Question About EL Wire Project

Post by OneSpeedRacer » Thu Jul 30, 2015 10:48 am

Greetings, fellow humans!!!!

I'm hoping someone may be able to provide some guidance on an EL wire project. I'd like to EL wire a jacket or vest with two separate images and have them flash alternately. For example, one image of a fleur d' lis (I'm from New Orleans), and another of The Man, flashing alternately. Each of these may be two colors, but could also be a single color.

I'm not sure of the set up. I think I could easily have the patterns flash independently using two drivers each set to flash, but I'd rather they flash alternately, not overlapping.

I would probably use fairly small gauge EL W.

Thanks in advance, for any guidance you may be able to provide!

Speed...

Search the Internet for "sequential el wire controller electroluminescent" or "multi-channel el wire controller electroluminescent". Many have more than 2 channels. Sequential EL technology is common on the playa, best with the art part of it!
