I’ve always seen these in a grid configuration. It’s really cool to watch them as a strip.

Great, now I want to make some fireflies :)

good, that’s true Cybernetics like defined by Norbert Wiener
i’ll start mine right now,
but i will add some audio output on each, like a tone with a frequency dependent on the time error.
I think also at uploading the firmware with ir through the phototransistor.

Cool. Now put them on wheels and give them some sort of behaviours that respond to light. :) I want to try that at least.

A shutdown command should be programmed in incase they become sentient. :)

Four billion years of evolution and this is what life on Earth achieved. Sigh…

Well; back to the round-the-clock coverage of the death of Michael Jackson.

david, in hopes that your kidding i quote the words of mj from that one southpark episode… “nooooo, thats ignorant. your being ignorant”

…pottery, shoelaces, food network!
humans have achieved so much!
not to mention were currently working on global climate destabilization (which, i might add, we are way ahead of schedule on)

btw, 4 billion years to become a smart-ass is a long time. you shoulda got in the “created by god” line… you coulda been mockin other peoples hard work and progress in less than a week ;p

much love

and about these fireflies, is there anyway to make stoplights sync up this effectively. i mean, as soon as the one im at turns green, the light a block in front of me turns red… damn the government.

How far apart can the modules be and still synchronize? I’d love to cover a ceiling with these, but $10 per square inch is a bit much. $2 per square foot is more like it.
