Hi guys, Thanks! Rob, I was considering installing light sensors on the panels too, but I think there are several factors that make the camera solution more suitable. Firstly, the wiring; even if it were possible to use the same PICs we are using to control the pixels we would have to make the RS485...

Hi Rob,
Thanks!
Let's do this layout then with the CNC to see what we can get.

Rob,
I downloaded Ranger 2 as you recommend me, is a great program!!, thanks!
(learning it right now)Could you please send me the Part List that you use to create the layout? Or some kind of reference so I can order the parts online.
Thanks a lot!

Hi guys, these is the task list, we have been working on the first (and most important) one, but hopefully the rest will be eventually implemented on the piece. It might be a little bit confusing but everything will be clearer when you get the DVD (I think). Also I add an extended description of the...

Thanks Rob!!!
Got everything, I'll give it a try this week and I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks a lot

Hi Guys, I don’t know what happen with the last post I put yesterday, It didn’t come through I guess. Dyarker, thanks a lot! I’ll post tomorrow a list of task that the computer need to perform so you can get the bigger picture in case you need to add more hooks to the code (i.e. find the shado...

Hi Guys, got it, I'll put the packages on the mail first thing on Monday. Rob, Thanks for the new diagram!, I normally use Jameco, Digikey, all electronics (for sales), Allied, the usual. Dyaker, Thanks a lot for the Database and the corrections! Thanks Guys!! MrAl, You can find info of the project ...

Hi Guys, Thanks a lot ! Rob, Great render, the guy is looks like me after a strict two year diet. The Name of the project is Blue Flower, Dyaker. By the way guys, do you have a P.O.Box address or somewhere where I could send you a DVD I put together of the project with renders and everything? Thanks...

Hi Rob, At the base right, so only a lift would be necessary to replace/fix a supply, without having to remove the panel. the max distance between a panel and its power supply would be 30 feet. but if you think they are as durable as any of the other electronic parts may be we should keep them on th...

Hi Guys, Thanks Dyaker, I agree, let´s get rid of that pix. Thanks. Let me research on another RS-485 port. I think Comtrol have several of these. (www.comtrol.com)I remember i saw RS-485 PCI cards somewhere. I´ll get a XP SP2 for the project then. Rob, I meant using a power supply per panel but i...

Hi guys, Thanks a lot, Dyaker, the Operative system to use hasn’t been decided yet, let me know which one is preferable and fast enough for our needs and I´ll get it for the project, PC, Unix, etc. And If you have recomendations on the machine itself please let me know too. On the beginning someo...

Hi Rob,

That´s right, a PCB router, it can work on up to 4 by 8 feet size, plexiglass, vynil, wood, aluminum and of course PCB boards. Its deffinition is amazing, We used it for circuits with excelent results.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys!! One question Rob, Why do we need a common every two pixels? I was thinking on installing the two electrodes for each pixel on opposite sides and then mount them in columns of 20 units using silicone guides with connectors on the inside, one of this guides will be the ground for a...

Hi Rob,
I see.
so let's go with the complex system then.
Thanks a lot!, and thanks a lot to your brother too.

Hi Guys,
Thanks a lot!,
Rob,
I forgot that the “mark between packets-break-mark after breakâ€
