There's alot of good online tutorials for the Atmel AVR's and chances are you have see a few of those by now. I recently got into microcontrollers and didn't know jack about it. I wanted to have some ear...

(note: the firefly behavior in this video has been greatly sped up in order to be easier to represent in a short film. The default behavior has significantly mor...
