EL wire is flexible plastic cord that glows brightly when high-voltage AC is applied to it. It’s available in numerous colors (see the related products below), runs cool, and requires very little current, but can be difficult to work with because of the high-voltage requirements. The EL Sequencer can safely switch high-voltage AC on and off, allowing you to easily create animated displays or whatever else your imagination can come up with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In addition to this board, you will need an inverter (a component that generates the high-voltage AC needed by EL wire), EL wire\/tape\/panels, and a 5V FTDI BOB or cable to load your own programs. The board also has headers for XBee and NRF24L01+ radio modules for wireless projects. SparkFun carries two inverters, a 3V-input version that can drive a few feet of EL wire, and a 12V-input version capable of driving dozens of feet of EL wire. Choose the one appropriate to your power source and driving requirements. The EL Sequencer possesses zero-crossing optoisolated triacs for noise-free operation and full isolation between the AC and DC sides, and includes a 1.5A adjustable linear regulator to supply regulated DC to an external inverter (not included).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Nate has used EL wire to make amazing interactive costumes; check out his \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkfun.com\/commerce\/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=130\"\u003eHeartbeat Straitjacket\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.vimeo.com\/4754275\"\u003edemo video\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e We have fixed the silkscreen error on this board; the FTDI “black” and “green” labels have been fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATmega 328p running at 8MHz, with Arduino bootloader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight opto-isolated, zero-crossing EL control channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaders for XBee and NRF24L01+ for optional wireless control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo library needed - control is as easy as turning a LED on and off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated 1.5A linear regulator (LM317) to supply regulated DC power to external inverter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinear regulator preset to 3.3V, but can be changed via PTH resistors, or bypassed entirely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be powered by a 3.7V Lipo battery (using 3V inverter), or an external 3.3V to 16V supply (using 3V or 12V inverter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5V FTDI BOB or cable required for reprogramming, not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal EL inverter required, not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocuments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/datasheets\/Components\/EL\/SparkFun_EL_Sequencer_v23.pdf\"\u003eSchematic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/datasheets\/Components\/EL\/SparkFun_EL_Sequencer_v23.zip\"\u003eEagle files\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/datasheets\/Components\/EL\/EL_Escudo_Dos\/MOC3063.pdf\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e (MOC3063S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/datasheets\/Components\/EL\/EL_Escudo_Dos\/Z0103MN.pdf\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e (Z0103MN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/datasheets\/Components\/EL\/EL_Escudo_Dos\/LM317.pdf\"\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/a\u003e (LM317)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.sparkfun.com\/tutorials\/el-sequencerescudo-dos-hookup-guide\"\u003eHookup Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalmisery.com\/projects\/halloween\/el-ladder\/\"\u003eJacob’s Ladder Project\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/sparkfun\/EL_Sequencer\/tree\/V_2.3\"\u003eGitHub\u003c\/a\u003e (Design Files, Library, \u0026amp; Example Code)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"sparkfun-10","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19062493445,"sku":"12781:COM-12781:spark","price":7170.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/1611\/products\/12781-01a.jpg?v=1575978742","url":"https:\/\/www.tanotis.com\/products\/genuine-sparkfun-sparkfun-el-sequencer","provider":"Tanotis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
