intensely-bright smart LED for prototyping that comes as a package of
two components, a control module (MaxM Master) and a daughter board
with three ultrabright LEDs (MaxM Blaster).
MaxM Master runs our unique firmware that creates virtually any RGB
color, fades smoothly between two colors, and blinks in virtually any
pattern. Like its smaller sibling, it requires almost no knowledge of
electronics. Its powerful 1 amp MOSFET transistors can control the
industry's most power-hungry LEDs, while its 12 volt power supply lets
it be run from a wide variety of power sources, making it perfect for
prototyping automotive applications and low-voltage track lighting
systems.
MaxM Blaster's trio of LEDs are 50 times as bright as a standard
BlinkM and more than 1000 times as bright as a standard LED. They're
so amazingly bright they kind of freak us out (and should absolutely
not be looked at directly, under any circumstances!).
Finally, it includes four analog input lines, which means that its
behavior can be changed without requiring an external controller. We
have expanded the BlinkM control language to make this powerful
capability available without affecting backward compatibility. All
existing BlinkM software should run on the MaxM without requiring any
changes."
