Arbalet LED table

Introduction

Arbalet is an ARduino-BAsed LED Table, a plane surface filled with several hundreds of coloured square lights designed for Education, Geeks, and Pleasure. With its limited number of pixels, Arbalet brings our old 80 arcad games back into fashion through a modern, classy, and hackable device.

Arbalet is intended to be easily reproducible, highly customizable, and programmable to create new games, light animations and applications. It's not only a LED table, it's an open development platform. Whether you're looking for a modern, stylish and ready-to-use platform for your home, or a hackable and original platform to teach programming and develop exciting projects, Arbalet is made for you!
