The board just arrived so iv soldered it and now just waiting for the Orange pack of LED’s that will arrive tomorrow. 
Nice board…
You don’t have any leds left somewhere…?
You have the PIC to play with ?
You can put connector on the board. It would make changing LEDS easier…!
Oh… how much can it bend?
LED’s ordered separately from another supplier. i have the PIC.
About this much?
thanks.
Maybe more if you heat with a HeatGun…?
yes more than likely. but im not sure it has the potential to fit my criteria. id would need two of them also. cool though.
You could take a look at DealExtreme, or ebay for led strip.

cutable in set of 3
i would be tempted to put that under my breakfast bar! 8) lol
here is the demo form the manufactures webside:
LED’ soldered, PIC inserted, Battery connected, We are go!
i have soldered the LED’s with long tails so that they fit the desired circumference.
REAL nice board…
I think i will get one… But … still wonder how to program it… LOL
One way that might be a solution would be to make a breadboard or something with the microcontroller socket, etc, so you can access the chip.?
I have a pic programmer. Somewhere.
Never use it, never look at it.
Program in witch language?

; *****************************************************************
; This code expects you to enter the sequence data correctly.
; If you miss fields, enter incorrect values or generally don’t

radix decimal
; set number base to decimal so it's easier to work with

; Example:
;
;
; control 0,2 ; no mirror, repeat twice
;
; hold 50 ; hold for 50 x 10mS = 0.5S
; sdat 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ; all LEDs off
; hold 50 ; hold for 50 x 10mS = 0.5S
; sdat 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 ; all LEDs dim brightness
; hold 75 ; hold for 75 x 10mS = 0.75S
; sdat 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2 ; all LEDs mid brightness
; hold 75 ; hold for 75 x 10mS = 0.75S
; sdat 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3 ; all LEDs full brightness

; Sequence will repeat this many times before moving to the next sequence
;
; Mirroring
; Asymetric patterns, for example a sequence that moves a dot from left to right are suitable for mirroring
; since the same data when mirrored creates a different pattern. This effecitively gives two different
; sequence patterns without requiring two sets of data.
; Symetrical patterns when mirrored will appear exactly the same, there is no reason to mirror them, but
; it doesn’t care if you do.

; Tip:
; If you put two ‘seqend’ at the end of a sequence it will treat it as the end of
; all sequences. Any sequence data after it will be ignored by the program. This can
; be handy when testing new sequences. Put the new sequence at the top of the sequence
; data file and add two ‘seqend’, then it will only run that sequence.

Tanks Jonny,
I will look if i can get a PIC and make it work…
Just found someone using the big one on a copter
very cool. i wouldnt be able to stop myself doing night flights just to spook the neighbours. 8)
