My project for the Cool LED Display has additional constraints.

Friends have asked me to help with a competition piece for their sons nursery... The competition is aimed at the parents.

They have been tasked with making a Christmas decoration from a toilet roll tube.

They want to make an Elf house and have asked if I could produce them a simple light to be placed inside so that it looks like the lights are on through the window...

I feel we can do better than just a simple light.

Introducing the first proto type...

I decided I wanted lights that flashed like a Christmas tree and also an elf to wave in the window.

That's really cute. I like the compact design. I see your prototype is breadboarded. What would you use to control the final product? Are you going to try to have it fit in the "house"?

Hi, ah thank you :-)

I was hoping to give the house a 'garage' for the breadboard and arduino or a platform.

I don't have much experience so I'm not sure what I could have used instead.
