Projection Mapped LED Sculpture Kit with Arduino Mega + LED
Build a Projection-Mapped LED Sculpture That Dances to Music with Arduino Mega
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This kit lets you create a stunning 3D wireframe sculpture where each axis of WS2812B LEDs responds independently to music, producing a dynamic light show perfect for college festivals, art installations, or personal expression. The MAX9814 microphone captures audio, and the Arduino Mega processes it to drive the addressable LEDs in real-time, turning a simple wireframe into a canvas of sound and light.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a physical wireframe structure (wire not included, we recommend using stiff wire or a 3D printed frame) and attach the WS2812B LED strip along its edges. The Arduino Mega reads audio from the MAX9814 microphone and maps frequency bands to separate axes, creating a visualizer that reacts to every beat and melody. The final sculpture can be hung or placed on a stand, transforming any space into an interactive art piece.
What You'll Learn
- Multi-axis addressable LED control with FastLED library
- Audio signal processing and frequency analysis with MAX9814
- Projection mapping concepts: mapping 3D coordinates to LED indices
- Soldering and power distribution for large LED installations

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE) looking for a standout project for college tech fests like IIT Bombay's Mood Indigo or NIT Rourkela's Innovision, or for participants of Smart India Hackathon building immersive art installations. It also suits serious hobbyists and artists who want to explore the intersection of electronics and visual art. Prior experience with Arduino and soldering is recommended.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Our AI companion, accessible via QR code, walks you through every step, and we offer WhatsApp support for direct help.
Does the kit include the wireframe for the sculpture?
No, the wireframe is not included; you'll design and build it yourself. The AI companion suggests materials and provides mounting tips.
Can I extend this to more LEDs or a different shape?
Absolutely. The Arduino Mega's 54 digital pins and the included code base support multiple strips, so you can scale up your sculpture. Our AI companion can help tailor the code.
Is external audio required, or can the sculpture react to ambient sound?
The MAX9814 microphone captures ambient audio directly, so no external connection is needed. It works in any room or outdoor festival environment.
