I’ve been making slow and steady progress on the latest project.     which also means I’m eating lunch in front of my computer.    

  Light Emitting Diodes from Any Circuit’s store on ebay   200x Red LED 5×2.5mm Diffused, Red BR5379K DE2584 (310725335279) $3.96   These tombstone shaped LEDs have the positive lead as short and the negative lead as long.

  the workbench hasn’t changed much……    

  Instead of documenting my work I organized my pencil holder!    

  The winter sunshine illuminates my current paper computing projects.    

  The workbench remains littered with ATtiny45’s, Arduino, LEDs, and breadboards.    

  Some extra thread as I sew circuits,  

  For the New Year I cleaned up the workbench!    

  Breadboard prototype test for Five LEDs with Atmel ATtiny45 microcontroller programmed with Arduino to slowly blink out of sequence. Blink Order is: led3, led1, led5, led4, led2     Video can be found on The eTextile Lounge youTube channel. Binary sketch size: 1,014 bytes (of a 4,096 byte maximum) Error Message – IGNORE avrdude: please define PAGEL and BS2 […]

  Sewing circuits with tools from three generations. Great grandmother’s silver sewing tray, father’s Fluke multimeter, and my innovative multidisciplinary mind.   Three cheers for the ancestors!
