I agree with Dan. I am sure many many people such as myself would LOVE of have one of the Auroras. If you could come up with a price for the Aurora in kit form and post the amount, then you could get a better idea of how many are then wanted. I know I would pay into the mid hundreds for one. Please think about it. You have something that NO one else has, so yes, it will sell. Keep us posted.

Is it possible to program the PIC with this?

If not, if you would be willing to at least give all of your amazed friends out there a copy of the files (HEX files for flashing the chips, Gerber files to get the boards made and a BOM with sources to purchase) we could attempt to make it. The Indestructables as a tutorial is enough so you have already done all of the work. I am a surgeon and have loupes and a steady hand. Surface mount components are a non-issue for me and although time consuming, I think I could do the whole thing by hand without a heating plate.

If you have the time, I am sure you can make a profit on selling partial kits with just the programmed PIC and PCBs. If you send a bulk order for PCB fabrication, the price can be small. You could post something and first see how many people are interested just to get an idea. I bet you would be very surprised by the responses. If not, then we are all stuck with the vicarious thrill of mesmerized watching on your beautiful website. Very nice work indeed!

It is under consideration. I will let you know when that happens.

Is there a kit available or finished PCB to build this marvel?

Thanks

How do you want to “adapt” the LED color bars?

I would like to make an LED “color organ” (these wre popular in the late 60′s early 70′s) that responds both to the amplitude and frequency of the input, usually from a music source. Usually the musical frequencies were split into 3 channels roughly low, medium and high frequency ranges. The effect was great as the rainbow colors followed not only the beat but the pitch of the music. Some really interesting color effects could be had. I would liketo find a way to adapt one one the current LED color bars available into a color organ. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks
