Comment on BlinkM Smart LED as the Smallest Arduino by Raul

Hi
I am a beginner on electronics and I have some doubts regarding the right layout for the FC-6PI pins

I search for it and I found the answer on the following link:

Hi Christian,

Yes, BlinkMs can still be programmed with Arduino 1.0, but the ATtiny85-specific files on this page are a bit stale.

Check out this page for updated files:
http://hlt.media.mit.edu/?p=1695
And for Arduino type you would pick “ATtiny85 (8MHz)” for BlinkMs and BlinkM MinMs, and “ATtiny84 (8MHz)” for BlinkM MaxMs.

Will this still be compatible after the Arduino software was updated to 1.0? Have a couple of BlinkMs laying around and I’m planning to make a neuralyzer from Men in Black for a costume party where I want to incorporate it.

We love this project! We’re big fans of ambient orbs.

Hi Adam,
Glad to hear you got your blink(1)! We do have a support forum of sorts on GetSatisfaction. You can share ideas, projects, get help on stuff, and let us know when things aren’t working right. It’s located at: https://getsatisfaction.com/thingm/products/thingm_blink1

And if you’re a coder, we have the official Github repository of all blink(1) software. It also has a user-editable wiki and issue tracker, but is more focussed on programming. It’s at: http://github.com/todbot/blink1

I’m loving my Blink(1) so far, but I am going to need a hand eventually. Is there any kind of community group for these things? I’d recommend you guys set up a forum if there isn’t one somewhere already.

Keep up the great work, ThingM!

Any update on design files release?

Our hacker space has a few people who want to modify the firmware.

Hi James,

This week we hope! We’re cleaning up the github, putting in some docs, and adding non-code files to it.
