PhotoBooth Controller Service Version 1.5.0 available!

LED Ring Controller

I updated the Photobooth Controller Service. The service now allows to configure an initial light effect that is shown on the LED ring after the services started. This allows to check the functionality as well as to set an initial light effect before the booth application is active.

The new version may be downloaded here.

Photobooth Controller Software 1.4.8 available!

LED Ring Controller

I created a new version of my Photobooth Controller software package. The service application was further stabilized.

I also extended the setup functionality. The service will now be started automatically on successful installation. If the LED Ring is connected during the installation, the connection will be tested automatically.

The new version is available here as download.

Photobooth Controller Software Version 1.4.7 available!

I created a new version of my Photobooth Controller software package. The service application was further stabilized. It is now able to automatically determine the LED ring interface port. This prevents problems caused by frequently changing COM port assignments on some Surface models.

I also extended the setup functionality. The administrative user required to run the service can now be created automatically by the setup process. The service will now be started automatically on successful installation. These changes should neutralize the traps during installation experienced by some users.

The new version is available here as download.

I designed and built a LED-ring for the Nissin MF18 ring strobe. The ring features 28 LEDs that are arranged around the flash. The ring covers the openings on top and bottom of the strobe.

The LED-ring may be controlled by a number of photo booth applications  through my controllers.

LED Ring Controller now as Windows Service

I overhauled the LED Ring Controller. It is now available as Windows Service. It runs in the background and can be started automatically at system startup.

A new function has been added to the LED ring firmware. It now supports a free running automatic countdown function. This allows to use countdown in Breeze or Darkroom Booth.

To support applications that can only call commandline functions, a helper application has been added.

The latest version of the software and firmware is now available on my website.
