I uploaded a low quality video taken with my cell phone. The first 3 minutes is a silent tour of the 30+ built in effects. At the 3 minute mark, you’ll see some of the effects and transitions I’m building into my script download app.
Update: I uploaded the app I wrote this weekend to download animations from a url to run on the lights. Details here.

The Triklits website has a ton of technical info, including the schematic for the control box.

You know, I wonder if these are similar to the technology used in U2’s “beaded curtains” from the Vertigo tour. You should check those out, they are like huge curtains of balls with LED’s in them, used to make words and pictures. They may be similar…
