Finally making use of these boards after 5-6 years of holding onto them.


Here's the board print (mspaint version)




Beginning:


Soldered up...



Here's how I have it wired...

+ signal
diode
12v regulator
6 parallel circuits
4 3.0-3.2fV suberbright white LEDs in each series


Kinda a teaser as they aren't in my truck yet... Just finished the first one (it's rough since I wanted to mount the 12v regulator on the board, so it took place of the diode's position and the diode is in turn in the + wire coming into the board...

I am going to start production of these in red or white for sale on the forums...

I will let you all know when I have all of my parts in stock to start an initial build.


Initial production concept (plan to spread the design out a bit to disperse the light more)

I can do blue as well...

Price may slightly vary depending on the price of LEDs and parts I need to get... some colors cost like 200% as much as white. >_<

Once I get the time to sit down and figure out my costs, I'll post a set cost after building the first few sets.

This is my first concept layout for the production boards... The LEDs will be more spread out when I actually get around to production layout.. Was just testing how much room I had on my board.

Those would look good under the dash as interior accent lights.... I'm surprised Buggman hasn't hopped onto this idea haha. I'm thinking that one could wire it into the dome light so when that comes on, the floors have light too.

I actually don't think bugg is going to step on my feet on this one...

I have been talking to him quite a bit about them actually :P
