New Layout is looking good and is much more builder friendly. When I get back home this weekend I will test fit a few items to the new layout printout and order the pcbs.
A couple of little bits of info on the unit. The projection of the unit can be changed so you can make it what you want. A extreme wide flood down to a spot light in a minute or less. I will be testing this in the new pcbs and will get some video.
It also has an on board temp sensor as a emergency safety. If it ever detects the Leds reaching max it can limit output to keep them at the max output it can safely do and stay at a safe temp. Does not appear this will be an issue in any normal operation but for the 26 cents it cost to add the sensor, I felt it was cheap insurance to protect your investment.
I added, at the request of users, a set of pads to solder wires to and remote a switch to the outside if you decide to, it will turn the light on full white manually.
It will be 4 channels, It will have Red, Green, Blue and White as independant channels. When the white channel is active the other channels will be ignored and and the light follows curves to ramp up and down white light. When you ramp white back down if the color channels are still on the light goes back to that color as soon as the white channel hits zero.
So in other words the 4th channel is a white overide.
The 6 high power RGB leds will put out a lot of light. So this should be a bright & reliable unit. Like the Express controller, This is not designed to be the the cheapest light but an inexpensive version of some of the very expensive lights. I expect this light to coop around $90 - $95 each. So for what the cost of one of the commercial units you can build 5 of these and light your whole show. This is a complete all in one solution where you simply plug in 120v or 240v and DMX to it either wired or wireless if you add it.
If all goes well I will have this ready for beta in less than a month and out in two or less.
More to come.
