LED lights, make your own?

Clefty dear, can you give us a tutorial when you have them sorted, I have nearly bought a set a few times, but was put off by all the voodoo you have to do.

Tynan, my love

As long as you're competent with a soldering iron, you should be fine, we literally followed the online guide on the ladyada site which has large pictures, and it worked fine. Its pretty straightforward, make sure you get the dongle kit as well - mine is serial.
So far I only have one built up (my kit is red) However after some research in the area I think I might build the second one up with tricolour LED's (RGB) as with some work you can get full colour pictures like this:

just need to buy the led's and try it out.
Will let you know how I get on.
