− | Control 8 segments of EL wire in an on-off or variable | + | Control 8 segments of EL wire in an on-off or variable brigtness mode. Any segment can be off or on independent of any other. 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 is the 16F877A but could be one ( or more ) of the many PIC microcontrollers. Uses a serial boot loader for programming ease. Programming done in BoostC. Now will try to uses these abilities to find interesting ways to use them. |

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. |
