Hey LPF!
I've been thinking about making my own version of FML's full color driver for people and selling it. When I wanted to make my own RGB and RGV systems, I would have really like to have been able to buy one of his drivers and it was a pain to design my own. Seeing as he is no longer selling them anymore, I thought I might be able to help the community out by offering my own version.
My version operates slightly differently, but it has the exact same capabilities in terms of programs and effects. Each channel is limited to a maximum of 5A, so you won't be limited by the driver with how powerful you can make your RGB/RGV. I already have the circuit designed and tested, but I wanted to put out a feeler to see how many people would be interested before I start ordering parts and putting a few finished models together. If there is enough interest here, I will finalize some designs and show you guys what it looks like, then hopefully start making them for people. FML's cost around $85 and mine will be no more than that, hopefully significantly less. I'm aiming for around $50-60.
This is JUST a feeler! I have not committed to making these yet but I was really curious about the possible desire for these kind of drivers.
If it does generate enough response, I will make a final design, send it to a few people of greater repute for further testing/proof it works, and then start making and selling selling my own version of FireMyLaser's full color driver.
Let me know!
