Okay ladies and gents, here's a Chasing Light project using a single Shift Register (74HC595) and a TI Launchpad. (I'm currently following a line of research using the Shift Registers, but there is an easier way to do this with just a Launchpad alone.) It can be easily adapted for many uses. Examples include, but not limited to:

The lightbar project work continues! All the proper ohm value SMD resistors *finally* arrived in the mail, and a few short evening work sessions later, the resistors are in place, dud LED light modules replaced and leads carefully soldered in... we have an operational Lightbar!

Well, the last lightbar was a technical success that met with an unfortunate fate when it shifted inside it's resin cast. Really, it is a shame because I was very happy with it. But with every failure comes knowledge and lessons learned, so I am moving on without too much angst.

A few details were still missing - so I added some details on my first module of the modular switching layout "Industry Ave":

The cold storage got some cooling units on its roof:

The tire dealer got some tire stacks and heaps:

Can't claim these colors are "dead ringers" an exact match but they should get you pretty close.

to all

this is a short video on the progress i made this weekend....the PEAVINE is underway. now it's over to Lowes to pick up some material for the sub roadbed & back drop. i had a slight advantage because i recycled my previous frame work. all the work was done by me solo..the only help i had was 5 clamps. i don't think my hand appreciated all the work because it hurts like hell. until next time....bnsf6951 out
