Summary of Contents for Eastern Voltage Research Advanced Flame 1.0

  • Page 1 Advanced Flame 1.0 Kit − 1 − November 2013, Rev 1 http://www.EasternVoltageResearch.com Advanced Flame 1.0...
  • Page 2 Advanced Flame 1.0 Kit Introduction to the Advanced Flame 1.0 Kit Thank you for purchasing the Advanced Flame 1.0 Kit. This kit is a microprocessor controlled high power LED candle that offers several modes of operation including a variety of brightness levels, modulation levels, and effects. Whether you are looking to...
  • Page 3: Circuit Description

    Please read this manual in its entirety before building, testing, or operating your kit! Circuit Description The Advanced Flame 1.0 utilizes a PIC12F683 microcontroller, U2, which produces a randomized output pulse width modulation (PWM) signal which is used to drive a high current MOSFET transistor, Q1, to power a CREE Piranha series LED, D1.
  • Page 4: Kit Building Tips

    Advanced Flame 1.0 Kit A pushbutton allows the user to cycle through the various operational modes and brightness levels. The presently selected mode is stored in non-volatile EEPROM (memory) location on the PIC12F683 so that if power is removed, the mode of operation is remembered the next time power is applied.
  • Page 5 Advanced Flame 1.0 Kit Surface Mount (SMT) Component Soldering Instructions One of the first things you’ll notice with your electronics kit is that many of the included components are surface mount components. These components do not have conventional leads, as is the case with thru-hole components, and instead solder directly to pads located either on the top or bottom of the PCB board.
  • Page 6 Advanced Flame 1.0 Kit At first, surface mount soldering may seem a bit difficult, but its actually much easier than thru-hole soldering once you get the hang of it. Good luck and take your time! − 6 − November 2013, Rev 1 http://www.EasternVoltageResearch.com...

    VIN on the PCB while the black wire connects to the terminal pad labeled GND. Congratulations! You have just completed your Advanced Flame 1.0 kit. Please take a few moments to look over the board and ensure that all the components are installed properly with the correct orientation.
  • Page 11: Selecting Modes

    Congratulations! Your Digital Flame 1.0 is now completed and operational. Selecting Modes Pressing the pushbutton once and releasing will advanced the Advanced Flame 1.0 to the next mode of operation. One mode is the OFF state. To turn OFF the Advanced Flame 1.0, either cycle the modes until the OFF mode is selected or remove the 9V battery or...
