A new version of the LED Ring Service is now available. It supports switching of up to 4 electrical relay channels.
This allows to switch mains-voltage devices like fans, fog machines or similar according to Booth Application states.
See the LED Ring Service page for details.
Again, I updated the LED Strip Controller. It features an additional light effect that allows configuration for wider arrows pointing at the lens. It may be configured as a single arrow, a symmetrical pair of arrows and runing in a bar across the area or filling up teh area with a color.
The new LED Strip light effects are also available as animated graphics on the PhotoBooth LED Ring page.
Updated versions of both the LED Ring Service and the LED Strip Controller firmware are available for download.
Again, I updated the LED Strip Controller. It features a new light effect that allows configuration for arrows pointing at the lens. In addition, the LED Strip Controller is now able to drive up to 500 LEDs. Please note, that a really strong power supply is required for that number of LEDs!

Updated versions of both the LED Ring Service and the LED Strip Controller firmware are available for download.
I extended the initialization routine in the service. It now sets an initial light effect on both LED Ring and LED Strip on system start-up.
The LED Strip is now also tested during installation and shows a light effect on the LED Strip on success.
The new setup is avaiable for download in the download section of the Photobooth page.
Constant improvement and functional extension led to a new light effect. The LED Strip Controller now allows to show a symmetrically running light effect e.g. on a pair of arrows pointing at the lens.
To use the new functionality, both the LED Ring Service and the Strip Controller have to be updated.
I designed a new controller to show light effects on a photo booth. It drives segments on LED strips to allow effects on arrows, the printer slot, buttons or similar. The controller is an add-on to the LED Ring. It is controlled by the LED Ring Service that synchronizes light effects with most common Booth applications.

New month, new features!
All light effects of the LED Strip Controller got a new feature. They allow to configure an effect duration to clear the strip after a defined time or the next effect, whatever occurs first.
To use the new functionality, both the LED Ring Service and the Strip Controller have to be updated.
Along with the new functionality came new bugs. The option to drive a LED Strip Controller together with a LED Ring Controller introduced a bug. It is fixed in the latest version.
The latest version 1.7.1 may be downloaded here.
A new year and new functionality! The LED Ring Service now supports the LED Strip Controller. The controller allows to show light effects at the printer slot, the coin slot or the buzzer or wherever you need a light efffect that depends on the application status. It is the ideal add-on to the LED ring.
You may find here the latest version 1.7.0 for download.
A bug in version 1.6.1 caused the service to malfunction without a DMX controller. I therefore fixed the problem and provide version 1.6.2 for download.
