    I have a TFTM Barricade modded with the horn whistle lights like Jin Saotome's. But I saw this version on youtube.

    YouTube - Custom Barricade with LEDs

    any ideas as to what he used for the chip? I want multiple modes for my barricade!!

    I don't know what chip that is, but I am using a CMOS 4060 chip for mine.

    No "modes" but I will be driving 4 lights, 1 red and 1 blue strobing about the "pursuit speed" in the light bar, and 2 white ones in the headlights strobing at the slower "cruising" (I think that's what he called it) mode.


    I am having a heck of a time trying to figger out how to upload video (I still have my motorized Springer video update to upload), but when I do I'll be happy to post.

    Back on topic, this guy did a great job if he put the rig together. I like it!:thumbs2:

    keep your video down to 10min max. then sign up on youtube and upload it with their uploader.

    Thanks! I think the main issue was my antique computer had no firewire card, so I'll be getting that taken care of!:thumbs2:

    Hah! My digital camera is older than my pc! It will do video, but with no sound, so it makes video reviews and updates impractical. My video camera is digital though, with firewire out, so I just need to get the pc card.
