Will this blaster also control the Neopixel Jewel? I'm want to use them in my R2D2's Holo Projectors. They have a very small footprint and it will be great to have them change colors with his mood.

Any idea when they will be available to purchase? I have 3 Jewels to connect. I just got back from Droidcon4 and people were amazed at the speed of my dome servos. Apparently the EZB is much faster than their traditional setups. They were all gathering around my iPhone watching my "freak out wave" script for my 10 dome panels. Thanks DJ!

The Freak Out Wave.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-VcY6Z_IaY

Hi Doug! Pretty sure it will work - all neo pixels should use the same protocol.

The first article production samples should be in our hands in 3 weeks or so right off the press. On the website a few weeks after that

Wow, that was wild. It freaked me out. Would you mind posting your code for that? Just wondering what type of motor you've using to open and close the doors. Servos? Are they directly connected to the EZB or do you a servo control board or other control device?

Awesome! Thank you DJ.

Dave, I uploaded the code to the EZ cloud. Look for 'R2 Dome Panel Controls' if this link doesn't work.

I'm using Hitech HS-53s plugged directly into he EZB. Super simple and very fast.

Hope this helps!

Cant' wait for the controller!

Ah, nice. Your using the Auto Position control for the freakout. Did you have to play with the delay and steps to get the wave right?

I increased the steps but left the delay alone. I also left the speed at -1 for the fastest travel. Beginner's luck, I guess. lol

That was really cool.

-1 means "use last speed specified"

so if you use -1 everywhere, unless the speed will actually be 0 because -1 means don't change the speed.
