Firmware and software for the Fiexible Digital Lighting Controller
Software downloads for the Fiexible Digital Lighting Controller.
The first zip (Flexible Digital Lighting Controller firmware) contains the firmware for both the master and slave units, including source code and test programs for both Arduino and Micromite masters.
The second zip (Flexible Digital Lighting Controller PC software) contains the 'Processing' software for driving the Controller from a personal computer.
The third, small zip (6kB) contains only the Processing source code (.pde files). If you have the Processing IDE installed, that's all you need to recreate the executables etc.
The fourth zip contains the software relating to driving addressable RGB LEDs (eg, in strips) with the Flexible Digital Lighting Controller, either directly from the master or via one or more LED slaves.

Matte/Gloss Black UB3 Lid for Micromite LCD BackPack V3 or Pico BackPack using 3.5in screen
A lid laser cut from 3mm black acrylic which replaces the lid supplied with a UB3 "Jiffy" box. Attaches with the supplied screws. One side is gloss black, the other side is matte black. You can fit it either way around.
Unlike the lids designed for the 2.8in screens, this one recesses within the Jiffy box, giving a slightly more compact result.

Micromite LCD BackPack V3 complete kit
A kit of all the non-optional parts required to build the Micromite LCD BackPack V3. See the parts list link below for details on what is included.
The PCBs, programmed microcontrollers and regulator are also available separately.
For assembly, set-up and operating instructions, see the article in the August 2019 issue.
Please note: software options which do not support the 3.5-inch touchscreen have been removed from the programming list as this was causing confusion.
