Have you wanted an LED that can fade from deep red to bright purple? Flash like a police light? Turn on with the subtle fade of an incandescent bulb? Flicker like a candle? That's BlinkM.

We've attached an ultra bright wide-angle RGB LED to a microcontroller. Using BlinkM Sequencer, our software that fuses a color picker with a drum machine, you program BlinkM to be any color, and blink and fade in virtually any pattern.

When you've programmed your BlinkM, you unplug it and pop it into your project. Apply 5 volts, and it does its thing, whether that's glowing your favorite pinkish purple, or pulse like an old neon light. All for under $15.

Quick Start requirements:

• No programming experience!
• Arduino I/O board (not included, and you only need one to program any number of BlinkMs)

Advanced requirements:

• Any microcontroller (including BASIC Stamp, MAKE Controller, etc.)
• OSX, Windows, Linux
• Solderless breadboard
• Experience programming Arduino, or similar

Software requirements:

• OSX 10.3.9, Windows 2000, Linux
• Java 1.5 or later (included with Windows installation)
