LED Fireflies in a Jar (v1.0)
Me and my wife recently had our first child. I’ve been trying to come up with some projects I can do for the kid. Well, around this time of the year the fireflies go crazy around my house, so we came up with the idea to do led fireflies in a jar. It should be something cool for him to stare at and is easy to build.
Schematics, C source code and hex file are available here on our wiki. If you want to build one it should only take about an hour.
I’m planning on making a version 2 with some changes, stay tuned for that one.

I’m building ver 1.0 right now, looking forward to seeing your version 2.0! 🙂
I actually built 2.0 awhile back, I’ll get the pics up for that soon. It uses a clear mason jar and smd leds. Looks nice. I was actually considering a 3.0 soon, mroe about that later
Sweet! I got SMD LEDS, and 38 gauge cobber wire to hook them up with. Bring on schematics and HEX files! 😉
