Sparkfun RGB LED with Serial Control

This is a video of a cube with LED lights that is controlled by a program created through Python. I remembered Python was mentioned in class last week because it is a program very similar to PD Gem. This video is particularly interesting because the creator shows how changing the color in the program on the computer corresponds to the change in the cube that you are watching. The uploader also mentioned it contains a Propeller Chip, which is said, “makes it easy to rapidly develop embedded applications” on the uploader’s linked site, parallax.com/propeller. It notes this chip is also useful to hobbyists and robot builders. I found this video very interesting to be able to see what a program like PD can do in real time to an object.
