Projects
On this page you will find information about the project I am working on.
SSROZ
The SSRoz is the first project I designed. This is a simple Solid State Relay for use with a number of controllers. The board can control four circuits, and switch AC loads.
The SSR connects to the controller via a CAT5 cable. The lights connect to the board via screw connectors. A fuse is located on the board and a LED indicates a connection to the controller.
SSREZ
The SSRez is a new version of the SSROZ. Based on feedback from users, the board was redesigned so that it would fit easily into a TA-200 Telephone Demarc Enclosure from YourBroadbandStore.com.
The SSREZ connects to the controller via a CAT5 cable. The lights connect to the board via screw connectors. A fuse is located on the board and a LED indicates a connection to the controller. The board also has additional screw connectors for a Neutral bus.
DC SSR
The DC SSR allows control of DC lighting loads that are not suitable for an AC version of the SSR.
The DC SSR connects to the controller via a CAT5 cable. The lights connect to the board via screw connectors. A fuse is located on the board and a LED indicates a connection to the controller. The board also has additional screw connectors for a Neutral bus.
RENARD 16
The Renard 16 is a PIC microcontroller based Christmas light controller with 16 solid state relay circuits incorporated into the board. Dave (Xmus) designed the board based on the PIC-based 8-port dimmer concept originally developed by Phil Short. Information on the original concept can be viewed here. Generic information pertaining to current Renard designs (including maximum channel count) can be found on the Renard wiki page.
DMX8-DCSSR
The DMX8-DCSSR was develped by a good friend of mine from DIYC.
I used this board last year, and it worked very well. With 8 DC SSRs on the board, and DMX control, I was able to quickly build and add this controller to my show.
DMX Splitter
The DC SSR allows control of DC lighting loads that are not suitable for an AC version of the SSR.
The DC SSR connects to the controller via a CAT5 cable. The lights connect to the board via screw connectors. A fuse is located on the board and a LED indicates a connection to the controller. The board also has additional screw connectors for a Neutral bus.
DMX3 DC SSR
The DC SSR allows control of DC lighting loads that are not suitable for an AC version of the SSR.
The DC SSR connects to the controller via a CAT5 cable. The lights connect to the board via screw connectors. A fuse is located on the board and a LED indicates a connection to the controller. The board also has additional screw connectors for a Neutral bus.
