Did anyone see the episode (in the last few days, @ 4pm) of the "Salvage Squad" on Discovery ?
They restored a full sized steam galloper!

Unless it was weekend I would have been working but will have to look for it on catch up.

I thought I should post a update in case you all thought this had gone by the wayside again.
I have been busy getting the boards ready for the lights the boards for the top (smaller) dont need any resisters as they are inline on those LED's however the lower boards do as there was not enough room to put them inline in a tidy fashion on those.
the two chips on the board are one SN74HC595 (shift registers) which have a voltage limit of 6volts a mere 80 mA so the second chip is a UDN2981AT which will supply up to 50v at .5A and since I am only using 9 volts and approximatly 320 mA with all light onthey should be more than comfortable here, it took me a while to find these as most of the other drivers are designed to sink the current which would not suit the way I have wired up the LED's.
so anyway pic 1 shows the various bit and 2 shows the first board in the place it will be fixed to, could have done with wiring the connecters the other way around but it should not harm anything the way they are.

Congratulations. :beer:
Great to hear that you are still plugging away Shipto. I, along with many others will just be patient and wait with eager anticipation for the grand unveiling. :coffee: Not to put any pressure on your good self though. Just keep enjoying what you are doing.
