Here’s an interesting project by Steve of Tangent Audio the AZIZ project, a microcontroller-based LED microscope illuminator:
AZIZ is an LED microscope illuminator that I designed and built from scratch. It is designed around a Texas Instruments TLC59116 constant-current PWM LED driver chip, and an Atmel ATTiny1634 8-bit microcontroller.
Check out the video after the break.
lol. Awesome name.
I got this instead. I figured PWM dimming was all I would need.
Much better, thank you AZIZ!
I like the name. Yeah!
Next version needs a microphone and speech recognition. You should be able to yell AZIZ LIGHT for it to turn on.
