Another New member..YAAHHH!!!

Hey EVERYONE!!,

I am on a new quest this year to explore, learn, and develop with the Arduino platform and components. I have already seen a few tutorials by Jeremy Blum on YouTube and know that the Arduino can be used to create light shows. This is my main quest! To create an awesome Christmas Light Show as well as learn other possibilities that I might just use around the house here. I am experienced in computers and have an intermediate understanding with programming(MS Visual Studio - last used in 2005). My problem will most likely be learning the electrical side of Arduino and how to put it all together. I hope I can really learn a lot and create this by November. Working full-time like we all do, it can be difficult to manage. I look forward to making the best effort and learning and collaborating with perhaps some of you on issues and concerns. Thanks for listening! Let's have a great year!

  • David,

    Just something I remembered. A friend put together a light show for a local band, and was having a lot of trouble with background RF noise, caused by the switching of the lights, getting picked up by the amplifiers.  His solution was to monitor the power input lines, and perform the switching (on or off) of light banks at the zero crossing.  This eliminated any power surge that occurred at the switching event, and got rid of all the pops on the line.
