Instructions

Basic game play
Rotate each pipe by clicking on it to create a continuous connection between the power source and the city. Levels 3, 4 and 5 also feature intermediate points, which must be connected before reaching the city. Intermediate points can be connected in any order. However, you do not have to create a line through the intermediate points; once an intermediate point has been reached, you can continue at any point on your connected line.



After each successful connection – whether at the intermediate points or the city – the city will automatically light up. When all points are connected and the city has been reached, the level is completed.



To pause game play, click “Pause” located in the bottom left of the playing field.

Intermediate points by level
Level 1: 0
Level 2: 0
Level 3: 1
Level 4: 2
Level 5: 3

Scoring
High scores are based on time with no time limit. Your time will be saved after each level completed; however, all 5 levels must be completed to enter the high score list. Once all 5 levels are completed, your time will be added to the leaderboard and you will have the option to play again and achieve a better time.

The high score leaderboard is reset on the 1st of every month at 00:01 (CEST). Therefore, every player then starts with a time of 0:00:00.

You can see the top scores from all months by viewing the Top 100.

As a beginners Project, I want to build DJ's LED light Bars with 16, 5 watt or more LED´s ; I opted for an Arduino + TI's TLC59116/ TLC59116F Led drivers hosting constant current sink or open drain outputs.

Ok so I experimented with normal Fets with pullup resistor on the gate and they work fine (see Image), but I want to use Profet's features like short circuit protection, ESD protection. etc.. and my question is :

1. Can I just connect them like regular fet.?
2. If not, how can I connect them to the TLC's?
3. Is there any special considerations ?

I'm a bit confused by the App Note ANP0050-A titled "Designing SMPS Adapter using ICE3BS02 to Pass Common Mode Lightning Surge Test".
The App Note refers to IEC 61000-4-5 test levels 0.5, 1, 2, 4kV or special.
Then immediately it makes the statement "If the surge voltage is 15kV, it can generate 7.5kA short-circuit current (15kV/2Ω)."
Under what circumstances would I need to face 15kV surge voltage? Certain classes of product?
The requirement I am trying to meet is +/-1kV.
Comments welcome. Show Less
