DIYRC.COM - "MINI-STROBE" Rotating Beacon Simulator using a PIC and LED

DIYRC.COM - MINI-STROBE Rotating Beacon Simulator is based on the Mini-Beacon Simulator, but includes 6 patterns that have no delay between strobes. Using a PIC and LED (simulates rotating beacon light),, it simulates either a dual lens (no delay between strobes) or single lens (delay between strobes) effects. The effect simulates the rotating of the light/lens, and simulates the effect of the light ramping up (turning towards viewer), flashes (shines in viewers eyes), then ramps down (turning away from viewer)

Thanks Folks!

Thanks!

You can always connect LED controllers such as the Mini-Flash and Mini-Beacon together (via servo Y cable) such that you could use the same switch on your Transmitter to control both controllers... just a thought.

I would recommend this to anyone. Tom has been a pleasure to deal with as well! Great product Tom!

Super sweet creation!!! Just ordered one from you. It's going in my new 83" CMPro Cessna 182

I'm making a custom NAV light set... Would have bought your flasher/sequencer if I had a spare channel to work with.
