I showed you where to get the LED tapes and (wink wink) Xmas tree lights can come with both rheostats and voltage-controlled oscillators to save you building themOriginally posted by zeitghost"My" next project involves conductive thread and materials (like the hat thing above).
Dunno how I get involved in this stuff, but one thing is certain, I ain't doing any more Xmas lights.

The pressure of soldering 104 surface mount leds onto veroboard, stringing them together, producing a dozen speed controller boards for some little dc motors, and designing & making a PIC microcontroller board to make some of the leds fade up & down took a bit of time.
I felt rather as if I was working in a Chinese Xmas lights factory for a while.
And, at the end of it, I couldn't understand the software I wrote about 2 years ago that did the fade up/down business.
I hate it when that happens.
Hope the flickery result doesn't cause too many epileptic fits.
They may be dropping like flies on Saturday afternoon then.
