Lastly this years xmas pressie from my wife. Last year I received an Arduino board from my son. This year albeit I had to order it all myself, she paid for it, is a DLC.
This little card of magic is a digital light controller, from a rather nice chap in Germany, who had I believe just 3 of these left for sale, with postage it came to around £32.
What does it do? well hopefully I can get it connected to all the lights over the weekend and put a video demonstration on here for it to be viewed. Basically it makes your led lighting behave like the real thing. SOme can be shown like a flourescent light flickering, others with the brightness of xenons and the way they die out slowly when turned off etc etc. very realistic.
So tune in sometime on sunday and see if there is another update of it in operation.
