teeth i had a feeling you were awayish lol, hopefully i can catch you on google, so i can send you some goodies…theres a lot and a lot more coming…so im not sure if should just wait and send an entire batch…either/or stuff incoming soon 
spenz, i would love to see an ultimate HAPPiL project, grew up on those and ive always been a fan…well of the sticks anyways…man after finish my ssf4 trials, i think its time for me to try a new layout and buttons, feels like my hands are being raped.
wow those look great, i gotta post of some of my final renders they look to damn close to the final product its surreal looking forward to seeing pwn pin multi-million color insanity soon
ha, thanks Shin, the possibilities are limitless. as per the configurator (SparkyConfig.h) in the SVN, i will be opening up the pattern to allow for hex based color schemes, ie: #ff0066 = pink, #ff9900 = orange, #ffcc99 = beige (LOL), #999966 = moss and so on.
Think there is a bug with the application. I went to save my own color pattern and the SparkyConfig.h file wasn’t saved/edited properly. It would be missing most of the info needed to make the SparkyClass object.
finally got a arduino setup and a atmega328 chip so I’ll be able to install a sparky in my custom.
btw, what color will the leds make if you select the black color in the app?
@gum, in the configurator, i believe black just means off. but i could be wrong 
This is a stupid question, but I’ll ask to entertain everyone anyways… Is the VCC from the Akiship PS360 board enough to power 8 LEDs, and use several different color combinations for the light up activation? And can sparky be purchased w/ screw down terminals. (SN, never soldered a day in my life.)
@yceman i believe sparky accepts any voltage between 3.7 and 5v. my first sparky came with the a x3 screw terminal for the rgb color pins. but there are a lot of other pins to account for. i would contact 32teeth and he might be able to hook up some headers for you. this is an advanced mod, tho and soldering will be necessary some where, at for now.
sorry ive been mad busy, but finally here we go :
You can view the full flicker set here and a couple choice high res ones in my deviant art gallery here.
Yes, it runs of standard 5V.
The test run of Sparky Jr PWM is complete, video shortly. That being said, there will be the next round i will be prototyping with ONLY screw terminals. Determining cost for 21 screw down terminals (8 Input Buttons, 8 Common Output, 3 RGB output, 2 VCC/GND)
@Shin, NICE renders. look real good. Full screw down set soon.
update, here are the videos of the prototype pwm in action.
3 clips, same config, different environment lighting

teeth thanx man you kno i put a lot of time into those interesting i was unaware that they made screw terminals in the 0.1" pitch variant, the only actual ones that ive come across have been either 2.5 or 3.5mm pitch but a lot of colors. i think that would def make things easily accessible to more people out there. if you did go that route it would take me about 12 secs to scale the ones i am using now and do some new renders. please let me kno if you like/want/need the source files for anything you would like. i personally like the idea of using headers
the videos came out really nice. now im not sure if its me, the pwm or the vid themselves, but all the colors seem more vibrant and pop more than before, which is great and this is looking mighty nice
Nice job!
I think you could make a shield with screw terminals, or even make sparkplug itself a stacking shield with screw terminal footprints…
Hey @gummo
I updated the svn. You will need to get all four files. I only fixed it last night
Sorry about the delay
PMed about Sparky Jr with PWM
32teeth I will be ordering one of these as soon as you say they are available… god between this and the new arceyes… its pretty exciting to be a stick builder! Good job!
I actually used Nerrage’s guide for soldering today and bought some stuff from Radio Shack to practice. Honestly, soldering is not hard, just takes practice to become efficient. I’m still waiting on my case, but I’m definately looking to get some Arc Eyes, and Sparky Jr to put in my stick. Looking forward to seeing more on Sparky Jr PWM w/ the screw downs, less soldering for me means less room for error.
well that is just it. less work for the end user. the only thing is that the end user will need to incur additional cost. so we are trying to figure out a reasonable approach to keep the price down.
If you guys are patient, there will be opportunities to get them both Arceye2 and Sparky (jr or PWM) together to save you on shipping 
keeping in mind cost effective measures and passing savings onto the end user, all the SMT components have been moved topside for this one. we will get some prototypes of this one in a week or so. more updates then
(for more details, see news from January 24th on main page)
geez more work for me to do…lol jk wow this look a bit longer than the last one…those damn screw terminals take up a lot of space! i can prolly start this one soon, and my renders of pwm+plug will be here soon, but they are just taking forever to render is this up in the svn yet?
Yep, it’s in SVN, but i moved the Resonator out from below the 28 pin dip.
