G+_James Mitchell Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Here is my project, 32 channel Dimmable plexiglass Holiday lights controller using SainSmart (Arduino) 2560 and Vixen software What do you think?

G+_Jason Perry Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Ummm..... Wow. I would like to see that in action. I am guessing the design and plexiglass box is to showcase all the effort that went into making it? Do you have a place inside you are planning on putting it or is it going outside?

G+_James Mitchell Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have a shed on the side of the house. That is where all the extension cords are going into. I am programming the lights now with a custom Snowman that will sing. Two light shows, each will be 1hr 25min long. As far as the plexiglass goes, i have sheets of it just sitting here and yes with all the wiring i wanted to show it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jason Perry Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 How many amps is each channel? Are those solid state relays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The more I look at the video the more questions I have! Do you have plans for future videos or a spec/info website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Keith Mallett Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 James Mitchell Amazing! What what relay boards are you using? This could also work as a home automation control centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jason Perry Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I think one of the key reasons I like this project is their dimmable relays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yes, the dimmable relays really caught my attention too this last time I saw the post. How are those dimming? Do they detect zero-crossing and dim accordingly, or do they somehow add variable resistance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
