[Lab] christmas light pcb

[Nigel Vezeau]

Might be the same chipset as these ones from Adafruit:

I've used them before and they are quite straightforward to run from an Arduino using the libraries provided.  I'd be interested to hear if you have any luck getting them going.

Cheers,

Nigel

>I picked up a Christmas light at walmart and trying to find info about it. What interested me is that for $8 I got 15 RGB LEDs, each with it's own little pcb and it seems like they can be controlled individually! Of course it's not as simple as reading the specs because I haven't found any (did google the numbers found) and the IC is a black blob so no help there.
>I opened up the first and last one to take some pictures. The first one has 5V feed on the upper row marked "DI", the bottom row marked "DO" has 3 wires going to next light where it comes in on the "DI" row, out on a "DO" and my guess is that it goes on like that to the end.
>I took some pictures of it that can be seen at http://flickr.com/gp/henahadu/73436S/ 
>My question is - anyone seen anything like it ? Any clue on where/how I can find more info? Somewhere else to ask ?
