Unleash the Power - The Force Awakens

A project log for The Atmega Hearth

Lets imagine a cheap core for all your breadboard µC Projects.

I just found a Mini Kit Falcon on Amazon ... https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000KSJOSG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had to enlarge my Order for free shipping ... so i added it to my Basket.

But only like it was it was a bit Boring, so i added some blinky stuff.

Steps:

Build a AtmegaHearth, which works. I had a bit of issue with this this time --> The Crystal is needed to flash the µC. But at least i have now 3 more assembled boards...
Solder some Magnetwire to some SMD LEDs.
Add some Resistors to the AtmegaHearth (Thombstonestyle).
Check if all LEDs are working (Worked suprisingly well)
Programm the µC with a small Programm which lights the LEDs and lets the Engine LEDs flicker a bit (Kinda SW PMW)
Match and Glue the LEDs into the Falcon.

I think it looks nice. What do you think?

... could have done be better.

... the Base it a bit poor.

... the µC is a bit oversized for such a simple Task but it is still extendible

... the Falcons "Metall pieces" are a bit too translucend for the light
