I was wondering when an AVR-Ada user was going to pipe up > with a neat project. My project isn't as cool as Warren's, but here it is anyway: http://www.flickr.com/photos/66708330@N00/5268293146/ A bunch of leds, which try to be in a tree shape, with a yellow led on top. Everything is powered by Attiny2313 and AVR-Ada. Code is available at http://hg.stronglytyped.org/attiny2313-leds/ Currently the processor always runs at full speed (1MHz, delays are done by busy looping!), but to increase the battery life, I plan to study how AVR's power saving features work. -- Tero Koskinen - http://iki.fi/tero.koskinen/
