okay guys enough with the BAD jokes and on with this years projects time is running out already :-) ;D ;D ;D ;)
RJ, I can hardly wait to see the final outcome. I have some great walls I would like to enhance. Plus this would bring a whole new lighting scheme for my Dune Buggy in the light parade. I could light up all the candy on the road. I may need a bigger generator. kbl

I don't know about seeing the final outcome, as I do not think after looking at one of these that we could see anything after that. ;D
RJ,
This is great. I will back burner my triple 3 watt "decora" unit I started to use with your MR16 board to see how this works. Being self contrained with DMX is great and a bunch better then my unit!!
I have a couple questions:
1. What is your current idea to get DMX in and out? dual RJ45 on the bottom side?
2. Which LED are you currenly playing with? I was playing with a King Bright RGB 3watt LED
Again COOL new blinky tool

Hey RJ,
I hope the PCB has an option to turn the light on or off without the need of a PC. I can see other use for it in everyday life especially knowing that it will also be energy efficient. Using the same setup like the Express?

Ok,
Since you guys like pics and to know stuff heres how it gets its DMX if you want to use cables and want to do it my way to keep it weather proof.
This may not be the way 20 other people would do it, but this is the way the Aether does it.
RJ
Here Here on the Neutrik parts - I use them on my CNC machines and I've never had a problem and they are much better quality for the money than other comparable connectors. Looks like I need to setup a jig for cutting these case holes on my machine!
Got the proto pcb and did some work on the Aether tonight. I messed up a number of places on the proto pcb (as expected) but it was good enough to do what I needed by hacking it up. I am working on the firmware now that I have some hardware to work with so I can not show it doing anything neat yet. It seems very bright and throws the light out wide and high so it will have good coverage even when you are up close to the wall.
This is the best I can do with the camera it is kinda bright for it to capture well. I can't control it yet but I did dim it via hardware to get a better picture with the room lights on.
Heat seems to be well under control as you can put you finger on the heatsink layer next to the leds with one channel wide open and it is just above room temp after 10 minutes of running. The large surface area of both sides of the pcb tied together with a large number of vias is the heatsink so it keeps it very cool.
Soon as I have it fully working I will get it outside on a house to compare it to MR16's since that is what I have and most people know what they put out.
RJ
Just curious, how much space do you have in the back behind the board?
RJ,
This is what i have been researching, and looking for all last year. was hoping that lor would come out with theirs, but since you are so awesome i now dont have to worry about theirs. Thanks so much i am excited. do yo think you may have somthing for us to demo at ICE? its in july? would love to demo the wireless and this. :) :)
Do you think these will put out enough heat to melt any snow that gets on them? I think these would look amazing in a display, but can't help but imagine them buried in the 55 inches of snow we've already got this winter...
"I noticed that you still have some small re-design work to do and would like to put in a suggestion."
"Would it be possible to design on the board some sort of header that could enable us to extend out an optional on/off switch that would bypass the DMX circuit and simply turn on the flood light. "
RJ, with the led that you are using for this project, do you know if a lens is offered for these to be able to control the beam spread?
RJ,
Could you save the rbg levels in eprom from vixen and the external switch control the eprom setting without vixen to run it stand alone.

What no updates lately????? I need one of these asap so I can play like a little kid ;D ::)

Beta pcbs should be here this week with luck. Firmware is coming along well and should have a fully functional unit in a week and a half.
RJ
Well after messing around with the proto mule pcb for this I have decided that I think the coolest thing about the Aether is the ability to focus the light at different spreads for what you need or want. It can be from a tight spot to almost a 180 deg sphere output or places in between all in a matter of a minute or less.
Its like "you want a tight spot" BAM! its a tight spot... "You want a wide flood" BAM! its a wide flood.. ect.ect.
With this and the other features this will be a nice addition to our line of lighting devices.
RJ
what part is needed to make the "BAM!" sound?
RJ I'm soooo excited about these lights I think I might of just pee'd.

Showed it off to the Sheriff today, she asked if I would build some of them for her! <yk.. <res.
Told her we will see and Smiled. Then when she said what she was going to do with them it hit me. I am going to make a special firmware that lets you cable any number of them together and the first one is the master. No computer involved they just do color fade patterns all in sync stand alone. Then I am going to use them on my house for landscrape lighting like this. Just plug the power in and away they go.

Just a quick question RJ, you mentioned wireless, is the Aether going to use the EX/RX board for wireless?
It can.
------------------------------
RJ -
Can you confirm if the EX wireless module (http://www.diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=Image:Exrx.jpg) will attach directly to the control board inside of the Aether or will it use the stand-alone receiver (http://www.diylightanimation.com/wiki/index.php?title=Image:Lynx_Receiver.JPG) external of the Aether case? (of course updated for version 2.0 of the wireless)
Thanks!
David
This may be a dumb question, but what is the advantage of things moving to surface mount?
I know it is not ideal, but why not have two kits... One through-hole with its own BOM and another kit for those of us willing to try surface mount. I'm sure that the dongle price would drop a bit if we used SM for most of the parts, and the dongle would be smaller.
just my .02!

