EL tape example
07/23/2015 at 07:54 • 0 commentsI reran the EL chasing with the addition of a coil of EL tape as well. The EL tape is much brighter and hides much of the chasing EL.

BOM tweaks
07/16/2015 at 17:53 • 0 commentsFound a bug in the design with the wrong resistor creating a current restriction. I also increased the capacitance a little too. In general, this should improve larger EL lengths.

Software good enough
07/11/2015 at 07:44 • 0 commentsI have tweaked the example program to get a good demo from the Sparkfun chasing EL wire. The Arduino driver can set any parameter and the board seems really easy to configure. The only possible thing left is to read the register values back, but that isn't critical to the function. I have posted the software and made some of the board for sale on Tindie.

High voltage clearance
04/04/2015 at 18:15 • 0 commentsI am redoing the layout as the spacing to follow IPC-2221B better near components. Otherwise, I'll be working on software for this board and finishing testing with the current design.
