Behold Blinkylights Two!

As of yet I still haven’t got much in the way of input for the arduino so it’s limited to just flashing sequences for the time being. Although I do have some potentiometers I can hook up, adjustable fade time would be nice.One thing that has bitten me though is how much I suck at maths.

I may want to consider getting a couple of those 16-Channel PWM chips I linked to previously. Then I’d be able to really get some shine on! But next step should be actually assembling some of those power-led driver circuits.

My Arduino finally arrived the other day and here’s the first thing i’ve done with it. It’s not much, but I was just sat on the sofa in the living room with a breadboard, a handful of LEDs, resistors and a bit length of Cat-5.

Watch blinkylights!

I also made a pulsing light with PWM. Which is nice and glowy. The documentation in the Arduino Playground is really quite nice.Next step, make the High-Power LED driver and hook up some of the Luxeon stars
