    There's an idea, outsource your manufacturing to India.

    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 them

    Forget that unstylish aluminium foil hat.

    Here's a much more friendly material.

    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.

    At the exhibition of work.
