I think it was here where someone did something similar to what I want with a time tunnel. The plan is to do something similar but for a spiro.
I want to make a RGV spiro with automatic colour switching, but the twist is I want to align the lasers as though they were in a scanner so that I can combine the colours and even have multi coloured spiro effects. I have thought about it for a bit and decided that the motors and RPM controll will be powered by a seperate 12V battery and the 3 colours will be wired into their own flex drives and then into a controller of some sort (555 timer has been suggested).
Thats where things get complicated... how exactly can I run red, green and violet from 1 battery (probally another 12V) without damaging the drivers and still providing enough power to run them all at the same time.
It gets slightly confusing at that point...
