Mighty Mini group buy

[cpnbnanamn]

Just so you know.. Seth over at DIYC has started another mighty-mini group buy...

mm2012.freeforums.org • View forum - Group Buy

I'm already in, and I think Jack is too...

I am; I need some replacement LEDs, so getting a couple of "spare parts" kits, plus two more MM's. Also a roll of RBG strip. That's not pixels, but not as expensive as pixels, either.

I have some MM circuit boards. I think there are 4 of them. I will sell them for $10 for all.

I thought the Rainbow was more powerful, for less money ?


Here's a post from January 14th by John ..

..................

The Generation 1 Rainbow Floods (from 2010) are MUCH brighter then the Mighty Minis. I can use 2 of the Gen 1 Rainbow Floods to get the same coverage that it takes 3 Mighty Minis to provide. (I am sorry I wasted the money on the Mighty Minis, each one cost almost 3 times the price of the Rainbow Floods in 2010, however I built the MM before the Rainbow floods were available)

The Gen 2 Rainbow Floods currently being sold are even brighter still then the Gen 1 version.

The Rainbow Brain is NOT constant current.

Unless you just want DMX for something else right now, and where you say you just want to keep it simple for right now, I agree with Mark, use the LOR DC cards. That is what I do. The distances you mentioned are very similar to what I use with no problem.

That way you can continue to use the MP3 Director (I use it also) to run your display and avoid for right now the extra expense of the iDMX, Rainbow Brains and the dedicated PC.

Speaking of the MP3 Director, an upgrade and/or replacement of the MP3 Director is scheduled for this year (should have been last year, but the earthquake in Japan caused parts and supplier issues) that will have greatly enhanced capabilities. Just what those are hasn't been publicly announced yet, but native DMX output sure would be nice.

I also have around 20 of the $7 DMX modules, and they are very nice.

Here's the discussion thread:

Rainbow Floods hookup

and where you can buy them for $20.

Denny -

I think you are right about the Rainbow floods, but I already have some MM's and wanted to stay consistent within my display with that type of thing. I ordered a couple of spare parts kits through the group buy to do some repairs; some of the colors are either half or fully out on two of my minis.

If no one else speaks up, I'll take the boards. Not 100% certain I'll build them out, but probably will.

Jack or Roger I have two board Y'all can have for $5, or anyone else in that case.
