Hello,
I built the Stair Light project and everything works great. Thank you so much. I have a small request to make. Is it possible to send me (or buy) the source code for step by step lighting. I have the "all led on" version but I realy want the version to light each led step by step. Thank you so much, Lucian

Hi Alan!

Thank you for stair light project. It works perfectly. Is it possible to get the hex file, version 1.3 or 1.4? I tried to MicroCode Studio (MCSX) but show me an error. I have no experience with this. It would be very happy if they could get the new version.
Best regards
David



P. S. Sorry for my english.

Hi Alan...
I bought your stair lighting kit from you six years ago and it's still going strong. I always meant to send you the pictures from the second story addition....well...

I just got to say, it is the hit of my remodel addition...

Thank you so much for the help and if you want pics of the finished product, just let me know.

Hi Alan,

Great videos!. Your projects are inspirational stuff.
I was wondering if you can guide me with my project.
I am working on a similar project but i have limited experience. I was wondering if you could provide me some information or schematics about how to connect solar panels,computer fans, motion sensors and a led light.

I want to connect to a solar panel :

-three 12V computer fans
-eight led lights
-one motion sensor

Computer fans and lights must turn on when sensor is activated by motion also computer fans and light have to stay turned on up to 10 minutes.

Again wonderful work there!

Thanks
Ivan J.

I think all you may need is a motion sensor that has a time output needed for the shortest delay then build a pulse stretcher circuit for the longer delay needed.

Hi Alan,

I would like to use the automatic light controller for two flights of stairs (three entrances). I have a 12 Volt DC source, 100 W and LED strip lights monochrome.
Do you think your controller would work for this setting?
Is it possible to have 4 sensors instead of two, one pair for each flight of stairs?
How much would that cost and how long does it take to get the final product?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Emil

Sorry this controller can't control strip lights due to their power consumption.

You might want to connect the beam sensor and see if it starts to work.

HI Alan, my son put together the gear clock christmas present last night. It only took him 3 hours to solder the board and assemble the clock. He plugged it in and its keeping time perfect. Not bad for a first time soldering on a board being only 12 years old. I'm so proud of him. It looks great. Or, in his words, "its ethic". I think he is hooked

Looks great Noel. Thanks for sharing it.

Excellent...I have seen the videos about the HD fans and I think its a great idea. Very cleaver indeed. I would love to know everything about electronics but I think there's too much to learn and I don't have a so good memory. Hats for all those people who have creativity and knowledge to reach their goals and build all kinds of things / gadgets. Rick

Hi Rick,

Just start small and learn from there.
