600 bulb Pixel LED project with GUI Software
An average person without any knowledge of flash and animation can work stunning designs using this simple and easy to work software interface for pixel LED's like WS2811, 1903, etc. Matrix of any size can be designed with maximum of 600 bulbs. Up to 30 eye catching designs with more than 16 different transition effects can be programmed. Versions of software included in the project 600v2.1, 600v3, and Newly released 600v4 with 800 bulb design capacity. High resolution schematic included to ease any fault finding and PCB designing
Installation method and licensing:
Once the software is opened, click on "MachineID" found on the extreme right of the top toolbar. A unique ID will be generated. Post the same here in the forum (in plain text and not as attachment) to get a licence from Ahmad_k moderator. Please do not post Private messages to share the Keygen or Licenses in private.
Once the correct serial number is entered, click "OK" and close the software. Re-open it and see it works as full version. Any version of the software will work with same key provided it runs on same machine on which it is registered. Once you enter the valid serial number, "Licence.lic" file will be found in the main folder. You can copy the same license to the folders of other versions to make it work.
1200 bulb Pixel LED project with GUI Software
After a we had some demands in advance for the 1200 pixel software here is the full package for the Project. Download the full folder and go through the "Read me" file before you start anything. More details about the project and other files are given about what and how. 1200v5 SysInfo.exe is an application to get started. Double click to run this application. and click "Generate" a file named "HardwareID.txt" will be created in the same folder. Post it as an direct attachment (Not a Link) in the project thread with a request to get a license from Ahmed_k moderator. In return a "license.lic" file will be given by which placing inside the main folder along with the 1200V5. exe will work as full version.
NOTE: Please put your MachineID in plain text in the request post. There is no need to attach it
200 bulb Pixel Belt project with GUI Software
This software is similar the 600 bulb software but instead of a matrix, this software is cable of designing designs and animation only on a a single thread / belt of Pixel LED's. High resolution schematic included to ease any fault finding and PCB designing
Installation method and licensing:
Exactly same as 600bulb software. But you need to get a licence from Ahmed_K Moderator to run it. As previously said, post your Machine ID related to this software in plain text and not as an attachment.
5000 bulb Pixel LED project with GUI Software
Initially me and some of my friends had a strong doubt about this project as it uses only one Atmega8 with a Flash chip and claims about driving 5000 Pixel LEDs. So it took time while i gave the software to some practical users in the lighting decoration field and the software is now practically tested to drive 4000+ leds in real. Two software's can be found in the folder. One is the interface to design any patterns which works without any permissions. The second one is a code generator which imports the Project file generated by the design software and generates a BIN file which is then programmed in the Atmega8 and the Flash chip. You can chose to have any flash chip from 8Mb to 128mb depending on the designs you need. Once you load the project file, click "Generate Bin for the Flash" and then "Generate BIN for the Atmega8" and program both. For getting a license file, post your machineID in the open thread below with a request to Ahmad_k
1800v1.3 Pixel LED GUI Software with 1800 Pixel bulbs Capacity. Uses Single Atmega328 microcontroller. Schematic and PCB exacty same as 600V4. Just use Atmega328 in place of Atmega8. Licencing same as 1200v5. Generate machine.id and attach link.
5000V2.4 Pixel LED GUI Software with 5000 Pixel Bulbs capacity. Added dimming feature for output. More animations, Single GUI interface, Manual Layout, Accepts SWF, animated GIF and screen capture functions. Licencing same as 1200v5. Generate machine.id and attach link. Uses Single Atmega8 with Flash chips from 8mb to 128Mb. Single controller and Manual layout functions working. Neutral cut and block connection options yet to be activated by the original author.
For those who have taken licenses and are keen to learn how to work and make designs, and programming, i have included links related to videos which explain the same. Note: These are not my videos / uploads.
Licence Eligibility: Junior members and above levels only. Other requests will be deleted.
