The technology will be open source, with the exception that the artist's may keep the algorithm behind their specific artwork as private as they want. The artist can keep all the electronics, I will ask to be reimbursed for my direct cost of what ever they want to keep. You can reach me through my page at open circuits [[russ_hensel]] |

Display can be divided into at least 100 time periods during which any combination of wires can be on or off. The length of each time period can be independently set. Microprocess will be one ( or more ) of the many PIC microcontrollers. Will use a serial boot loader for programming ease. |

Design printed circuit boards for project, turn EL driver routines into a reusable library. Will document procedures for more artistic types to do their own programming. |
