I'm also looking forward to reading more about this.

As linked above, JMG is creating a Monome clone using Arduino. Also, the protocol and software for Monome is open source and available to crib from.

That bezel was the only thing keeping me from buying these button pads on Sparkfun! I have use of a laser cutter, and this is the best use of it yet! Now I just need a cheap(er) source for the RGB leds... NICE dude! That bezel was the only thing keeping me from buying these button pads on Sparkfun!

Sparkfun always seemed to not have their bezel in stock. So I decided to try to laser-cut a piece of scrap black 1/8? acrylic into a nice bezel.Bezel for “Monome-like” button pad - Link.
