LED Gingerbread House "Loveshack"

$LED Gingerbread House \"Loveshack\"$

For the holidays I host an annual gingerbread house decorating event with friends. This year, we stepped it up a notch and built an LED gingerbread house "loveshack".

This is really easy to build with basic electronics knowledge. You'll need:

Arduino Duemilanove
Open Heart Kit
Battery Holder for 6AA's
Ready to build gingerbread house (I purchased mine at Trader Joes)
Your favorite candy

The Open Heart Kit has excellent instructions on how to put it together and get your heart working. It's very easy. I would suggest reading its instructions and programming away.

The gummy fish over the doorway is a nice touch! Judging by the scale of the fish to the house, i'd say you have a tiger shark up there! That is quite a catch!
