Or just load the at tiny hex to the atmega?<br /><br />How did you connect your input switch? And which pin on the mega?<br /><br />How did you measure the output where you could see the Morse code but average voltage was 1.75? Oscilloscope?<br /><br />-petePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432659350949374712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634572204034071649.post-90142428977530327842013-12-18T06:38:09.710-05:002013-12-18T06:38:09.710-05:00Hi!

Switched your original switch on, and made an SOS morse code with my switch. After that I connect a led to it, but it constantly lighted at 1.75V. I measured the output and saw a really interesting output. There was my SOS signal, but the output was 4.99V-5V. Is there something to modify in the code to work with my atmega? Or how can I get more different voltages?<br />Thank you for your help!<br /><br />AndrewAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776089279578105808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634572204034071649.post-31656265625163718962013-01-07T00:02:10.339-05:002013-01-07T00:02:10.339-05:00Great project - lots to learn from this, as I am a...Great project - lots to learn from this, as I am a novice to avr programming. <br /><br />One request: Please increase the width of your web page - it's long and narrow, and it makes the code display difficult to comprehend. <br /><br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634572204034071649.post-17066194768140464122012-08-25T12:23:09.296-04:002012-08-25T12:23:09.296-04:00I am looking at the guts of a cheap fan which used...I am looking at the guts of a cheap fan which used persistence of vision to show the name of a resort in L.E.D.s on the soft vinyl blades. As the blade rotates, a spring makes contact with a copper pad, with an interrupter etched in the pad to give a clock pulse. The circuit uses a 24c02 EEPROM and a 4 pin circuit to allow programming of any phrase on the blade. <br />I found your candle after googling "EEPROM circuits".<br />I'm just learning this stuff. Thanks for the build info. I'll be in the basement sniffing solder fumes and following you. <br />Deb and Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635130809683624587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634572204034071649.post-59053664832249443292012-02-07T16:05:20.788-05:002012-02-07T16:05:20.788-05:00This IS pretty cool!

Pretty much everyone else just tries to come up with pseudo-randomness that imitates the actual handle and your project is the first I've ever seen that records the real thing. <br /><br />As I was reading the project notes, you got me thinking that there's also a spatial aspect to a real candle effect - the flame not only changes brightness but also dances around quite a bit and so the shadows are moving around and supplementing the brightness changes rather nicely. I've started thinking about the best way to record brightness levels from several spots spread around the wick rather than the ambient light level. The recorded values could then be fed back to LEDs positioned in similar points around the center of the candle to re-create the spatial aspect of the flame dance. Well, just an idea at this point, really.<br />Keep up great work!<br />Cheers!ElectroNickhttp://www.electrondepot.com/electronics/noreply@blogger.com
