Dear Subscriber:
If you want to make your own fun over the holidays look at the LED project at the bottom of this newsletter.
My wife and I recently had the chance to go back to our Alma Mater for a football game (after a 25 year absence). We really enjoyed the crowd, the excitement and the band. We did not like the product on the field eventhough the Illini put on a good fight in the first half.
Check out our invitation video to an IPC advanced reworks topic seminar we will be teaching at i San Diego......

This micro-readerboard Christmas tree ornament displays a short message, one letter at a time, on a bright single-character alphanumeric LED display. In the animation here, the ornament is displaying the word "ornament."
Each ornament can be pre-programmed with a list of 36 different short phrases. Every time that an ornament is switched off and back on, it picks a new message from its memory to repeat.
Get information on how to build these ornaments here.

Definition/s:
