Ring Of Light Mimic And Inversion Tutorial Options

[Grim187]

as always im not responsible for any damage You do while using this tut.

Things you will need:
4 100ohm 1/4Watt resistors
2 PnP Transistors (i use 2N3906)
???ohm Resistor (depends on the number of led you will be using)
Leds, Soldering iron, Rosin Flux, Solder, a 360, Knowledge about how to open and mod the 360.

its pretty much a self explanatory diagram, if you have any questions feel free to post or pm me.





I fab-ed one up on some prefboard, i thought it might make it a little easier seeing it actually built.


Here is a Video of it On.


Thanks to Pablot for the Starter Diagram.

Edit2:

Ring of Light Inversion

Things you will need:
3 1UF 6+v Capacitor (has to be atleast 6v) (i have only tested it with Electrolytic Radial)
10meg Ohm 1/4th Watt Resistor
2 NPN 3.3v, 200ma or Greater Transistor
1 PNP 3.3v, 200ma or Greater Transistor
1 PNP 3.3v, 400ma or Greater Transistor (depending on how many leds you have hooked up)

bump for added info, no one wants to try this?

[ephesith]

looks pretty sick grim. Good concept

the diagram is confusing to me, but I can't read electronic..yet As far as where to solder the points. If I had a 360 to mod and a more detailed tutorial (for the non electronics guy) I would defiantly use this.

looks really cool but i could never figure out how to do it.

[Grim187]

well im board so i will wire up something a little easier to fallow.

alright, i put up a new diagram that doesn't look so complex, i figure if you cant read that you probably shouldn't be doing this mod.

thats really cool im surprised it wasnt done sooner!

this could be a very nice feature for any nicely modded box.

[belke]

now I understand, good diagram. Hopefully someone uses this

Nice tut, one question tho, in the vid, is just me or does your led's go (from left to right) 3,4,2,1?

[potato10]

so can this be used in anything? im guessing you just used the 360 for power or is that wrong?

[Grim187]

sinister slipknot: i didn't wire them to be in a right, i would just showing proof of concept.

potato10: Anything?, like what? TV? car? house? street?

[beetlemaniac]

How should I wire a single LED to function the same way as D5? Thanks!

[Retman]

A good mod using this would be to wire a led tray (one of those boards with a few leds on it) to each side and when you turn your 360 on it will looks sweet as.

Thanks for the guide

[Gothguy]

wow very nice

[HackerSupreme]

Why can't you just take off the SMDs and solder extension wires?

Or just solder wires to the SMD pads with theSMD leds on? would be a little messy, but you would haven't to screw with transistors....
