fookin' gorgeous. is the minipov driving the motor, too? and how do you mount the fiber optics to the leds?

[rrmutt]

Thank you! Drive electronics is a little more involved; see link in description for more information.

To attach the light pipes, I just drilled small holes in the tops of the LEDs and inserted the light pipes. Glue would help optically couple them but right now they are held in by friction.

Well, it fades exponentially, so depends where you want to make the cutoff. In perfect darkness you can still see a trace 45 seconds to a minute later, which is actually kind of a long time

you dont need a nerd to make a toilet, just a dirt hole.

[azipour]

Not everything is sarcasm my friend.

Whoa Scout, calm down, I meant it as a compliment.... gracious my. What language..... did you learn vocabulary in college darling? Calm down, seriously, I was being complimentary about this odd thing and the sexy freak ball who decided to make it, who ever he or she is...... Nerd, to me, has never been an insult.

[Scoutmasta]
