This was just a quick weekend project. A couple years ago, I made a PCB skull-and-cross-bones from a graphics card and RAM. I decided to make it more interesting with some flashing LEDs. <br />

This is what I started with.<br />

I soldered together a little 555 timer circuit that makes the LEDs flash alternately. I added a toggle button from a flashlight and a potentiometer from a CRT TV to control the speed. It may look like it would short out because of the copper leads on the PCB, but I actually put a couple layers of clear lacquer on it.<br />

I put it all together on a piece of scrap acrylic. <br />
