Hi, Here is a really cool project I found. cre.ations.net/creation/44It's a time fountain. Drops of water from the top can be slowed down and stopped and can even go back up. Basicly it is using a strobe effect. There is a video on the site. A must watch. I'm waiting for the parts now to build one. Bones |

Hey Bones,
How have you gone making your time fountain? I saw on Nate's website that you bought a UV strip light. How has that worked out? I'm still waiting on my UV LEDs to arrive. I ended up getting 100 for $30. Thats about the same price as getting 10 from Jaycar!

Hi emzed,
Yeh they are at the post office, So I'll get them tomorrow.
Thanks for the offer.
They lied to me about sending them. Typical when dealing with Hong Kong. YEs Yes Yes, I already send to you. NOT.
I'll do the 555 timer first and then the uP for the backwards time.
Should work out good.

Hi,
Got them today. Looks like they got dumped from ebay.
They Violated the Terms of Service. Suckers. I didn't even get to comment on them.
I got the pump from Bunnings. $19.95. It has a 12V 1Amp transformer with a pump and light. Disconnect the light and I can power my circuit too.
I'm using a garden dripper for the drops. Bunnings too.
Let you know how it goes.
Bones
