LED Lighting Effects - The original yoyo was equiped with 2 LEDs that lit up whend evice was spinning. I decided to add a micro to give it some extra pazazz. The trick here is to make unit work without a power switch. The mercury switch is positioned so that it supplies power when unit is spinning.

LED Lighting For Dual-Filament Lamps - Before we describe how it’s done, note that we recommend that the result be checked as having sufficient brightness for a stop & tail-light application. That’s because the light output may be inadequate, depending on the tail-light lens and reflector assembly – so use any modified lamps with discretion! As shown, an additional diode (D1) […]

LED LoA - D - The board supports driving two separate tri-color LEDs. More can be setup inline if desired. Currently the software only uses the second LED and its color represents the CPU load of the system in real-time. Blue for idle and gradients light blue, green, yellow, orange, and finally red indicating heavy CPU utilization. If the system fails to respond, the LED begins flashing RED to indicate a lack of communication from the software. This lets you easily identify a crashed machine in a rack for example.
LED Modulations (2 versions) - Common Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) require a DC forward bias current of 10 to 20 mA for proper operation. Typically the maximum DC current is 30 to 50 mA. The color of light (or wavelength λ) emitted from an LED depends on the semiconductor material used to fabricate the LED and this in turn determines the LED forward voltage at the operating current. __ Designed by M. Gallant
LED Mood Light - This circuit makes a nice lamp that consumes little power, runs cool, and has an incredibly long lifetime. The lamp puts out a warm yellow shade of light, the color may be adjusted by changing the number of red or green LED strings. __ Designed by Forrest Cook

LED Musicolour: Light Up Your Music, Pt.1 - Now you can have a kaleidoscope of colour which continually changes in time to music. This consists of 16 strings of LEDs which are individually controlled by 16 frequency bands. Louder signals in each of those bands means that the respective LED string will be brighter. Use it for a Christmas light show, a disco or just for fun when playing music.__ SiliconChip

LED Noughts & Crosses - Here’s a twist to the age-old game of noughts and crosses. Instead of pen and paper, it uses nine 10mm tri-colour LEDs arranged in a 3 x 3 grid. One player has nine red buttons while the other player has nine green, set out in identical grids. The aim, of course, is to make three LEDs in a row glow the same colour – red or green! Pushing a red button causes the LED in the equivalent position on the grid to glow red in colour. Likewise, pushing a green button lights the equivalent green LED.

LED or Incadescent 12 Volt Lamp Fader - This circuit is similar to the "Fading Red Eyes" circuit (in the LED section) used to fade a pair of red LEDs. In this version, the lamps are faded by varying the duty cycle so that higher power incandescent lamps can be used without much power loss. The switching waveform is generated by comparing two linear ramps __ Designed by Bill Bowden

LED Oscilloscope - George Katz of Balgowlah Boys high in Sydney presented a solid state oscilloscope. He says "probably the best advantage is its very small size and the fact that it can run off the power supply of the circuit being tested. Although it has a low frequency range, it can still be used for most circuits. Its poor resolution will still allow for most waveforms to be visualized. ".

LED Photo Sensor - Here's a circuit that takes advantage of the photo-voltaic voltage of an ordinary LED. The LED voltage is buffered by a junction FET transistor and then applied to the inverting input of an op-amp with a gain of about 20. This produces a change of about 5 volts at the output from darkness to bright light. The 100K potentiometer can be set so that the output is around 7 volts in darkness and falls to about 2 volts in bright light __ Designed by Bill Bowden
