CE Controller for Abstract Design to Light Sabre normally designs all electronics for Abstract's products, working with Abstract's design team who come up with the mechanical and optical designs to create the finished product. However, in some cases we design the whole product, and the CE controller was one of these. The specification was to design a controller which would be powerful yet easy to use, for control of the entire Abstract range. Drawing on our lighting experience, we designed a system which allows fingertip control of all functions.
More advanced functions are accessible through menus.
This allows first-time users to operate the controller, but also gives the more advanced user something to get their teeth into. The controller also includes a high quality automatic light show function which uses programmed patterns and random seeds to generate an amazing ever-changing show. To our knowledge nobody else has yet managed to come up with a light show system to rival Abstract's, which gives the product a competitive edge. Any issues that were found here were resolved in the few weeks before the controller went on sale. The design was then handed over to Abstract for manufacturing.
