Read More…What is it? These PCBs are functional Scratch and Dent for a double brightness version of my Silent EL Wire inverter. I am selling these off at a reduced prices because they have some circuit hacks on them. Some have stacked components, others have a fixed minor connection issue. It drives El wire without any of the annoying buzz, it can drive 8-10nF(1 Sparkfun Wire) of EL wire. The design removes the noisy transformer that is the source of all other EL Inverter Noise. The PCB fully assembled, with the optional El and USB cables soldered to it. The PCB works best with 5V input, but can run down to 3V with reduced brightness. It is a great option for EL Art, Hats, Ties, Masks, Bike Helmets etc. The silence is great. The best ways to power this PCB is with a USB power adapter, power strip or PC.
Why did you make it?
I like making EL wire art, I got fairly frustrated with the noise level of the current inverters. I tried many of the suggested noise reduction techniques, none truly worked. I eventually realized that the inverter needed a redesign. So that is what I did, it took 3 major design iterations to get good enough for most applications. What makes it special?
The most unique feature is the silence, it does not make any noise at all.
