:
yeah give us the link for the circuits :D
Damn bro,... that power symbol thing is sweet.
Circuit drawning? I don't have one :DQuote:

I can draw a schematic of it, but actually it's all about the microcontroller. The schematic diagram is just a microcontroller, sending a clock puls to the 4017 IC, and 10 times 7 bits of data (the horizontal line) to the led's
For a power symbol it's something like this:
0001000
0001000
0101010
1001001
1001001
1000001
0100010
0011100
0000000
0000000
Watch the 1'es and you'll see the symbol.
I've made really nice things with microcontrollers, a 8x8x8 led cube for example. Even while i don't even know all the difficult parts with reading and writing EEPROM data etc.
question....why dont you center the image?
Like this:
0000000
0001000
0001000
0101010
1001001
1001001
1000001
0100010
0011100
0000000
Jeaah, just a quick test...
And some suggested using a shorter vertical line, so i did by now, and so it's centered as well. Still writing the code, but now it's a continuous symbol, where led's go off and on from bottom to the top. Well you'll see in the next movie. Together with the "fingerprint scan line" ;)
I'm stil not 100% shure where to use the other 3 buttons for. I think 1 for opening the optical drive, 1 for lights on/off and 1 for switching the monitor off.
On the main case there will be touch buttons as well. For selecting fan speed, and switching various lights on and off. But those will might be made with 7-digits displays (0-9) instead of dot matrixes, because i have to keep those buttons smaller.
