  • lowl can you make christmas light?^^

  • hey, i need to figure out how to do this for part of a project im doing. I would really appreciate any tips or code you could give. thanks :)

  • yep two transistors two capacitors and two sets of resistors to vary the speed. It can allso be done with a 555 timer. or simply a PIC chip. The arduino is just a overpriced ATmega168 dev board, if you wanna use one just do your self a favor and buy a ATmega dev board insted

  • can this be done with just one LED and a resistor-capacitor combo ie. charge the cap, remove the + voltage, the cap discarges into the led slowly thenthe LED fades out slowly?

  • Are you aware that, by pulsing the LED's; High current during a very short time, you are able to take the color difference out of multiple leds?

    E.g take a number of "red" led's. without pulsing, they do not give the same color/brightness.; Now pulsate them....

  • where did you buy your breadboard and circuit components?
