Thanks Will. Be sure to post here when it's available. I hope you ship internationally (Australia)! – Adam, on December 04, 2008 21:38

This product rules

It's extremely well designed and very user friendly. Well done.

Thanks for the response todbot.

I'm not so worried about the power consumption; I'll have individual power sources for each MaxM group and some heavy duty cabling to handle the current draw.

In terms of the I2C bus, would a simpler approach be to simply increase the distance between the MaxM Master board and the MaxM Blaster board, while keeping the I2C cable extremely short?

i.e. if I have a 50cm cable between the Arduino and all MaxM Master boards and ten metre+ extension between the Master and Blaster boards.

Let me know your thoughts!

(Great product BTW!)

Length of I2C bus

Someone on here described their I2C bus as "long" when it was only 4 feet. I'm planning on using some MaxM LED units in a display that requires several meters of cable between the Arduino and the units. Will this work okay?

Okay, chill out Tom.

It could be a relative measure, i.e. the percentage of followers who mark as spam.
