The driver board for Version B includes a 5V power supply, an Atmel ATTiny85 microcontroller that controls the LED strip, and a rotary switch that provides mode selection. It is similar to version A but lacks the accelerometer. The power supply itself is capable of around 1A, which is sufficient to power the 9 LEDs of the Cylon Eye LED strip. Even then, you should try to limit the distance between the Cylon Eye and driver board to 9ft or less. The on-board rotary switch programs a voltage that is read by the ATTiny85 via one of it’s analog ports, which is further resolved to determine the mode (i.e. flash pattern) of the Cylon Eye. This flash pattern can be changed in programming, so any 5 patterns can be used as needed. However, the programming as downloaded will provide the following functions:
Construction of the circuit board requires downloading the construction packet as well as ordering a circuit board from OSHPark.Com. You will also need to purchase the components. This is the recommended list for the components and sources:
