Cylon eye $130

Post by nashslash » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:23 am

OK, like I said in another post my friend is currently working on the development of a 32 LED scanner. after lots of research he say today he's about ready to start to make a prototype scanner. once its ready I will post some pictures and video of it. I just wondered how many others may be interested in one ? he suggested that the components should run at about $40-50 (

I would be interested. Is there a time frame on when he will start production?

How will the LEDs be mounted? Will they be loose so they can be custom mounted or will they already be in a bracket?

Regards,
Chris A.

Hummmm... I'm on the fence. I want to make my one to learn from - and I have an IDEA to enhance it :twisted: - however - if your friend can make one that is GREAT.. I could decide to purchase one. I'll wait for the photos/videos.

I'd be interested as well, pending seeing one "in action" once the prototype is done.

So GUESSING at the other's quantity your list would be:

NASH = 1 x please
Cylon-Knight = INTERESTED IN 1 x pending more info
cblackthorne = INTERESTED IN 1 x pending more info
Mr Fett = INTERESTED IN 1 x pending more info

-Would the scanner include a "speed" setting? (Scan slower/faster).
-Would it include any sound effect/sound system? Or ONLY be lights?
-Would the LEDs "fade" on/off... to create a smooth scan - NOT each LED harshly blinking on and off quickly "appearing" to fade since they go so fast?

there is going to be a variable speed setting.
no sound just LED
you last question is unknown until its made... hes ordered the parts.
as for mounting he said he will fit them in to a strip of styrine, you can either keep them in that of remove them for your own mount.

I might be interested in that. You could include some of the diffusion paper that was discussed in another thread also to smooth out the scanning even more.

So, the updated listing... we are up to 5 units.

P.S. nashslash, what would you guess the shipping to be for one to find its way to America?
