Mars Light

Electronics
#1

Larry wants to make mars lights of 8 leds, so I programmed him a chip. Actually, 6 of them.

Hmm. Somehow, it’s not so impressive in a photo. It’s an AVR microcontroler. It cycles through 8 leds, ramping up the brightness of one while ramping down the one before. Processor costs about $2.50 when you count shipping.

And, if we are on Mars, we can see them???

#3

More to the point, will it work on Mars? John Carter wants to know.

#4

A video of the LED’s in action might be more impressive :smiley:

#5

It’s not a video, but it shows how it looks…
