    LED Light Box Troubleshoot

    Yeah, even if I do end up going with the kit, I would love to figure out what I'm doing wrong here.

    LED Light Box Troubleshoot

    Ok I will. :) I have been looking at the MK186 and it looks like something I can manage. I was hoping not to use a kit as a matter of pride, but this project has bested me.

    Light and sort of flat... But I'm sure I have one of those blocky ones around here somewhere if you think it would be better suited?

    He?! Desirae is usually a female name. We see a small enough percentage of forum members that identify as female by name or profile that we should notice when they come around. Yes, female. But not offended :)

    LED Light Box Troubleshoot

    You're right but the MK103 and the MK186 both use a microphone input. They would have to be modifed to take a line or headphone level input. I'm ok with the microphone picking up the sound instead of direct input of the audio. I was doing it that way because of the instructable and the fact...

    Now that looks promising! I can attach that to the 12v adapter I took off an old phone and hook up the led strip directly?

    LED Light Box Troubleshoot

    Sorry, to clarify, you mean replace the LEDs on the MK103 with a MOSFET and connect the strip via the transistor? Can I connect the MK103 to a 12v supply?

    LED Light Box Troubleshoot

    Aaah! I'm sorry. Bear with me, I'm new at this. :) No just one long strip. I wasn't counting the LEDs in the drawing, there are 15, so 5 segments in all.The packaging says "built-in current limiting resistor, which protects the LED from reversed polarity" so I assumed the answer was yes.

    They're already together, the strip can be cut at the end of any segment http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&category=BARS&Page2Disp=%2Fspecs%2FSE-WFLS.htm#photos

    KJ6EAD- do you have a rec on a better design that is beginner/intermediate?

    The audio source right now is my netbook, but ideally I'll hook it up to an ipod

    Instructables. http://www.instructables.com/id/Music-LED-Light-Box/step6/Building-the-circuit/ Mine is a similar one, I replaced a string of LEDs with the light strip. The idea is that when it's plugged into an audio source the LEDs will react to the audio input.

    12v and yes It lights up when the neg wire is on either side pin. Solid and bright, but is not sound reactive. The center pin produces nothing

    LED Light Box Troubleshoot

    Ok, so I'm working on a sound reactive light box and I am having an issue. When I connect the negative light wire to either side pin on the TIP31, I get constant light, but nothing when it's attached to the center pin. I thought maybe it was a bad transistor, but I switched it out with the same...
