I know its is :oLD stuff. I have a coworker that wants to play around with a small dirt cheap light show (money is real tight for him). I was wondering if there was such a thing as just the PCB. I can find many kits and pre-built ones but not just the pcb by Google. Most of the circuits price from about $20-$50. I think that is to much money for it. Also the circuit seems very simple. If anyone could provide me with a place to buy them or suggest a breadboard type pcb that would work to mount the parts. Also if you know of a diagram of the circuit, that would be helpful. I see some with transistor drivers for each channel and some with a TTL driver IC chip. We work on engineering copiers and have found that a bunch of part machines have 2 each 16A @ 240V ssr's that are marked 5VDC on the other side. I guess the 5V trigger would be what I need for the 5 volt from the parallel port output? Or would I need a lower then 5 volt? Anyway I am somewhat new to this and I am in the current Lynx coop. (Can't wait till they arrive)
I guess if I could find just the front side of the circuit, connector and 74HC245 chip circuit and pcb etc, I could mount the ssr's to anything. One of the circuits I came across used the 74HC245. I would assume that is one I could use from Mouser or Newark.
I would appreciate anything you could throw to me. I also know these are NOT going to be dimable, but Vixen has the plug in for this circuit.
Thanks Guys
