(Post mirrored from here.)
As I've vaguely mentioned in a couple of posts, I've been working on productizing the the EL wire interface cards I used in the Lightsuit. This involved getting a custom circuit board printed, which was a first for me. Designing some simple packaging and documentation was also fun. It isn't anything fancy, but it is entirely functional.
The kit was finished just in time for the Kitsap Mini Maker Faire last week. That makes it's past time to make the official announcement online: the Attoparsec Eight Channel EL Wire Interface Kit is now available!
What can this kit do for you? Control up to 8 strands of EL wire from a microcontroller. Why would you want to do that? Because it's awesome -- and can be lot more interesting than just having it blink.
Setting up that little demo took a couple of hours. For an example of what can be done with a little bit more effort...
The kit is selling for $20 in person, $22.50 online with shipping included. Plenty of time left before That Event In The Desert to do something really cool. Just saying.

Are the plans and code for your Arduino available as well?
At a dance having the suit react to movement would be a great effect.

I could draw up plans, but it's all pretty self explanatory. Other than the interface boards, I'm not going anything all that interesting with the electronics.