Go for SMT.
We need to keep up with some of the new technology.
RJ: will the solder paste be furnished with the kits or do we buy it separately?

I think we will need to offer a seperate kit for just building supplys. In it we would provide Solder paste, plunger and correct size needle. Also the correct Non Conductive thermal paste used to attach the LED's plus a Flux pen for hand soldering the parts you will hand solder. This way you get one build kit and it will do all of your units as well as other projects later. In quanities we can get it cheaper and it will be convienient to the user as they know they are using the exact stuff I am in the video assembly manual. All you provide is a cheap griddle from walmart or other, and you are set.
RJ
If we are making these on a griddle sure you don't want to change the name to Lynx Pancake Lights
<la..
I know that my SWMBO would have a real kanniption if I pulled out the griddle in the kitchen to do this.... and all my explanations would not get rid of thos daggers...
I wonder if this would be satisfactory? on sale it probably could be found for $25.

Sorry to have upset you a bit RJ... You did explained yourself, I jut did not express myself correctly.

I am not sure I want everyone to think everything will be made SMD at DLA. But the Aether needs the benifit of it and so it for sure will. I also have a dongle design that someday when everyone is confortable with SMD I will release. It is just the same dongle but about $20 cheaper.

So for those of us who already have routines made for our existing Red, Green, and Blue LED's (seperate), have you tried turning the red, green, and blue channel on full power to see how accurate of white is made without actually using the white channel? If it's a half way decent white, I may not even bother changing the routines to use the white channel!
What lenses, if any, will come with the coop?
Ohhh and cool and informative....

I'd assume that if you already have 120v foods mounted in your soffits and other locations, I suspect with a little effort, a mount could be fabricated for long term lighting. Another alternative is the Mighty-Mini floods which are at 24V DC... no wireless and no built in controller but would be easier to mount and safer than 120v.
Hi dmoore,
Well, to get wall-washes (like I want), I envision the lights being out in the yard, pointing back at the walls (and / or other landscape elements). [Of course, since I don't have floods mounted on my soffits, that part is sort of moot.]
And, of course, other options exist. But no wireless and no built-in controller sort of defeats the whole purpose. The Aether will provide all these things in one - that's part of why it's so attractive.
And my thought was that, depending on how it's designed, a 12-volt AC power solution *might* be a very simple modification (perhaps being as simple as removing the 120v transformer, replacing it with a couple of jumpers & installing a different power cord - though it might be much worse than that, depending...).
But if it's easy, and others would be interested in that option, wouldn't it make sense to provide it?
--Dave
My point is that no matter what you design there will be users that think it should have " insert here" option.
As far as the Aether, the beta boards I am waiting on do indeed have a dc input for 12v on it and marked for such. It is totally untested and may not function correctly for all I know so this is the reason I have not mentioned it. The reason I added it was for the reason the OP stated. I want to use them as landscape lighting and 12v dc is common for this. I also am working on the code that makes them stand alone where one is a master and the others slaves so they can do color changes and patterns on there own with no input to them.

So, just to be absolutely certain for this newbie (me!), here's the current wireless V2 coop:
********************************
********************************
Kit 1 – Version 2 Tx/Rx Parts Kit
Kit 2 – Version 2 Tx/Rx PCB
Kit 3 –Version 2 TX/RX Case
Kit 4 – Version 2 LE/RX Parts Kit (Lynx Express Receiver)
Kit 5 – Version 2 LE/RX PCB
Kit 6 – LE/RX Header Pin (Allows LE/RX to be used with other Lynx gear like the MR16 Controller, SSR4…etc…)
********************************
********************************
Are Kits 4 & 5 needed for the Aether? Looks like you say Kit 6 is NOT needed for the Aether. It seemed like maybe Kits 1, 2 (and 3?) could work too? Does one Kit set mount inside and one outside? Or is one better than the other?
Sorry for the stupidity, but just trying to understand this and go the right route for when the Aether is released.
Man, have I got a lot of stuff to build this summer! These coops are killing me ;)

You have it correct. The EX/RX will mount inside and is cheaper. The TX/RX can be used in RX mode to plug into the Aether externally to also make it wireless. All in what you want to do. The TX/RX will need power also to operate where the EX/RX gets it from the Aether power internally.

