  I’m wondering if anyone has and knowledge of the light ramp and decay times. So when we apply a specific current, how long does it take for the light output to reach maximum? And then when the current is removed, how long for it to fall off?

  Not directly. You will need to use a switching power transistor that can handle at least one amp. The arduinos handle like 40ma per I/O pin (for the uno at least). I’m not an expert in this so please consult others. But using a mosfet transistor is the way to go. Then you use the arduino to turn the led on and off through the switching transistor. This may help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te5YYVZiOKs

  I bought one for my daughters and I for Christmas. Unfortunately, my wife thinks we need to wait till Christmas to start assembling it. So we will. I’m excited and my daughters will be when they find out.

  I’m thinbking about power consumption. So if I put say 10 of these together that gives me 10x80 LEDs possible. If I turn on all 80 LEDs are they really all on at the same time? How do I manage power consumption? Sorry I’m pretty new to all of this.

  The state of foosball is teally sad. I played in college (in the early 70’s) when foosball interest was peaking. A class mate and I we unbeatable at times. We played in every table we could find and on one was decent. Rene Pierre tables give the player fantastic control over trapping and shooting. Once the German tables showed up (they were cheaper), foosball because a “slap” game and not a game of real control. I long for a Rene Pierre table.

  This encoder is way too expensive given its limitations.

No public wish lists :(
