I just asked for one of these boards, it will be nice to have the correct fade effect.

When I'm not at work I'll have to look at this thread again for details on what I need for that wire.

Hey all. We now have successfully installed pellew's board in our BoP.
Here is a video of the final result. We're using retro LEDs:

Here are some photos of the installation:

Looking good! Thanks pellew!

Nice vid of it in action. What is doing the other lighting effects on the face?

I ordered one, now I need to get some wire and the connector. Is the one linked above correct?

Quoted from jsa:

Pinduino. There's a guy here who sells a Pinduino BoP kit which is pre-programmed for this.

I'm sorry, I don't understand, for what?

Oh, my mistake, that last portion was for anyone, not just you, about the connector Forecflow linked to make the wire connection to the board to get it to work properly.

I'll have to look into the Pinduino kit, looked cool.

I finally installed this board along with the wire mavantix made for me and I'm really pleased! Looks so much better with proper fade. I may have to get different LEDs, I like the idea of the retro LEDs mentioned earlier in this thread.

Thanks for making this board @pellew!

Hi all, 5 boards left, when they are sold out I don't have any plans on making more.
Thanks to all prevoius buyers and for the feedback!

I'm glad I was able to get one of these a couple of years ago. It's great getting the proper effect with LEDs in the helmet. Thank you for making this product.
