RE: PCB's have arrived

["Ian Davidson" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

The PCB's are for the X10 replacement I'm working on. I was hoping to
get them all tested before my Holidays but time will not allow. I'm sure
you know what it's like when you have a project nearing completion it
can get quite compelling and all spare time is spent on it as SWMBO
usually points out.

The pond light controller was a two hour Sunday morning throw together
with bits out the odd bods box, and surprisingly enough worked first
time.

Hi All

Well my PCB's did not arrive last week which meant I had a couple of
spare hours. I knocked up a simple DMX controller on some vero board
which just scrolls through all the colours over about a 2 minute
period.
I fitted 9 of the color kinetics lights to a plank of wood and added
the
controller. My water fall now slowly changes colour throughout the
evening.

The good news is the PCB's did arrive on Tuesday and I finished
building
one up last night. I have much testing to do before I can plug it in
and
I need to build up an in-circuit programming lead and adapt my
programmer before I can start. The bad news is I will not have any
spare
time now for about a month, what with covering for staff holidays, my
own holidays and other work commitments. So you will probably not hear
anymore on the project for a few weeks but rest assured it will
continue. In the usual UKHA style pictures of both are here
