Eh, ive done soo much electronics work. Its called its too freaking cold outside to work... Try routing over 100 leds behind the guage faces and around the stepper motors. I used individual resistors (cause they came with the leds and I was too cheap to buy new / too busy to calculate new resistance levels for serial leds). Also, I was in a hurry so there was not much testing / debugging (refer back to its freakin cold outside). smile.gif

So I am assuming you know what its like to rush tongue.gif

My claim to fame so far with electronics was making a computer controlled 'brain box' to control 5 event triggers and 12 outputs. The hardware utilized the parallel port of a computer for the timing functions. I had 3 of those bad boys running all the pneumatic and special effects I created for a local haunted house. Too bad I dont help them anymore, I would love to have my boxes back 02.gif.

A note to all: If you make something cool, dont let the people who's using it re-imburse you for the materials 02.gif

Ohh, no... I am assuming you are gathering this from the 'freakin cold outside' statement. No, I did the work in a work shed (outside with a small 1500 watt space heater). I coulda did it inside, but I didnt want the dust from shaving the leds all over the place.

I have a second cluster that I had in my car when I was working on my original.
