5. e final product will need to be serviced cleaning etc or the LED installation is complicated The connectors are fairly robust for their size but care must still be taken as they are quite small Bare LED connections can be left empty for soldering later LEDs and wires can still be ordered as separate pieces This option saves connector cost while still allowing for a complicated LED installation With this option the LEDs with wire leads can be installed in the final product and the electrical connection to the LIA made in place This requires some soldering know how and a fine tip soldering iron Multi board Systems Multi board systems 2 10 can be created upon request To synchronize multiple boards communication wires are run between each LIA There is a master LIA and one or more slaves The master acts identically to a stand alone LIA in every way In a multi board system the master sets the color and mode of all connected LIA s but each chooses pattern independently They work together while maintaining individuality The network connections have the same ordering options as the LEDs solder connector bare Special Software All LIA software was developed in house with an emphasis for customization Special modes patterns sequences colors and behaviors are all possible at minimal cost Final Assembly Instructions LED Connections In the picture to the right is one LED output It consi

7. sts of one common connection and three color outputs All LED outputs are pinned the same way regardless of orientation Eight outputs are available any can be left unused Care must be given to connect the LED s properly Every 4 pin RGB LED has an electrical connection for each color and a common anode or cathode The LIA software includes a hardware configuration routine to program the LED polarity color connections and output utilization Different types of RGB LED s can be used on each output the only requirement is that all LED s must be the same polarity type common The common connection goes to the common pin of the LED and the 3 color connections can be made in any configuration BUT all need to be connected the same way All red light elements must be connected to the same position across all LED outputs etc Wires can be any length but less than 10 feet is best Each LED consumes mere milliamps of current so the wires can be incredibly small A 40 gauge wire smallest in the American wire gauge system can carry about three times the required current So any length or size of wire is acceptable Hardware Configuration Routine LIA 1 v1 08 can easily be configured for LED polarity color connections and output utilization If an LED output has no LED it can be disabled in this routine Disabling an LED output turns off the output and excludes it in pattern generation Accurate output configuration is
