[gizmo]

I have been out of it for a while,

what chips are being used in the grinch now still the Allegro or something new

and can we still get "samples" for free?

if not where can i get them?

i have seen a post fro Digi-key but not used them (im not an electronic knowledgeable) if this is a good place to get them what is there site address?

thanks scott

Scott,
the Allegros are still valid chips for the Grinch and possibly the best because they can handle a lower parallel port voltage than the MBI.

Others that work are
MBI5027 IC's from King Electronics.
STP16CP05B1R available over the counter in Aus.

Good to see you back Scott! Howd your display go?

well i made the switch to LOR for my music part of the show 48 channels (the help I so desperately need with the computer end of things is now local and available for just a swap of my building abilities)

what im now doing is getting back into DIY for simple chasing seq (since it is so much less expensive than LOR) for a few ideas i have. And they will just be running in a continous loop.

if you want more details PM me and i will talk you ear off, dont want to clutter up teh forms.
