This is a fun holiday project! It's a Christmas card that lights up LEDs when you plug its USB cable into and USB port on a computer that's turned on. Here's the project page: http://hackaweek.com/hacks/?p=456

  • coool!!!!!!!!!

    

  • yeahh!! Awesome project.

  • Nice Dino, i like your videos.

  • awesome man! you do some really cool hacks. can't believe you don't have more subs

  • That's really cool :-)

  • Be careful not to solder for too long on the LEDs. Those high bright LEDs cant stand too much heat. Just a few seconds will do.

  • Will a sheet of black paper prevent the light from going beyond the cover and be seen?

    I'm thinking of building one with a micro (and without the USB cable): it could show a binary countdown with 6 LEDs until it's Christmas (or New Year Eve) and *then* light up when you open it.

    I wish I had the idea earlier :)

  • Nicely done, I'll have to build one of these this week.

  • Great project Dino! I love how the card is completely blank until you plug it in. Sweet! Keepin' it classy ;-) Keep hackin'!
