A tasty piece of microcontroller

April 28th, 2008 | By: Alicia

My friend Becky made me an Arduino birthday cake this year! There was a fight over the AVR chip (dark chocolate) which involved memory loss and a cake knife. Candles became wire sticking out of the pins. Seriously awesome. Next task: to make LED candles that you have to short out instead of blow out.

    Ooh, you could throw on some electret mics and hook them up to the LEDs though transistors so you can blow out the “candles”!
