November 6, 200618 yr This is pretty sweet. I've seen a better christmas one, if I can find the link I'll post it. I'd like to know how to do it.
November 6, 200618 yr The xmas one is m3n. Far better in my opinion. here is rev 1 (Trans-siberian Orchestra) http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=0c8cbd7e3b88e96da2cc1fd2a1837c17.672127 here is rev 2 (Barbara Streisand): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LYcsGtPC8Y But I am out of season. (I have attained unragable status)
November 6, 200618 yr xmas ones win but this is still pretty cool - i sure as shit could never pull something like that off
November 6, 200618 yr Author the xmas one used commercial software and hardware... i think he spent almost 3 grand i spent 40$ total i made the pcb board myself, used a uln2803a ic to controll the relays, i hgooked it up to my printer port, and controlled everytjhing via a c program i wrote myself... im gonna learn how to make shit for usb hopefully before xmas for a bigger dealy thing...
November 6, 200618 yr Author as fasr as me being gone... well suspended from school, got a second job, no time... either working or in (other) school... moral of the story. kids, if you are security inclined and have a decent concious, IGNORE IT... do NOT report securityu flaws for free to your college lol they live by the "ignorance is bliss" theology
November 6, 200618 yr O wow I had no idea you made it yourself. In that case, serious props are in order. The price comparison puts it in perspective a little more.
November 6, 200618 yr Spiff, did you do that, and also was the music playing at the same time as the lights, or did u put it in and where is the music from
November 6, 200618 yr Author music was being BLASTED from 600 watt 6.1 surround sound speakers. its marilyn mansons cover of "this is halloween" he made for the re-release of nightmare before xmas in 3-d yeai made it all myself... when i do my xmas display ill take pics of how i did it and write up a tutorial for EE noobs to try at home
November 7, 200618 yr Author i built a parallel controlled relay board much like http://kitsrus.com/kits.html kit74 http://halloween.sitenation.com/site/view/article/1082566342/ca http://halloween.sitenation.com/site/view/article/1082575651/ca that makes it pretty self explainitory you write to the parallel port using 0-255 8 lights, 255 possible combos each light represents a bit so like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 just add up the numbers for which lights u want on... for example if u want lights 1 3 6 and 8 on it would be 165 or \xA5 in hex i then used delays (sleep) in c to time everything ill make a nice tutorial with pics and shit when i do my xmas display (if i do it) for now, digg that link so others can enjoy :)
November 7, 200618 yr Good job with putting that setup together. Maybe you could also build a Herf gun and have that out in the yard so you could singe people when they walk by.
November 7, 200618 yr go outside and make friends holy shit who needs friends when you have the myg0t forums?
November 7, 200618 yr Author did you watch the video? the whole thing was outside, and i had a bunch of friends help carve the pumpkins lol...
November 7, 200618 yr nerd?. no. you're a cunt for thinking this is even slightly intresting why do you insist on calling EVERYONE a cunt lol
November 7, 200618 yr that was pretty cool with $40 definatly do a christmas one, but make it fucking crazy :wow:
