I'd be interested on a purchase of the circuit board/setup needed to get the lights to handle the sequencing. I have soldering experience, but no tools/full knowledge on putting together a board to perform the task.

What would be great is if someone sold pre-programmed microcontrollers (PIC, Arduino, MSP430) to do the lighting effect. That would be less odious a task than designing an old-school circuit with shift registers.

EDIT: Check out the LED sequencer circuits about 1/4 of the way down this page. They should do the trick.

I was just thinking about this earlier. I'm sure for those in the know a sixteen light sequence shouldn't be too difficult. I bet with a bit of work a shimmering effect for the outer blade could be done as well

Those sequencer circuits are cascadable, so they can be made to use as many LEDs as desired.

agree
the light up is the best part

@propmaster
I saw that you used clear epoxy for the c ring. That seems a lot easier than cutting it out of plexiglass, which was my original plan. Did you use the epoxy stuff that comes in a syringe?

Is hyperdyne still active?
It seems like the guts for the hyper-blade would be something that could be converted for a tron-disc...

Just a thought

I'd be interested in a instructional CD. Or even a post on this thread with the instructions. Its more fun to do it yourself than just buying it off ebay.

I don't have the means or full knowledge to put together a circuit board, even with a microcontroller. So when/if someone makes one, that is just a matter of soldering up to battery pack and LED string, I'm in.

Most SMD strips take 12v, don't they? I powered mine using an A23 camera battery.

Just to clarify, if I produce a simple instructional CD on how I would enhance a TRON Legacy Disc with LED strips, it would be using just basic electronics (limited soldering) and no control start-up or sequencing.

Just 2 white LED strips with approx. 57 LEDs total, a 9v power source and a 3 position switch to activate the "C" seperately or Ring and "C" together.

The center "C" would light all at once as would the outer blade ring. Two seperate white LED strips would be used.....as shown in the recent photo above.
No start-up sequence or blade sequencing on my "Basic Disc Modification".

I am still keeping the original center "C" plastic piece intact and slightly modifying the original rubberized blade ring.

I hope this clarifies my thoughts above....

This truly amazes me.
I have no electronics expertise what so ever, which sucks as i want to do several of these disks for a wall display, so if you do decide to do a CD, ill most certainly be purchasing one lol.

what would you recommend do the c rings with?

Found this today

YouTube - Tron Identity Disc Mod Using Netduino Mini

theres a link to some code for it, but its beyond me at the moment.

I like the mode where its still all lit, but looks like its going around the disk.
