This is the main controller that I am using to control the lights in our display. It is called "The Grinch".
Assembling the GRINCH was fairly easy. Below is how it was done.
§ This is what I started with
§ After installing the capacitors.
After the four 24 pin IC sockets
After the 18 RJ45 jack sockets
After inserting ICs into the IC sockets.
The parts List for the GRINCH is fairly basic.
