Here is mine I did it today as a first time mod Stays on and has led projectors on inside area. Modded this one to be a static display for on my back. So no outer ring.

Remember its my first mod.

Yeah I ain't any propmaster or soul inertia. But I'll end up with one of soul's kits probably.

Thanks! On my next try, I think I'm going to do the same thing, but replace the center C-ring with EL wire.

**EDIT**

Here is the video showing how I did it:

Well prop I want to do a mod of your's and or soul inertia but I don't have 100 per disc to invest lol they are just replicas. I mean if I had the official one or same size as the movie prop. I could see spending 100s to make it light the same way. I'd love a cheap solution. Lol. Or cheaper than 100.00

That's the thing about an electronics package kit, the hobbiest can put it in anything they wish, if they have the skills....
The TRON disc is just what my kit will be designed for specifically and electronics of this type are never really cheap.

There are LED strips now that can light up a disc very well. I have used them myself. But, there is no basic animation of the LEDs.
That's what the added elecTRONics and internal modifications are for.

As they say, (for me) time is money when it comes to design and developement. I don't have allot of free time to put toward developement. I have plenty of work on my bench which takes priority.
For a hobbiest, they have plenty of free time to work on projects with no obligation to get it done.

I too would be interested in finding out if someone has developed a cheeper way which looks and functions as well....(and not have to learn a new programming language).
For me, $100 would just cover the "E" components only and not cover the developemental labor to put those parts to proper use.

In the mean time, until I get back to my little project, this guy and his team seem to have a pretty good handle on the TRON Disc mod with his microcontroled, animated electronics kit:

Tron: Legacy Costume

I had asked him the same, as the end result of his mod of it was perfect. But as he's stated, the cost to do it would be quite expensive.

I was thinking of using an Arduino and adding the LEDs, not too difficult, but I can't get past that the capable Arduinos (or most/any of the other boards) just won't fit inside the disc. I'd prefer to have everything completely inside the disc and have the same end result as propmaster's disc mod.

I agree Akira, I saw on once with the controller and board in the middle of the disc and thought damn that was nasty looking. Keep me informed of your progress. I am interested.
