12 hot watts; senor senior; inGrid and IVy
For this year's superbowl party, Cyrus and I decided that we should celebrate the happenings of last week by welcoming our guests with a hoax device. Twelve-and-some watts of pure LED brightness later, the image to the right was born. It's made of 192 LEDs, each of which are conducting about 30mA and dropping about 2.1V, and it is bright as all fuck. You can see it from the entrance to our cul-de-sac.
Also, some good news today: I was promoted to Senior Design Engineer! I guess that means I'm getting old, or something. It also means that I beat my target, Senior Designer by 26, by almost 8 months. Woot.
In yet other news, I'm running a group buy on the inGrid VFD clock for the NEONIXIE Yahoo! group. If you're interested, send me an email (hopefully with "inGrid" or "IV-18" in the subject) in the next couple days and I'll get a board for you, too. Soon to come, "IVy," the through-hole version (inGrid is SMT) based on an Atmel AVR processor and possessed of a crystal timebase and battery backup. This one will be available as a full kit (including case) from Adafruit Industries, Limor's site of kit hotness. Watch here for details.
