This LED Flare project by Moon Taj is an interesting PIC microcontroller based LED project. You could make this yourself since the schematic and firmware has been posted for us to enjoy.

Thanks Kevin.

“Presented here is a novelty LED “flare”. It’s loosely fashioned from automotive LED safety flares but with a eye toward fun.The combination of display patterns is limited only by your imagination. Our source code provides a minimal base of patterns you can build from. This project was deigned to be low cost, have a low part count and also be easily made at home.”

The State of Electronics Documentary will be out soon. Have a look at the trailer for now.

Thanks for the tip Dave.

“After several months of researching, interviewing and filming, I’m excited to present the first public Trailer to my new Documentary “State of Electronics” – A discussion on the Electronics Industry in Australia. Even though the documentary is focused on Australian Electronics Design and Manufacture, much of it applies to all countries from around the world.”
