Summary: Some links to sites with little circuits to build a discolightmachine.Link: Parallel port controlled lights
Summary: Small box to controll your lights or other machines with the parallel port of your computer. Pay attention to the part of the circuit on the right. A pull down and an opto-isolator.
Link: Disco Litez - Software for controlling your lights
Summary: Software tool (winamp & java) to control your lights via a parallel port.
Link: Velleman - Firm for electonics
Summary: Needed pieces:
- on-off-on switch (selecting the source)
- LED push switch (on-off)
- LED that shows the state of the light

Link: Electronic Projects Online - Disco VU Lights
Summary: Do-it-yourself page for making a light effect unit. With schematics.
Link: 4 channel lightmachine
Summary: Easy circuit with 4 lights at 220V. The lights are switched on/off at the speed of the music.
Link: 6 Channel Auto Reverse Sequential disco Running Lights
Summary: Site with a circuit in which the lights will sequentialy light up.
Mark that the triacs are fired by bipolar transistors and that the adjustment circuit operates at only 5V. This is very interesting because of the safety.
