When my little girl was born I wanted to make her a special night light for in her room. I made her a ceiling light with twinkling stars. It is made up of a piece of custom wood with 100 LEDs mounted in it. An AVR AT90S8538 micro controller runs a bascom program that produces […]

Unless you’ve been living under a digital rock for the last few years, or just simply aren’t interested in flashing lights, you’ll already know about the awesomeness that is the BlinkM from ThingM. It’s a very small PCB featuring a high power LED that responds very easily and cleanly to commands you give it. Devices like BlinkM’s are often referred to as LED

While I was finalizing e-snowflake project, I imagined that single RGB 5050 LED would create nice rainbow effect if placed inside a ball like ping-pong. You can find plenty of such projects on the net, this one was heading to embed everything within ping-pong, battery included. The design challenge was to create PCB small enough to fit into ping-pong, design electronic on/off

The Swiss AVR Knife bundles a number of AVR programming projects together in a single convenient Altoids Gum Tin. Because of the flexibility afforded by microcontroller programming, it also provides a starting point for any number of projects based on LEDs and sound output. The SAK can contain as many programs as the 8K of memory permits and
