We designed these longboards to have high output LEDs on the bottom which are controlled by a programmable circuit board. Built as a weekend project. We are engineering students at USU.

  • this is awesome! you guys post any guides online on how you did it?

  • @DJOsborne10 I haven't made a guide yet but thats mostly because I have been making so many improvements to it. The version in this video is actually really really old, the current one supports USB so you can plug it into your computer and program your own patterns. I made a how-to video on etching the circuitboards though, and I can send you the schematic if you want. Its really not all that difficult. I can build one in a day.

  • great work guys

  • @XDoppyX Thanks, you should see them now. Has USB functionality to program your own patterns with a program I made and I'm now working on RGB LEDs

  • @BBgunsRNOT4meee I send them pre-programmed, but theres a USB cable that you can plug into your computer and run a simple program that lets you create your own pattern by just clicking buttons.

  • @BBgunsRNOT4meee A switch box? It has a microcontroller that sends signals to transistors to switch power to the lights. The fading effect is done by using pulse width modulation.

  • @BBgunsRNOT4meee I've been selling them for around $100 bucks. (It costs alot in parts and labor) but the current version is much more robust while these are pretty ghetto in the video Lol.

  • @badmemrys thanks man, worked hard on them

  • awesome
