ARC EYE 3: LEDs made easy!

Bleh, I guess with people throwing in questions, I might as well too.

  • In stock form, compatible with Seimitsu snap-ins/screw-ins? [I’m presuming yes, since I think the interior clearance of Sanwa clears are tighter than Seitmitmus?]
  • The new LED controller, compatible with ArcEye2s? [I don’t see why it wouldn’t be, they’re just LEDs; might need some custom connectors?]

Yes! :wink:

Semitsu snap yes, semitsu screw, no.
LED controller works with ArcEye2 :wink:

Excuse me but, I just jizzed all over this thread.

One question though, will the new ones be able to fit loosely over a JLF shaft cover? With the old ArcEye, the PCB gripped the shaft cover meaning that the wires ended up getting ripped out if you ended up spinning the cover.

I sense a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of boners all cried out at once, and were suddenly sated.

Is this why there hasn’t been any updates on the new Spark boards? :smiley:

It would take a very teeny bit of soldering on the controller, and isn’t supported, but it should be possible.

Just tried, and nope. But there’s more than one reason why. You’ll see.

OMG! really excited for this.

But is there at least enough space to Gummo it.

Very stoked… still haven’t installed my AE 2s in my led project stick

Errant posts moved and cleaned up.

I saw a tray of these a few fridays ago, @purplearms let me hold one, and the punched me in the head to forget what i saw.
@toodles & @purplearms nice work on the collaboration, impressive.

Thanks for the kind words, 32teeth.
Just so you know, the Sparky Jr link in your sig is being flagged by Google as a malware site; the link is causing any thread you post in including this one to pull up a big scary warning in Chrome because of it. Could you undo the link or get that cleared up with Google?

That means i’ll have to start new projects when this comes out. Can’t wait. I also would like to see 24mm LEDs. I’ll buy those right up.

And just when I’m ready to order some KNserts… better wait to see how these new AEs will look.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but as I understand, are you saying that these new leds are not going to be compatible with Seimitsu’s screw buttons?

Well, looks like there’s ANOTHER set of LEDs I need to order up. Really interested in that LED controller.

Glad to see Purp and Toodles work together.

Remind me to check and see if an AE2 would do the trick. I’ve got a few, so we may be able to get that working on IS again at some point.

Yes, this! I’m only able to bring up this thread on my iPhone; exactly as Toodle’s described, Chrome doesn’t like you amigo.

Wow evo is mad packed. Toodles is getting swarmed!
Already sold out of AE3 before I even make it over to his table.

AE2 is for screw in semitsu and will work with the new controller board with some minor modification (no support will be provided for this and you assume the risk to do it). AE3 is for SANWA snap in 30mm, although it might be glue-able to 24mm (I have yet to try). Keep in mind that the controller onlcontrols 8 buttons. You will have to light them up on your own.

I will try to shoot a video with toodles today or tomorrow and upload it as soon as I can

hope AE3 compatible with [SIZE=5]OBSC-30[/SIZE]

So any idea on when these babys are gonna be up for sale? (AND HOW MUCH!!)
