@sparky3489 Nice man! Nice VU meter you send.

Haha, the relay thing was a kind of joke, because your vid is really dark:)

[sparky3489]

@turbojohnyS Relays are not very good with this sort of thing. Solid state is the way to go. I'll send you a link of what I'm talking about.

@thecooldude9999 I can see my LEDs light up, so yes, I can SEE my solid state work. Check out my work at sparky3489 dot webs dot com /pcinterfaceproject.htm

They replaced all the relays with solid state in the old phone networks BECAUSE of the very reasons I mention of WHY THEY SUCK!!!!

[turbojohnyS]

May I give you some advice? Build some relay on your lights, so we can see some more of your homebuid stuff:)

[thecooldude9999]

@sparky3489 thats why they are cool. can you SEE solid state work? no. you can SEE and HEAR relays work. relays are what made the old phone network awesome.

[sparky3489]

@thecooldude9999 Relays can't handle high current in repetitive cycles, they wear out, they cause line noise, their contacts oxidize over time, they use more current to operate, they are slow AND they take up too much space.

So no, they are NOT cooler. They suck.

Solid state is the way to go.

[thecooldude9999]

@sparky3489 relays are cooler.

[sparky3489]

My better DLP-IO8. No clacking relays. All solid state.

pentium3000 : i have just finish the code but u need to control the device over a web server and my current project were actually using linux OS and run it under a web server. it just that i want to make it simple so instead of going for complex coding, i'm using C program to control the board and CGI script to run it in web server environment. if you need to see the video i might upload it over youtube :)

[pentium3000]

can you even control it from the web? can you make a C program cuz i hate winbugs VB
