Open Source Stroboscope

Basics

• A device used for determining rpm remotely, vfx/art, or for stage lighting strobes
• Will be useful if we pursue motors, turbines etc
• Can also be a high power flashlight/spotlight when not in techmnical use
• Will also be a testbed for:
  • CEB LED Use + Cooling
  • DMX, Midi, and wireless control of standard lights
  • Battery tech

Existing Open Source Designs

Strobe Circuitry + Control Software

• The Youtube Channel "Great Scott" 's Protoboard and Mounted DC Design

Form Factor + Led Cooling

• Sun Blaster V1.0
• Sun Blaster V2.0

Minimum Viable Product

• Uses the CEB LED Module
• Uses arduino + circuit controll for power + flashes
• Dial + basic screen for rpm of target or hz of flashes depending on mode
• Size of "ye olde" lunchbox sized flashlight
• Uses either a standard OSE Battery Pack or an OTS Power Tool Battery Pack to OSE Standard Adapter
• Integrated cooling and power conversion
• Optional plug in module/adapter
• Optional DMX, MIDI, and bluetooth/wifi contoll (mainly for non-scientifc use)
• Dimming of led?

Basic Design

Light Module

• A 100w CEB LED
• A Backplate for the water cooling (or perhaps just air cooling)
• Power with quick connectors

Cooling

• Either a air heat sink, or a watercooling setup

Power

• External battery or dc in source
• Voltage conversion

Brains

• Arduino
• Optional Midi sheild
• Optional DMX sheild
• Sheild for rapid power switching via mosfet, or do this elsewhere?

Box

• May do open frame with metal bars/extrusions
• Could 3d print a case for this
