I'm Gonna Make Some LED Throwies...

in

In the next week or so I will make some LED throwies. I have ordered all the stuff needed from the internet. That's the 10mm diffused LEDs, the lithium batteries and the NdFeB Disc Magnets - from China and the UK. I also have a roll of 25mm 3M glass fibre cross-weave tape to secure all the throwie components together. I should have enough stuff to make 50 LED Throwies - however I will probably make something based on the ideas of Max Magnus see here, because I don't really want to pollute the environment with the batteries and the fact that I want to keep them. They look really cool - we had a talk from the Director of Eyebeam OpenLab, NY at the MediaShed and that's what inspired me. See some more information here.

I have also subscribed to Make Magazine and they have some really good projects to get my teeth stuck into - I just have to decide what to make! Angus wants to make an R2D2 which is in Volume 02, however I told him we had better start off with some of the simpler projects.
