Dot matrix business card (3)

MAKE Magazine (423) permalink
Tom Ward, whose work will appear in The Best of Instructables book we're currently editing, has just posted an awesome new "extreme business card." It uses a matrix of 5x15 0603 LEDs driven by a PIC16F57 MCU. He says you can get the parts cost down to about $5 each in quantity. Not the kind of card you'd give out on street corners, but if you *really* want to impress somebody... Dot Matrix Business Card ...Contribute comment -
