Jar of Fireflies
- iamwil 12y agoI actually made this! The hardest thing was to hand-solder the wires onto the SMT LED.

- grandalf 12y agoThis is very cool. I imagine a firefly might consider it to be in the uncanny valley of cute but unconvincing firefly simulations. It's fascinating to see the successful use of micro-controllers to create lush, organic experiences. A teledildonics boom has been predicted for years, but this kind of demo makes me think that it's going to happen any day.
- mildweed 12y agoI tried doing this exact project for table decorations for my wedding reception. As it turns out, this project fell to the bottom of the to-do list and never got completed. Anybody need some parts??
- gohrt 12y agoInstead of surface mounting, let the LEDs dangle, and introduce a bit of current from air flow or a mineral oil fill.
