January 15 - Updates
It has been a busy week. Lots of new products have been added to the Garage Sale page as we continue our year-end cleaning of the shop. We also have a new Instructable posted, this one is on building up an IR (Infrared) Illuminator which allows camera to see in total darkness. Along with the Instructable, we also have a dedicated page to the topic also.
LED fX Controller Special
Fully assembled and tested, complete with power supply.
The LED fX is an extremely simple and effective design, specifically engineered to control 16 individual output ports. Each port has an LED attached to it, allowing for attractive effects to be achieved by running customized code on the built-in PIC processor.
Effects are individually selected by setting the programming DIP switch. 64 selections are available from the DIP switches, although not every effects chip will have 64 different selections available for viewing. Various effects chips are available and will include details on the effects along with the code necessary to access that effect. To see samples of all the various lighting effects on the board, view our effects samples page.
We only have a limited number of these units available. Be sure to visit our Garage Sale page for more information.
LED Rainbow
Our LED Rainbow has proven to be our most popular product ever and continues to grow in popularity. The controller utilizes PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to control three outputs or RGB LEDs. The effects generated from the unit are nothing short of stunning. We now have a short video production of the LED Rainbow in operation. The unit was concealed into a standard home lighting fixture and a frosted-globe lens placed on top, which produces a spectacular display. Be sure to view our YouTube video.
We are pleased to announce our first Instructable, on the assembly of the LED Rainbow system. This is a
step-by-step guide on the assembly of this unit. Be sure to stop by the Instructable site today and have a look at the construction guide.
We have seen the LED Rainbow used in a number of different applications, including Halloween and Christmas decorations, used as a lighting controller in home theatres, even used on limousines to control the outer and inside lighting. If you have use the unit in a unique application, we want to hear from you.
