Fancy LEDS - The idea of this project came from my youngest son. He was dreaming of a small tool able to write symbols or pictures on a screen. As a graphic LCD (even bought at Crownhill :)) was too expensive (or too easy??) , the solution adopted was to pilot a matrix of Leds. This way,

Finely Tune the Hue Of Blue-Light Sources - 03/17/11 EDN-Design Ideas Get 32 grades of hues between royal-blue and cyan. When coach cars of long-range trains comprised compartments for six to eight passengers, the passengers could choose either “white” or deepblue light. The blue light helped passengers sleep, even when they were not in full darkness. The circuit in Figure 1 lets you set a hue of blue light that can match your favorite blue color. Although you can accomplish this task with another circuit (Reference 1) , this circuit provIdeas a finer adjustment of color and uses a narrower range from cyan to royal blue. The light is a mixture from two power LEDs, both from Avago Technologies. Design by Marián Štofka, Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava, Slovakia

Flameless LED Candle Power Boost - Most flameless candles are now quite simple circuits. They consist of nothing more than a power switch, a battery and a special flickering LED. The special LED might work fine for a candle but it is not bright enough for the touch. To boost the power of this flickering device, you can remove that LED from a flameless candle and insert into the circuit shown below. This circuit extracts the flickering signal from the special LED and uses the signal to drive 5 super bright yellow LEDs at a peak current of 20ma each. . . .

Flicker Lamp - Having bought a cute little ‘paraffin lamp’ from a cut price shop, I decided to make it a little more interesting. Its battery powered of course but its continuous shine and simple on / off ‘wick control’ did not make for anything like a close simulation of the real thing. So, I replaced the on / off control with a variable potentiometer and I added flicker! __ Contact: Karen's Microprocessor Projects
