Hi Hristo,

That was actually just featured on Hacked Gadgets, there should be a link in the article with additional information.

Hi Saga,

The current versions is V1.3 and V1.4. When purchasing the controller select the operating style at the bottom of the page.

Hi Alan

Well done this encoder works like a charm and has a 1000 uses.

Simpler you cannot get.

hi
i wanted to build an automated device for my project using the parts of a cd drive. can i use the same circuit to program the automation? wat i mean is can i change the program of the cd drive? im a mechanical engineer and i dont know much about programming. please help.

No you would not be able to change the CD-ROM firmware, you will need to add a custom microcontroller to add the functionality you need.

Hi Alan
I would like to buy your staircase light project kit. However, i can mount IR on one side of the not on the other. Instead of breaking the beam, Is it possible to use the PIR motion sensor with some modifications.

Regards
Saga

Hi Saga,

Yes, the stair lighting kit can work with dry contact devices such as motion sensors and under carpet pressure sensors. Please see page 35 of the manual for details.
http://alan-parekh.com/kits/stair-light-kit/

You will need two additional resistors which can be found here http://alan-parekh.vstore.ca/components-resistors-c-12_13.html

The beam needs to be mounted on opposite sides of the stairwell to work properly.

If you are looking for a system with more features please have a look at the Reactive Lighting system.

WHAT IS MENT BY JAMMER
Replied on: 10:35am 08-19-2011

The IR Jammer is a device that overwhelms an IR detector so that normal commands can not be received.

Hi Alan - I purchased the stair light system a few months back while completing my basement. I have finished it and installed the lights and they are fabulous. People love the system and many have inquired about it. My friends on FB are impressed and I have pointed them in your direction - please expect a few hits and some orders of the same.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the promotion to your friends.

Hi Alan,
I was looking to see how did you make that hard drive motorcycle. I thought it was so cool and I would like to make one for my uncle.
Replied on: 12:35am 09-16-2011

Yes it looked great. It was just featured on Hacked Gadgets though and was not made by me.

Hi Alan,
I could help and recommend a PIC Programmer, to record the (stair_ver1_0.exe) in the pic16f628

Hi Kurt,

I would recommend a PICKit 2 or 3.

Hi Flor,

You can see on this page how the PCB connections are made.

This project shows you the step by step process of using one to power an LED.

Sorry, that project was done long ago and unfortunately I don't have the code for it.
