LiveWire's RING OF FIRE - New Programmable RGB LED Ring Product

[legogeek24]

Just in time for build season, the 4H LiveWire Robotics team at ISU would like to announce the RING OF FIRE!

Each ring contains 12 super bright RGB LEDs, enabling display of dozens of different colors. It accepts 9-12V DC power and has I2C communication, allowing for programmable, dynamic changes of color! 7 colors are currently programmed in: red, green, blue, yellow, purple, teal, and white.

The ring has a 7.6cm outer diameter with a 4cm diameter hole in the center. The 12 LEDs together draw .23A with a single color illuminated in each LED, .45A for two colors, and .67A for three.

We are very excited about these custom made LED rings! LiveWire’s RING OF FIRE was designed specifically for compatibility with FRC robots. With the ability to change colors dynamically, it is easy to find the optimal color for vision tracking, or even dynamically switch between them during the match. The ring is compact to fit on the Axis camera but is incredibly bright to aid in vision tracking.

The RING OF FIRE has many uses off the robot as well! Mount it on a GoPro or other video camera (it can run off a 9V battery!) for better illumination or night filming. Use for decorative or mood lighting on vehicles or around the house. With so many color options packed into such a small ring, there are so many possibilities!

Each ring costs $30 and will be shipped in approximately three weeks. To order, visit http://livewirerobotics.com/store.html.
