Thread: LightSequencer Retrofit Demo

In time for Christmas Eve night I finished retrofitting an old Coding4Fun sample to work more kindly with various hardware, specifically the FusionBrain v3 board I have.

Description on Youtube:

Converted the Light Sequencer program from Coding4Fun (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/coding4fun/a...3/1230660.aspx) to work with the Fusion Brain (version 3) (http://www.fusioncontrolcentre.com/) by Nicholas Vergunst and Tim Elmore.

The Fusion Brain v3, superseded by version 4 and soon v6, connects via USB and has, amongst other hardware, 12 outputs. I have connected these to relays via ethernet connections (simple wire connectivity) to control the four power plugs, from which the lights gain their power.

Versions 4 and 6 have PWM capabilities, and the v6 boards will have 31 outputs.

I edited the original code to be less hardware dependent, placing all hardware operations in HardwareHandler.cs (renamed from PhidgitHandler.cs)

Yes, its a terrible light show, but that's more my lack of artistic ability than any lack of software capability
