[quote][i]Originally posted by Dom[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by James[/i] Also have you considered IP infringement with these guys? http://www.qlocktwo.com/ [/quote] There's a handful of people selling these and kits, so you couldn't patent it on design alone. As Ed said, it would have to be something unique to his model/version. Only issue i can see is the use of the PCB design, as from what i remember it's from the Aussie bloke that sells units/kits. But no doubt Ed is already sorted if he's spoken to someone about it. Ed - Ultrasonic or PIR sensor would be a good shout although it might be worth shutting down circuitry (Atmega/drivers + LEDs) rather than just using it control brightness to conserve power. The Atmega has built in power saving modes that would be ideal (power usage drops to around 400uA from what i remember), obviously just keep power on the RTC. Looks good though :thumbs: [/quote]
