Wow its been a while since my last update... Quite a few additions have happened thanks to the members here.

Zoa frags from both @Sarg and @DavidS
2 x Duncan colonies, countless fluffy morphs and a few red morphs from @Gwithian (absolute champ!)
Can't forget @MTG and the wicked yellow rhodactis
No pics as yet guys, but they'll be coming as soon as the DIY leds are done (the previous pics were only 3 leds to see what it would look like). So far I've finished soldering up the 12 RB leds, but I still have another 20 leds to go...
As for layout, here is what I'm going with right now.
As you can see, its kinda understandable why I'm taking my time on this one. Each colour besides the RBs (they use 2) have their own drivers ,and a shitload of wiring being looped through the ghetto heatsink (you'll see what I mean when I take a pic of it). Trying to keep all the wiring to 1 channel per row is proving to be a mission, but thats the whole point of a DIY isn't it? ;)
All to controlled by an Arduino controller (I'll start that once this one is finished), that will hopefully be controllable via Android phone (when I can be arsed to find a decent code).
The Android side is sorted after a crapload of net surfing, but its the code for the Arduino side which is giving me a headache.
Might post a couple teasers over the next few days if I get a spare moment, although that's not likely as I know how much kiddy toy assembling I have to do
(next time I'll throw them the tools and they can do it themselves... Well, its good to be optimistic lol).
