DIY Controller v7

Description

*** This unfinished product listing is for some eager customers who’ve already been in contact ***
— Photos needed, and probably more and less technical detail…
— LEDitor information is way out of date…

Building your own pixel props?? We’re now selling our control boards for anyone to make use of!!

Handles lithium battery charging – 1 amp max to charge 1 or 2 cells in parallel, such as 18650/16650/13650 Li-Ion or any 3.7V Li-Polymer pouch
6 amp max discharge via a temperature controlled power management IC
Soft on/off – Blue button controls this; push to turn on, hold to turn off
Brightness control – Hold red to turn up, hold green to turn down
File/Folder selection – 20 folders max, 99 files per folder. Red button twice enters folder selection, red button once moves to next file
Repeat – press green once to toggle file repeat, lights indicate which mode is currently selected
Battery life remaining – press green twice, lights indicate the battery voltage
Auto Off – when battery falls below 5% the circuit board will shut itself and LEDs down to a ~6 micro amp drain

Comes programmed for whatever pixel count you want, reads .LED files from a 4GB microSD card (LEDitor software included on the card)
— 72 suits half metre lengths of WS2812B or APA102
— Shorter plays SD files faster, minimum ~30 recommended for sufficient resolution
— Can be reprogrammed if you’re into that sort of thing.
— Firmware isn’t open source but we’ll happily give you the pinouts to all the peripherals
— Can be reprogrammed as an arduino via a 6 pin unpopulated ICSP header
— Breakout for gyro and wireless, not populated and not programmed

6 pin interface:
Optional, included for you to use, adapt or ignore. Without this 4 or 5 wires need to be soldered to pads, with it tube ID must be 20mm or more
— Battery Positive
— Ground, common to LED strips and Battery negative
— Switched Positive, goes to LED strips
— LED Data
— LED Clock (only needed for APA102 style LEDs)
— Not Connected (could be wired to a spare pin on the ATMEGA328 (arduino) microcontroller for an extra switch, firework igniter, mechanical something…. 😉

Comes with:
— 4GB microSD card with 250+ sample images and the LEDitor software to edit (easy mode) and choreograph (advanced) images and sequences
— USB card reader
— Micro USB cable
— 240v 2A USB adaptor – Australian sales only, international customers must supply their own 1 Amp or faster USB adaptor

Board Dimensions:
— 98mm L x 19mm W x 8mm H, or…. 4″ x 3/4″ x 5/16″, not including the 6 pin interface
— Buttons are 10.4mm, 17mm and 23.6mm from the interface end of the board. If you have a 3D Printer we can send the .STL of a suitable template

Photos needed – the interface board is a round 19mm diameter board with a 6pin female IDC socket, board has a 6pin male IDC plug on the end
The microUSB and microSD card are at the far end of the board facing outwards
We use these boards in the end of a CNC milled carbon fibre tube, 20mm ID and 1mm wall for doubles, 1.5mm wall for swords and staves
– Dragon staff boards are completely different

PLEASE SELECT THE CORRECT OPTIONS!! 

LED Direction: Are you going to put the controller near the START or the END of the LED Strip  — see description
