/* ============================================================================= FireFly Morse Throwie - a light controled (LED as Sensor) morseblinker throwie with ATTiny45/85 ============================================================================= Project definitions, sources ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version: 0.5 - Attiny45 Version Date : 23.02.2014 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspired by Karl Lunt's FireFly project I wrote some code to make this Throwie lasting longer, blinking only at low light levels and morse also some text. http://www.seanet.com/~karllunt/fireflyLED.html How it works: LED detects light level, using bleeding out time of LED pn-capacitor. If dark enough blink a text in morsecode (ATTiny45 = 22 Chars, text will be defined in line 191/192 of this file) To save energy go to powersave mode after blinking or light level is over threshold. Tests this every 8s (maximum time for watchdog timer possible for ATTiny). Repeat this endless Programming: by Arduino IDE + ATTiny extension: http://highlowtech.org/?p=1695 an USB Programmer for ATMELs or you can use an Arduino UNO to do this. http://highlowtech.org/?p=1706 Partslist: 1x ATTiny45 (or Attiny85 but I had have a couple of 45er left, not tryed out at a *85), 1x LED (all typ will work, but you have to adjust the light sensity (see --> "darknessThreshold"). Clear plastic LED types are more light sensitiv, 1x 100 Ohm Resistor 1x CR2032 Battery other batterytypes also good. everything was provide a Voltage from 3V...6V. I have also one version working with a 1F Goldcap and a small 5V solar module. 1x rare earth magnet, because it is a throwie ;-), but not need for working ~x some tape or other stuff to protect the throwie that's up to you. The wiring, it's very simple: +---+ +------\/------+ | | ATTINY45 /85 | > | -+1=PB5 VCC=8+-> to battery Vcc 3V 100 Ohm < | | | > +------+2=PB3 PB2=7+- | | | ----- +------+3=PB4 PB1=6+- LED / \ | | | ----- | +--+4=GND PB0=5+- | | | | | +---+ | +--------------+ | +---------------------> to battery GND You can use other pins if necessary, theoretical up to 3 LEDs, as example I tried out to connect another one at PB2&PB1. working fine.

Morsecode To translate a text into morsecode, there are several ways. You can use this fine online translator: http://morsecode.scphillips.com/jtranslator.html There is also a great morse coder / encoder from Matthias Esterl aka madc. Works fine for Arduino, but not for ATTiny because of RAM limitations. But maybe this is helpful if your project works with an Arduino. https://gist.github.com/madc/4474559 For this project I use a simple case structur. Looks arkward, but the ATTiny45 has only 256byte RAM but 4kFlash. A data structure is better programming but needs a lot of RAM we not have. Therefore this ugly case structure. This will waste the flash memory but we have enough and saving RAM for our payload - the ASCII-string with the morsetext. BTW - Morsecode itself: 'A', ".-" 'B', "-..." 'C', "-.-." 'D', "-.." 'E', "."
