For the past few days, I have been trying to develope an elecTRONics circuit for
the TRON DISC that can be installed by the user, purchased as a kind of ID-KIT.
The ID-KIT will most likely include a "how to" video on how I would modify the
DISC to install the elecTRONics.
The user would of course do all the modifications to the inside of their disc and layout & solder up all the wiring to the 72 - 5mm LEDs to the LED drivers and control IC's.
The "LED circuit" uses multiplexing tech. with a fair amount of wiring......
Much like I have seen done elsewhere, on other websights, using microproccessers.
So far, I have not seen a very good "breadboarded circuit" of any of these other circuits, but they seem to be makeing an effort in that direction.
I have produced a video of a circuit design that is in the works on my bench:
It shows a very nice "16 LED count-up" feature and then by pushing the single button
activation switch, moves into the "Blade Firing Up", with a slight pause and then starts into the "Scan (Attack) Mode". It will run in this mode until you press the button again and then will deactivate the blade back in to the disc (in the opposite direction).
This puts you back the programmed mode ready for DE-REZ....
Can't really give out to many details on the circuit design and components since I am looking to produce a kit.
Here is the video so far.
P.S. It shows 56 LEDs for the blade and 16 for the center C ring. You'll get the idea
of how well it functions from the video:

[EDIT]
Another point:
If the builder wants to try and modify there own dics to keep the sound, it would be up to them....
Since I am not a fan of sound in Props, I prefer to concentrate more on the quality of the finished product and what makes it look and function more like a prop and less like the toy.
That's just me however. Anyone who modifies a disc can do what they wish.
Also, the builder can use the original switch location with a N.O. switch or
activate it a different way.
When I build another disc (using my second circuit design), I will check several options for activation. There will of course be an actual on/off power switch. The power source is another concideration.
My new circuit is currently running on 9v (that may change).
Another thing to concider is that a microcontroller, by itself is mostly used as "the brains" of the circuit and should not be used as the LED driver as well.
The fact that there are multplexing LED drivers between the "brains" and the LEDs themselves, is good, but with all the LEDs running at the same time using multiplex technique, they will not be as bright as they could be.
That is why, I will be looking to "help" the multiplex driver outputs by amplifying (stepping up) the signal before it gets to the LEDs.
I will keep updating this post as I move forward on this