I need something clarified for me. I am also a newbie and will be using the aether on a LOR network through an IDMX would I need the tx/rx or the ex/rx. I am getting confused. Sorry for the repeating questions. From the wiki it seem like I would need the tx/rx?
Thanks Brandon

yes you are correct I run a mix of LOR and Lynx with an LOR Idmx. The diagram is on the wiki. basically LOR uses the pins 4 and 5 on the RJ45 (typically the blue pair) and Lynx uses pin 1 and 2 the RJ45 (typically the orange pair )

Rick is correct, you need basically a RJ45 cable that swaps a couple of pin positions to make the iDMX work with Lynx equipment.

First - That is Two questions yet you only asked for one question to be answered. ;D
But being the guy I am, I will answer both since you likely would just repost and ask to ask one more question and that gets old. <la.. (all of the previous was in fun of course)
I can not answer the color question other than to say it seems to me to do amazing colors. I am part color blind so I am not the one to ask about good xxx color. It does do these colors. Here is a video of it doing random colors, Do you see any that meet you need in there ?
http://www.vimeo.com/10169516
As far as strobing,
It is a dmx light so you can strobe it about 40 times a second if you want induce siezures on your guest. This can be done in any one of about 17 million colors.
Hope this answers your one ,,, I mean two questions. ;)

RJ Thanks RJ Sorry I did mean on the LEDS , Now off to walmart for the griddle
RJ - just wanted to make sure...
In the 2nd video at around 9:50 where you were placing the diodes, you said that the line needs to go to the right, "towards the side that isn't perfectly squared off". But, on your paper, it was the left side that appeared to have the angled corners.
From the video, I couldn't really see the line on the diode. Does it go on the right?
Thanks!
-Murl
RJYes there is its in the text manual along with a few other things I could not cover in the video.
I really enjoyed the videos. looking forward to the remainder.
In the videos you mention that the Arctic Alumina is used to insulate the LED heatsink from the ground plane.
As soon as the LED is in place on the board, is there a quick check that can be done with your multimeter to make sure that the heatsink is in fact isolated so that a short (if present) can be immediately corrected. As you also state that once the epoxy has set, the LED cannot be removed, thus a problem cannot be readily fixed.
Craig
Anyone have a complete mighty mini with everything to run it I could borrow for a few days to video a side by side comparision? I will pay for the flat rate back and forth.
RJ
I have some I could ship you - it includes an LOR DC controller (which talks DMX), power supply and two different vendors of LED in the lights. PM me soon as I am leaving for vacation tommorrow morning and I'd need to get these packed and ready tonight.
David
This thing is amazing. All four videos are great and I can't wait to experience/learn SMT assembly. Is the light with you on the deck?
I was thinking 4 for christmas.... now I'm thinking 8 or maybe 10 .. and replace all the corner security lights on the house.. a few for Christmas.. and 1 or 2 for landscaping... don't tell SWAMBO...
Adding a motion sensor would probably get someone's attention <la..
Larry
P.S. well done on the videos... My concern for the SMD has been significantly abated...
I'm guessing a motion sensor could be used in place of the manual switch? Or even a light sensor?
Video of some testing for your entertainment!

RJ, I read your earlier post on the aether coop and the reasoning for your thoughts. Not offering a pcb option makes senses in some ways, but I would like to see more than one coop for the aether this year. Because this is a new project and the cost might be prohibitive for some, makes having more than one coop ideal. I could see my self having up to 12 of these led fixtures, but not truly knowing the effectiveness of or the limitations of the fixture I would prefer to purchase maybe 2 to begin with and see if the usefulness of the fixture out ways the costs. Having only one coop for the aether makes that difficult. If only one coop was to be offered this year than I think pcb's should be offered. This is a DIY site and the DMX dongle is a prime example of how the members work together to find suitable parts when mousers is out of stock. Ultimately this will be your decision to make, but seeing the amount of time and energy you have spent on this project and how proud you are of its outcome, I would hope that maybe another coop would be offered this year. As always thank you for your hard work and love of DIY. We as members have grown from your being a part of our lives.
Their are many reasons it would not be possible for the Aether to have more than one coop this year. One is that the lead times on some of the parts we are looking at are 2 months. With such lead times and the time a coop takes to run get paid to be able to order it would not be practical to have two. The seond one likely would not finish in time for anyone to build them.

Hi RJ,
Could you please check the portable light from Harbor Freight Tools, item #66433 and let us know if it is the same exact fixture as the one you are using from Northern Industrial? If so then we can use this supplier as alternate source.
Northern Industrial does not have the dimension specs on their fixture.
Thanks,
Not sure if I should start another thread for this but I'm wondering what the 120 V AC current draw is at full brightness? In anticipation of the comming coop I am starting to source out the parts I'll need and for my application I will need some custom length power cables.
Wondering what the full load current draw will be so I can size the cabtie cables I need to get?
Thanks,
Bob
I was curious how difficult it was to solder the SMD components? I've never done SMD before but can do through hole without breaking a sweat. I can't wait to get a few of these, just a little worried if i'll screw it up or not.
Thanks
