[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 348508, member: 16173"] My mate the chippy (sorry "cabinet maker") - v.easily bored! A couple of years back I helped him do a set of sliding gates: [URL="http://s1071.photobucket.com/user/johnnaughton/media/Sliding%20Gates/SAM_0119.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i1071.photobucket.com/albums/u506/johnnaughton/Sliding%20Gates/SAM_0119.jpg[/IMG][/URL] All working a treat but he wants to "embellish" it to highlight the gate opening. So............my idea is to inset some subtle 12V drive lights in individual blocks. Then to have a controller that will give a gentle Knightrider effect as the gates open and shut. Had a quick look on the sponsors sites for a suitable controller but does anyone know of anything off the shelf? If not I'll build something from scratch. (Just dug out an [I][B]Everyday Electronics[/B][/I] mag from 1986 with 3 similar projects in). Cricklewood Electronics here I come! Cheers [/QUOTE]
