You're awesome, and it's been recognized, I'm *Elune-555, and I'm part of a project over at *Deviant-Underground to promote underappreciated artists, and share their art with our watchers, each day three pieces are featured in the group journal. From there deviants are asked to participate by posting the featured thumbs in their own journals to promote both the artists and the project. Then on each Saturday the 5 favorite deviations from that week are posted again in a weekly journal entry and those deviations are put into a poll. By the next week, the deviation with the most votes is submitted to the clubs gallery with comments disabled and a link to the original. So eventually, when the project gets bigger, then that should have a huge effect on the featured deviations comments and favorites.
Anyway, today your piece was featured in todays journal entry.
Enjoy the little bit of attention.
Ways you can help out...
I don’t want it to run a static pattern where you could predict what would be next. It would be fun to have it scroll through all the possibilities slowly over the course of 8 days.

The circuit I have been thinking about uses a parallax BS2 microcontroller chip.

I would use two of the pins for audio input, one pin for a selector switch, and the rest of the pins as outputs for the LEDs. The BS2 chip can be programmed in a simple language that is a cross between Basic and Assembly. Once it is built I know I’ll spend hundreds of hours coming up with interesting programs for it to run. There is an electronically variable resister that I could use to dim the lights and slowly bring them up which would work well for this piece. However, if I’m going to take the time to build something using this circuit I want it to be an “in your face” art piece. I want the lights to flash hard and fast to loud music. I might even make it a big piece; (5’x12’
Thanks a lot ; )
When I get the time I will use them. I have a project I started years ago that still needs electronics. I stopped working on it because 1000mcd Blue LEDs were $8 each and I needed 20 of them. I now get them for $0.20 @ 5000mcd
BTW
The magnets you sent went into 6 x-mas presents this year. I'll post a pic in my scrap section.
Thanks again for those, you don’t know how much they mean to me.
