HOW IT WORKS

 

In this page I will show you the basics of how everything works.

there are several ways of making your lights animated, below is how most of us do it.

serial

parallel

digital I/O

stand alone

motor control

X10

Me personally I use a couple of the above. to control my lights on the whole to turn them on and off each night I use the X-10 modules. with these I just set a special alarm clock and when its time it sends a special signal to each of the modules and it will turn them on and off at the times I specify. (these also make great home automation devices)

I also use serial control for my lights that are synchronized to music. these were bought by lightorama.com
