Now let's make some light! We do this by simply turning the corresponding pins on or off. However, there's a catch: the LEDs don't have a current limiting resistor, so the current will only be limited by the internal resistance of the batteries. Not good. Furthermore, since the red LED has a lower forward voltage than the green and blue one, it will draw more current, and be a lot brighter than the other ones. It also compensates for the difference in current draw: the current duty cycle for the red LED is lower than the green and blue one.
We can now control the brightness of each of the LEDs by updating a variable. In the main loop, we'll do just that. I made some patterns which change the brightness of the LEDs.
It should be quite easy to make some more for yourself, you can use my code as an example. I've made more than 10 different patterns, and they just keep on looping. One loop takes around 5 minutes, so it won't get boring too quickly ;. With the code written, we can program the device! But wait, where should we connect the programmer? Let's take a look at the back of the PCB.
Apart from the batteries, there are only some holes. It will allow us to program the microcontroller while it is in the circuit hence the name. Since the 6 pins in a row are not a really standard connection, I used simple jumper wires to connect the two. You can check the pin-out in the picture. Depending on your programmer, you have 2 options for powering the device while programming.
Either power it with 3. Certainly don't do both! Now that we've connected the programmer and supplied power, we can finally program the damn thing! We'll use Atmel Studio to make it rise from the ashes! Open Atmel Studio and open the project. Go to the Fuses tab and copy the settings shown in the picture.
Press Program Go to the Memories tab and press Program. Finally, we can reuse this awesome wristband and shine at parties! I hope you'll revive yours, and relive the memories of the concert along with it.
Feel free to check out my other instructables here :. Hey guys, Thank you for this information so I have another question. More by the author:. Let's get started! Before we can revive the bracelet, we should know what makes it tick.
Let's take it apart! Now that we have the power, let's find out how we can make some light! W hen they played Yellow , they went yellow. These are synched to a radio transmitter, allowing them to be manipulated in time with the music, creating vast rivers of coloured light , like the slush-ballad mid-set lighter experience for the age of the e-cig.
Their inventor, Jason Regler, claims to have had the idea while watching Coldplay perform their mid-set slush-ballad Fix You. Since the group began adopting the technology during their Mylo Xyloto tour in , Regler has grown the initial idea into a range of offerings to suit various occasions. Xylobands now also offer lanyards and beach balls filled with LEDs.
In , Chris Martin was complaining that the bands cost too much. Which is partly why Baltimore electronica godhead Dan Deacon has invested in an app , which he encourages fans to download before his shows.
