Cheap, simple way for strobes.

Post by Dog1 »

I found this at Radio Shack-

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... 2062571&cp

It will run 1-6 LEDs an a 9 volt. I cut the board off, removed the one LED that was on it and installed some new wires.

I now have strobes in my NX..

$3.99 + tax.

Could you please supply some more information?

1) What sort of blink/flash rate does it have?
2) Is the blink/flash rate adjustable?
3) What are the dimensions of the board, including the height of the tallest component?
4) can it drive several LEDs of identical current ratings but different voltages?
5)When wiring up multiple LEDs with this board, do you wire them in series or parallel?

Inquirring minds want to know!
When better multistators are built, they'll be built by Thetatronic Overdrive.
