Sit and stare gleefully at your gear or get down to business by making a cool device using the board to show off how easy the Google ADK board is to use? A DIY modder going by [yergacheffe] did in fact have the Google ADK board early and set about making something cool.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The person used the ADK board along with some LED matrices and modding prowess to construct a display that can show the meta data for the songs playing via the music beta service from an Android device. The matrices were put inside a laser cut acrylic case and the music beta logo glows with LED light for extra bling.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
With the complete project display, people can connect their smartphone to the display and it will show info about the tracks they are listening to. The modder says that only a couple lines of code were needed to get the Google ADK board to work with the display screen. Check out the video to see the finished project in action.</div>
