Synchronizing Fireflies

Step 5 On the Prototype Board

As everything works on the breadboard you can move on to use it on a prototype board.

If you are not familiar with soldering, I recommend this instructable.

Reprogramming this thing is not very funny but possible. All controllers are socketed. You have to bend up the LDR a bit and with a bit patience you are able to pull the controller out.

There is a lot of space for improvements. As most of the time.

• Use a printed circuit board (PCB) to save some solder wire and make the soldering and packaging much easier.
• Use SMT components to reduce the size of the circuit.
• Make a board with 10 by 10 fireflies. Or 20 by 20?
• Place the LED near the LDR
