Looking for things to do...

Well since I'm in the same boat as every else, waiting on parts, I went back to the final touches on wiring my panel

Here's my LED Caution and Warning system


And here's a close up. The Lexan cover is just taped into place to verify alignment of the legend


You can see a 3 side by side module on the wide shot over the Dynon. I designed and made a PCB to mount the LED and there is a selectable flasher circuit for each channel. if any one else is interested I can share further details.

Yes dimming is possible all of the LED's share a common ground. I'd have to research potentiometer values

The module uses off the shelf LED "bar display" DIP's. There are actually 8 LED's in each package

I used one of the online PCB manufacturers software to lay out the board with ZERO space between LED packages. I had my panel laser cut so the LED's fit snug in the hole The legend is actually done in Photoshop then printed backward on clear address label then stuck to the piece of smoked Lexan. I'm working on mounting the Lexan right now

Hi Larry
I'm interested too. One question I have is there any way to dim the LEDs?
