Unless you’ve been living under a digital rock for the last few years, or just simply aren’t interested in flashing lights, you’ll already know about the awesomeness that is the BlinkM from ThingM. It’s a very small PCB featuring a high power LED that responds very easily and cleanly to commands you give it. Devices like BlinkM’s

In this Instructable, I cover modding the store-bought Deluxe Identity Disc to an upgraded version with 64 leds, controlled by an AVR MCU. The upgraded version is costume-ready and would be an excellent addition to your Tron costume – it’ll also look great on your desk/dresser/etc. My 7 year old daughter watched Tron:Legacy with me
