RGB Micro-Controlled Light Bars

Ten Red/Green/Blue 5' light bars, hooked into a microcontroller that produces various patterns. Recorded with a common Panasonic Lumix TZ5 camera, and as a result the colors are not accurate at all for night-shooting. Some of the color flashing sequences just appear blue and a little green, when in reality they completely overload your senses with hard ROYGBIV colors. Also the room sometimes appears really dark, when the entire room is an even glow. Used to demonstrate my new Instructable, view them all @ http://www.instructables.com/member/QuackMasterDan/

The guide for these light bars is @ http://www.instructables.com/id/ESTRWXVFYTCLJ5J/

Gah, some jerk gave my video a 1 star rating, it's not that bad is it?

[StoshTech]

its not bad at all. its actually REALLY cool. i cant wait to set this up. is there a manual override so you can set just a steady color to come on?

[QuackMasterDan]

Yeah, I'm using a RGB Microcontroller kit from bigclive (search on google). It's got pre-programmed patterns, and the video is of me clicking through them. You can pick any solid steady color, and change timings on all settings (so fast fade or slow fade, different blinking patterns, etc)
