That however creates another problem as the processor would be mainly busy with 'waiting' and also, you can only handle one pin at the time.

With software PWM basically what you do is switching a Digital pin between HIGH and LOW with the duty cycle determining the 'analogWrite'. Supposedly PB4 is also a PWM pin, but there is no implementation of the 'AnalogWrite' command. Now as said above, the Arduino has 6 PWM pins and the Attiny only 2 (PB0 and PB1). I would then still have 1 pin left to add some kind of trigger. That would even save me 2 pins, being left with needing again only 4 pins (Red Green Blue and White), which is OK for an Attiny85. Well he used 6 pins, but since he seemed to write the same value every time to his 2 green LEDs and his 2 red LEDs, I could just put those LEDs in parallel respectively. I was however more concerned about the amount of pins he used rather than the amount of LEDs. The interesting thing was that he used 6 LEDs instead of 12 and claimed to get good results with that. Then I came upon someone ('modeller') in the adafruit forums who owned a 'fakeTV' and had decided to also build one himself.

Moodlights of course change their colour very gradually, whereas with a TV that can be more abruptly, but that is a matter of programming. Actually there is a hoist of Moodlights on instructables. I came upon a 'mini moodlight' with an Attiny85 with 3 LEDs and a moodlight with an Attiny85 that used 3 RGB LEDs. Judging from their website their simplest model has one blue, one green, one red and 4 white LED's, so, 4 channels Ideally I thought of an Attiny, but that has only 5 outputs Supposedly all 5 can be used as SoftwarePWM ( PB0 and PB1 can be used as hardware PWM, PB4 could be used as hardware PWM if analogWrite would be implemented for that pin in the core), that is if you leave Pin 1 (Reset) as is.

Not bigger than a cup of coffee it seems Because I found the price a bit steep for 7-12 LEDs (depending on the model), I started to think how to construct one myself. The FakeTV - if you check their Website is in fact really tiny. He still of course might not want to take a risk and go to a neighbours house. One of the complaints I heard was that the 'scenes' played repeated too often and that a potential burglar who is "casing the joint" would soon see that it was fake. Obviously the curtains cant be too thick and the device itself shouldn’t be visible from the outside. The object is that you put it somewhere where it cant be seen but still has something to project its light on (blinds, curtains). Now of course the risk with that is that you actually may attract a burglar who is after your presumably 'huge flat-screen' I have heard mixed reviews. The price -depending on the model- is from 25 USD to 30 USD to 40 USD for their latest model that simulates a 40"flat-screen. Why was I not surprised that such a product already existed, aptly called ' fakeTV' It is a device that uses 7-12 LED's to mimic the flicker of a TV. So I was thinking that maybe I could simulate the light of a TV with LEDs. However, TV's are energy guzzlers and the idea to have a TV on standby for longer periods while on holiday also didn’t really appeal to me. For that I had an IR Led incorporated in the project and that worked fine. provide connections or house some kind of input such as a momentary push button, light sensor etc.While I was working on an " At home" simulator annex alarm system, one of the things I wanted to do is to have a TV on and from time to time change the channel.contain a 9 pin header to connect to the ATTiny 85 Arduino.provide a connection point for the Neopixel strip data and power.provide 5V power to the Neo pixel strip and the ATTiny 85 Arduino.This year the students could put together their own ATTiny 85 Arduino with a shield to build a project that they can take home. While very successful units were built the students could not work further with their shields unless they purchased their own Arduino Uno. Another common challenge I have used in the past is a traffic light simulator built onto a shield. The motors were used to drive a CNC pencil built on a simple wooden frame.

Last semester the students built motor driver Arduino shields to operate two stepper motors extracted from surplus CDROM drives. In earlier blogs I described the very successful ATTiny 85 home brew Arduino my students build in their high school classroom and some grade 12 challenges involving the design and construction of Arduino shields.
