Power Control PCB For ACL Mk3 Strobe Strings

[David_AVD]

Payments will be via PayPal. I'll have to check into USA postage.

Just tell me how much.
Zip code is 62254.

OK, to the Aussies wanting boards, they are AUD $10 each + $10 postage via red bag.

You can pay into my PayPal account ( david@da-share.com ). Please use pay as a friend (or pay the fee) as I'm not making anything out of this as it is.

It will be pretty much break even by the time I pay for all the bits, have them made up and post them out.

I don't even have any strobe strings myself, but I'll have the satisfaction of knowing you guys can finally put them to use!

Looks like economy postage to the USA is AUD $16 for up to 500g. That should be fine for 4 (or a few more) boards.

Postage with tracking looks to be AUD $25 for the same weight.

Also, thanks to Graham ( @djgra79 ) for the loan of a strobe string to prove the concept.

 

[David_AVD]

Oh, and don't forget to make sure your name and address is in the PayPal payment.

Dave is your board the only thing you need to drive the strobe strings?

Yes. The new board takes 5V from the power supply that would have normally powered them and a control signal to switch them on and off.

I'll do up a diagram later today.

Hi David

Payment sent for 4 boards plus postage, plus a little extra for your effort.

Thanks. Deblen. (Len)

Here's the connection diagram. I've also added details to the da-share wiki.

I'll be making up these boards on Tuesday so hope to send out as soon as the payments come in.

 

[bbayjohn]

guess i will need two of these also

 

[algerdes]

OK, how the heck does someone send a private message on this board software?
Funds have been sent for 4.

Expressing interest for a couple of strobe boards, if spares are available.

@algerdes There are a few ways to private message, either:

• Within a thread, click on somebody's avatar or username to the left of their post to display a member card overlay, and within that click "Start a Conversation", or
  
• Under the "Inbox" menu item at the top of the website click "Start a New Conversation" and type in the name of the person you want to message.

Hope that helps. You could also navigate to a person's profile page and under the "Information" tab of their profile click "Start a Conversation".

Thank you. "Start a conversation" didn't sound like "private message". Now I know.
