Coming Very Soon: Open Source Controller
Posted by JEC on August 6th, 2010
Just a quick note before the weekend… On Monday, August 9, we’ll publish a whole batch of documents, including:
- Source code for driving last year’s 5 bit nodes and this year’s 8 bit nodes (the control protocol is quite different) based on DMX input.
- Schematics for a simple 4-string driver system.
- Eagle & gerber files for a known-good PCB layout.
- PCBs from the shop shelf – at least 50 pieces – will be available for a nominal fee.
All information will be released under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license.
Stay tuned!

OK, so it’s August 9 already, and probably even Aug 10 in Australia.
Looking forward to the controller details.

Patience!
We’re just tidying up some of the documentation before everything is released into the wild.
