Glow my little babys!

Because I want to occupy myself with “fiducials” (objects with appropriate markers on the bottom and eventually the sides) in the future, I was looking for a pretty solution and got inspired by Marcel Vincent and his table. He uses self-illuminated LED-cubes, which are driven by a few batteries. I ordered three of these cubes on ebay last week and upgraded them with fiducial markers today. Let’s have a look at the result:

dscf5800The blank LED-cubes with the power-switch on the top.

dscf5804The LED-cubes after their upgrade. There’s a marker on each side and a fifth on the bottom.

dscf5806And this is the final result. Each cube is driven by three included button cells and there’s another pack of three extra button cells per cube included. Thanks again to Marcel for inspiring me with his cool idea.

    Hi

    I don’t see how you could use fiducials with your setup

    Could you explain your idea?

    Hey,

    it’s a DSI-setup and this thread says, DSI-setups can do it ;-)
    I unfortunately don’t know, how to explain it. I only know, that it should work. :-D
