Gareth over at 4tronix has just launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund McRoboFace: 17 bright (Neopixel-type) RGB LEDs in a “friendly face” formation. The board is controllable from a Raspberry Pi, Crumble, Arduino and other base boards. I’ve featured the board previously – Robin Newman got hold of an early version and has been using it to highlight sound effects from Sonic Pi (view the video here or below).

You can currently (super earlybird) get hold of a McRoboFace for £5 (plus shipping) from the Kickstarter campaign page. It’s a bit of fun and seems to be a very versatile little board, useful for indicator lights or just for adding emotion to your projects.
