The idea was to have two LEDs, one is flashing all the time and the other one joins in as long as a switch is pressed. The LEDs then flash alternating. The hardware is very straight forward.

Use a switch to change the signal on a port, and turn the LED on and of based on that signal. A simple on off switch done the difficult way.

This is a LED that does not really exist, it is in your imagination only. So how do you know wether this LED is on or off? By serial communication to the PC.

It all started 1986 with these stepper motors and interface that my older brother Markus built. He even suggested I build a plotter.

This circuit serves as an ultra-low power replacement for multiple LED on-off indicators. It also has the advantage of being easy to read in full daylight.

Measure the distance to an object within 25 cm to 8 meters using standard 40 kHz transducers. Takes around 20 samples per second.
